Half the points scored against us the year were scored down our right side.
If Gillette was there most of those points wouldn't have been scored.
Get the spine right and we will out sore any side.
**** the wrestle, lets play footy.

Sometimes we consider change to be unfair for the game but it can also be unfair for the team if we don’t accept it. The wrestle to hurt is totally unacceptable but to slow down the play the ball to improve our defence is a no brainer. If we don’t, it gives our opposition too big of an advantage and by being the good guys we have become one of the worst defensive sides in the competition. I hate the wrestle but if the NRL are accepting so should we until until it changes.
Was reading Corey Parker's book Iron Man and here's his thoughts on the wrestle:
"The wrestle is the scourge of rugby league but it was already at the Broncos when I made my debut in 2001. We used to have to go for wrestling sessions at the PCYC and they were full-on.
Sometimes blood would be spilled and there would be wayward head-butts going on and everything like that.
Players like Shane Webcke would see them as a real opportunity to try and assert some force and, as a young kid, I never wanted to take a backward step.
Now every club has wrestling sessions and we do two or three at the Broncos a week and I hate them.
I know Wayne isn't a fan of the wrestle, but he also understands that it's part of the game."
Interesting. Is is possible we just need a new wrestling coach?

It's why we sent Vidot to the WWE.
I guess not, he'll be with the Reds from November onward.
We sure this isn't on Wayne? That's 2 assistant / specialist coaches in consecutive seasons that have bailed prematurely.
Ryan hasn't agreed to anything yet- doesn't even talk to Broncos until next week.
Surely they didn’t offer him a day a week like they offered Gillmeister.

No clue?... 10 weeks with us prior to joining the reds, and the “super” rugby season only goes till july. And he will still be available as a consultant even during that period...
