Like most ( if not all lol) I'd really love to have been privy to all the 'behind the scenes' talk that happened in recent years ...you know fly on the wall type of thing. My best guess is that a group of somehow disenfranchised powerbrokers have/had finally got the numbers to run things as they saw fit instead of a coach who, while keeping the daily details and administration at arms length, managed to set the tone, the agenda, the profile and the future direction of the club and yet still was free of the clerical/bookwork type of grind. In short. I think some thought WB to be too powerful and unanswerable ultimately.
I think that petty jealousies will be to the detriment of a truly great club.

Actually, I believe the time was completely right for Wayne to go.
The problem was the Broncos, probably through arrogance, just assumed the high profile names bandied about as replacements ( Henry and Bellamy ) would jump at the chance to link with us.
Ivan was a stop gap replacement for an embarrassed club.
Hopefully this year the blinkers are off and the management and players realise they are nothing special anymore and should act and play accordingly.
Like the once great West Indies cricket teams, skill and talent wins for a while, the aura jags a few results and then the penny drops.
The penny has dropped.

Not sure that's true - on the roast he made mention that he wouldn't coach the Broncos because the people up north wouldn't let him do it. Being Gus, he's probably hinting that certain people in the establishment would have to move on.

Gould and Ryan are the best.
The rest are doppelgangers.
I did say this years ago though.
The QLD mentality didn't accept it at the time.
I think some of you folk should spend some time with me and the NIng in the Hunter Valley.
You need to wake up a bit or continue to delude yourselves.
There are lots of magnificent things in NSW.
Especially footy brains.
The QLD mentality is a bit hicksville at times.
Especially the appointing within mentality.
You guys will end up with multile fingers and other assorted body parts.
It might be good for the cricket team though.
Who would pick the flipper?
