First off…. I hope he stays.
I understand his brother is leaving and his great mate, Watmough has had plenty to say in the Media (and other places) but….. I wonder if that will help him put things into perspective?
I was a bit young to remember Fulton so for mine; Wally Lewis and Lockyer are the 2 best players I've seen.
In the latter part of his career, Lewis's ego was such, he thought he was bigger than the game. He could have stayed at the Broncos but Bennett was sick of his BS and he ended up at the Gold Coast. These last few seasons were a huge let down for a player of his ability and his career ended with a whimper.
Lockyer on the other hand, ended his career at the only club he ever played for. He was and still is revered at the Broncos and throughout the league world in general. I wonder if the lesson of what happened to Wally in even a small way, helped to influence some of the choices he made in his career.
Brett is at a crossroads right now (like it seems, many of the players are!). The choices he makes over the coming months will determine, how the last few years of his career turn out. Also, the kind of legacy he leaves behind.
