Well it IS practically an egg timer on our title glory... 2 years to win one then we might be out of the race for a little bit.

WOW, If you were the coach, i'd be considering not supporting the Broncos. Those 4 guys + our other forwards, Thaiday, Parker (If I've forgotten anyone, sorry)., they piggybacked us to the finals imo.
If I were coach, i'd make it my priority to re-sign them for at least another 2 yrs. In fact, i'd make sure at least 2 of them played out their career with us.

The only reason they played better was because there livelihood was on the line. All 4 of them were threatened to have contracts ripped up. They Finally pull there finger out for 6 weeks and now everyone wants to have them signed for a couple more years. No thanks, keep playing as well as the last 6 weeks for a good period of time and show you care about wearing the broncos jersey then maybe get an extension. (I would like to point out that Clinton did play well during the year, a big improvement on 2008 for sure so I will give him credit but it seems he is just on the outter with the club - which doesn't phase me either)

Man you're fickle.
The only way i would stop supporting the broncos is if Hitler is reincarnated and becomes CEO.

It had nothing to do with the players you mentioned.

- The biggest challenge next season will be finding a fullback. Hoffman is my pick, but from what I've seen, he'll only be a short term option.
- Kemp's return is good for two reasons. One his combination benefits Lockyer's game and secondly his noted friendship with Steve Michaels will help with Steve's rehibilitation. While Steve had a terrible year, what a number of us have forgotten was the severity of his injury and the fact he sustained a number of injuries during the off-season. 2010 will be a make or break season.
- Lockyer needs to retire from represenative football if the Broncos are going to be any chance of making the 8.
- Kenny is our best defensive forward.
- McCullough is our future superstar.
- Parker is terribly overated by Broncos supporters. Which is ironic considering how underated he was in 2006 and 2007.
- Unless he puts in a big off-season, Winterstein runs the risk of being a one-season wonder.
- If Setu can put last season behind him, he'll be one of the best backrows in the competition. Te'o is a handy fringe runner but he lacks some heart.
- Sims doesn't get the wraps he deserves. He was awesome for us for the first three games of 08 and in 09 was consistently good for us. However when he seems to lose, he seems to be targetted unfairly.
- With all things considered, Clinton and Marsh are two of the worst Broncos signings in the history of the club. Clinton lost us Civoniceiva while Marsh has been a money hole.
- Glenn has the potential to be the next Shaun Berrigan. I love his attitude and he has a big future with us.
- I love Yow Yeh, but he's the ultimate confidence player.
-Copley is the next Brent Tate, minus the brace.
- I'd love to see Hala used more in 2010. He was fantastic in the Under 20's and I believe with a big off-season could be the answer to our front row problem. Lui could also make something of himself.

Yeah I pretty much like every broncos forward in history besides Te'o, Sims, Clinton & Setu.
None of above mentioned players have ever disappointed me as much as these 4 nuffies who couldn't give 2 sh*ts about our club. A Little bit of me died inside when these 4 blokes were given the opportunity to don our great bronco jersey. Even young J Mcguire and Glenn show more heart than these 4 who have had previous experience and are a bit older.
I don't care if players aren't as good as others or if they are crap, all I want from the players who are given the opportunity to wear the broncos jersey is to show some god damn heart and passion, not this laughing and joking after our biggest loss in history.
Its funny how individuals can hate a player when they are with another club, eg: watmough or mason (as examples) but if players which arent liked in the first place sign with your club then people completely change their tune. Well, this doesn't change for me. Whoever signs with the great brisbane broncos needs to be proud to be a bronco, needs to show their heart for the club. Being a bronco should be a god damn proud achievement. And nothing these 4 blokes have done thus far during their time at the club - wether it be on field or off field, has shown me that they are worthy of wearing such a proud proud jersey and being apart of the best sporting club and sporting culture in history.

Sorry, but that's a load of tosh.
No heart? LOL!
Do you ever see the way Clinton runs at the defence? Full throttle, with passion and determination to break the line. That's called heart. Same goes for Sims.
How about when Setu scored that try against the Dragons? Did you see the joy on his face? He's delighted to be here and was delighted to score for us in such an important match. Te'o as well. He's excellent for team morale.
Your basis for criticism is unfounded and ridiculous. You have some kind of agenda against these aforementioned chaps and can't seem to accept they are all very talented and of benefit to the club.

I agree with the comments regarding Clinton. He definetely does not lack heart. His hands can be a bit of a problem sometimes, but you could not question his commitment. Plus, I was impressed with the way he copped that outlandish fine on the chin and came back and tried to let his football do the talking for him. I do not know who has the agenda against him but I wish they would pull their head in.
