Started the season like a Lamborghini speed form 0-100km in no time. But since the Sharks hit their Achilles heel the bleeding hasnt stopped.
The current journey has entered the "origin period" excuse that is used many times over their proud history. Is it a mental thing cause like the storm has been nearly sitting in the front row of this origin period boat and have seem to be enjoying the journey with only the one lost so far in this origin period. Storm you could say maybe a bit better off with only their little man backing up for origin unlike Brisbane with their big man ending up like, the hare in the hare and the toistorise story. Playing great for qld but running out of gas in the club level back up games. Where the game is often won in the forward.
Hunt has been missing in action. Wounded mentally it seems to me by the drop kickoff and the penalty before that that lead to the try to lead to overtime. Can he find that image and game that some were saying next superstar or will he be lost in the crowd of upcoming superstars.
Millford has seem to played his cards too much the same and the opposition has seem to work out how his game is beening played. In terms of poker he plays with no plan b or c and getting caught out.
Parker has called it quits. Thalday must be nearly be on the same level. Leaders great leaders they been now like a boxer that fought a fight too many.
In saying that champions find one last second wind to end their destiny. Many finish on a high note but do these two forwards have the motor to combat with the extra games they play than most forwards play in club level?
How do Wayne react he not the best coach in terms of rough times. Newcastle, he left early called timeout and join his current team with a premiership looking good on the holy grail.
Remember he left the broncos after that great era finish in 2006. Tryed a few more years and see a better offer with the Dragons with more a hope on winning the premiership and collect another winning coach premiership to his already legend status. Once that was acheive and seen that vision was no likely to win another premiership He was bought for money to Newcastle and a bandwagon of players etc Boyd come and join him. Was his heart plus Boyds really in it and for his record as a coach remain one of the worst in Newcastle club history.
If the Broncos fail to meet the top shelf expectations of this season lose a few players over the off season will next year been the last for Wayne Bennett he not be really wanting to end on a sour note thoe
Brisbane at this moment has to look at just next week and win that. Another lost be out of the 8 and it crises mode even if they say that not the case.
Time will tell. Remember this is the longest in Brisbane history not winning a premiership this is 10 years ago since they last won one. With talks of another Brisbane team been predicted in the NRL crystal ball and little brother North Queensland growing up with more toughnessand fight cause of been in the shadow of Queensland idol Brisbane.
Will Brisbane come back to the level of every one else. Team no longer fear going to suncorp lang park etc. Has the titans and growth of North Queensland cost Brisbane more premierships today.
Crowd number best in the comp. But will that last if the club has a rough patch like the 90s Rabbits and Eels in recent years. While i dont see Brisbane every going that bad. But it only takes a little free fall for this all mighty club to have setbacks that the club may not be used to or know how it handle as it been number 1 for most of it short history.
