Yep. The signing of particularly Boyd was nothing short of a joke, the team was weaker for having him there in place of Gidley.
While Gidley was never blessed with the marquee-quality talent of many other players, he showed that hard work and never giving up could be as equally valuable.
The best footy I recall him playing was at the back or off the bench, not in the halves where he was forced to go.
Every club Bennett left was in worse shape roster-wise, without consideration of long-term development or recruitment strategies. All of the following coaches suffered for it and felt the axe shortly after.
Brisbane was luckier than the Dragons and Knights in the fact they maintained enough experienced and talented players to be competitive when he first left.
No salary cap helps the Broncs too Wobbles
