I think it would be unfair to say that the halves pairing won Bronco's the game, Reynolds off injured, Hunt off HIA.....
Why start this way after a great GF, where'e the revelance of that opening?
I say this because there seems to be a discussion (on the 1EE) about old players and young players.....seemingly about coaching styles. Not the Storm Coach but of all things the Parramatta Coach.
The reality is both coaches Bellamey and Maguire did a great job, the discussion should be more about the depth and lets not mention "Reece Walsh". Before you start raving about coaches and the like, you could/would (unless your blind) say that Walsh single handedly got them(Broncs) to the GF and equally so, won it for them.......... Coaching aside!
Lets move back to this discussion and the debate over whether Maguire was a huge mistake on our part in not grabbing him instead of Ryles.
Well I am going to say that argument is subjective and whilst I have an opinion I think it bears discussion rather than debate, one thing I am certain of is that Maguire is not 10 times better coach than Ryles.
I support Ryles for his vision and the way he has handled this/his mission.
Someone else can say what Maguire would have done if he had been appointed the same time as Ryles, I am certainly not knocking him and I am not a great believer in he can only win with "stars" in his team. It can be argued in someways that you have to be a special coach to even do that, as many coaches have failed with "star laden" teams!
Now if you wanted to start afresh tomorrow with Ryles and Maguire as the two applicants and knowing what we know now after yesterdays Grand Final. Who would you pick as your coach for Parramatta and why?

I give Madge credit because of the spotlight you are under up at Brisbane.
Its not like taking over any other club there the biggest richest club in the nrl the pressure and expectation is there for all to see.
Thats where we are very different the expectations wouldn't be the same here drought regardless.Brisbane have an expectation to win we do not consistently that's the difference.
Hats off to Brisbane .
Beat the minor premiers in Canberra , beat the 4 time premiers in Penrith then knocked off the NRL benchmark of the last two decades in the GF.
Doesnt get any more deserving then that and chasing points to boot.
Outstanding month of football from them.
The Broncos Pack, Bench and Reece Walsh ....
