[quote="Anonymous person":jzgwwfhb]i dont get where all of a sudden everyones saying we're going to struggle is coming from?

we've basically got the same team as last year, minus hunt and taylor, have gained tim smith, and now instead of having like 11 guys under the age of 20 that have no first grade experience like we did last year, we have 11 guys under the age of 20 with first grade experience under their belt, know what it takes to make it in the NRL, and strung together some of the most impressive wins by any broncos team of the last 9 seasons at the end of the season.

so why again are we all doom and gloom? if any season had the makings of a 'middle of the pack' ending, it was last year - new coach, whole new team, same old weight of expectation.

+1

I think we will be in the 8 comfortably.

Spot on, Lockyer, Thaiday, Inglis and Hannant will all be there for sure plus Hodges, Te'o and Gillett will be in the maybe pile. I like the fact we have Hunt, Norman and McCullough to all try and cover for Lockyer which helps and I think we actually have genuine forward depth now with guys like McGuire, Ahern and Lui. Regardless we could suffer in the Origin period.

First up, I appologise if the following has been discussed in another thread .. only skimmed back a couple of pages and couldn't find anything similar so kicked off this new topic.

Ok, so I don't want to stir up a hornets' nest with the masses in here who view the football landscape through maroon and gold glasses ( icon_thumbs_u ) but even the most ardent Broncos supporters would have to admit that 2010 is going to be tough. We're used to this club being considered among the top four or five title favourites every season, but in 2010 the Broncos are considered middle of the pack. And it's hard to argue against because the club has lost some big names and some influential individuals.

And while I'm not writing off 2010 as a 'throwaway' by any means, I can't help but be very intrigued to see the direction the Broncos opt to go in 2011.

Surely the club appears will have quite a bit of salary cap cash to spend given the departures of Hunt and Clinton among others. Can we expect the Broncos to "do a Bulldogs of 09" (although probably not to the extend they did) and get active in the player market ?

Mate we are acutally second favourites to win the comp this year at the moment. You cant say we are considered "middle of the pack" when your second favourite to win a comp!!

umm Donny you might want to look at the date that he wrote that post....

Also consider the fact we are actually currently sitting in the 'middle' of the pack we are not assured of finals yet and sit in a very large group of teams who won't all fit. Saying that I think we will make it and I see us having a good chance this season.
