The End of Empire: The Sharp Decline of the Brisbane Broncos

[Chumbason]

I agree, WB did as much harm as good.

Cullen does need to go, Henjack can stay on till a real coach comes on offer, but we NEED some forwards!!!

With our backs and handy halves, a good pack has us flying again.

The empire was always going to come down at some stage but I didn't think Lockyer would still be playing TBH. There are some pretty obvious probelms with the club at the moment which need to be sorted out ASAP IMO. The whole club needs an attitude adjustment and a kick up the arse + a good clean out of players, Admin and coaching staff.

It's pretty incredible isn't it?

All Slater related posts in this thread will be deleted. In future, official warnings will be given to people who start conversations completely unrelated to the topic being discussed. People who start off-topic conversations related to Slater/The Storm will be given double warnings because I'm fucking sick of them.

Astroboy, we dont want or need Bennett back. he was at the heart of all of our poor player retention/recruitment.

Nup, that was Bruno, read the article. Bruno restricting the say Bennett had in things was the whole reason for him leaving. I suppose you would have been calling for Bennett's head in 92/93/98/2000 when he was proving year in year out what a genius he is too? You know, back when the Broncos were the powerhouse of RL, the club stood for everything good and right, the players had discipline, we actually recruited and held on to the right players? So what changed between then and now? Bruno that's what. Read the 1st post again. The end-of-2008-season episode would never have happened back then, because Bennett ran the things that mattered, not some dumb-ass CEO.

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but what would you have done differently?

This stuff always comes around when we lose a few in a row. It will all be forgotten in 3 rounds time when we are back in the 8 and are the new form team of the competition.

The Broncos have turned into a business and Bennett was imo not ready to accept that. And may i ask why you only use 92/93/98/00? Does the Superleague not matter to you as well? and what about 06?

I'd be very surprised if he ever came back. I douht he would want to return and I doubt the club would want him back although that would depend on who is coach and CEO I guess.

x 2. We have tried being patient and giving people gentle reminders, but seems nazi admins need to make a return. It's not hard people - if you want to discuss something else, start a new thread.

You can believe he was mis treated, or you can believe he wanted to be the first player to go to AFl from RL....

Pick which one you want. He will be back im sure.

Or you can believe he was a sooky la-la.

Didnt Bennet clean out the coaching staff a couple seasons back?
