I reckon this will be the Brisbane Roar’s most crucial season so far. The reigning A League champions line up against Adelaide at Suncorp on Sunday as the most successful club in the competition’s history. More importantly they are currently the most successful football team in Queensland. Over the last few years they’ve pretty much had the stage to themselves in Brisbane with the Broncos and Lions struggling after the loss of supercoaches Wayne Bennett and Leigh Matthews. That all changes in a few months when Bennett returns to town in a move that is being tipped to be worth millions to his old club in sponsorships, ticket sales and merchandising. With only so many dollars up for grabs in a tight market the Roar are going to have to be right on their game both on and off the field. Given all they have achieved in recent seasons, the thought of them raising the bar even further is an enticing prospect. Broncos supporters are rightly excited about the return of Bennett but I reckon he could prove to be winner for Roar fans as well. What do YOU reckon?
