I have been reading on some forums people having a go at Henjak for making so many changes... WTF do they expect when you have 5 of your better players coming back injury and suspension.

I wouldn't have put Te'o back in the side the Forwards did well last week and IMO Te'o isn't an essential part of the side we have a thousand backrowers.. All good making changes but a few of them are questionable IMO.

Te'o was playing well before he was dropped due for disciplinary reasons.

He wasn't playing to his potential but he was playing pretty well.

He was good against the Raiders.

Otherwise he was mixed.

I will admit though, I do hold some hostility towards Te'o. He's cool and all, but he's no Stagg, Hannant, Eastwood or Boyd.

*sigh* I miss my old Broncos.

No in 2012 we'll be praising the Broncos efforts in winning their 7th premiership. ^^

I can't see why we are persisting with Setu in the team TBH. Play Glenn in the centres and leave it at that. No wonder our attack is woeAlso the 2 backs on the bench idea is rubbish I am over it.ful we keep changing centres mid match. Also starting the 2 front rowers is a bit silly IMO maybe start Dodds and Kenny and bring Lui and Anderson on together or even leave Dodds out there he is a tackling machine. Sometimes I really wonder what goes on in Ivans little bald head.

Obviosuly Sims is out of favour with Henjak I expect to see him sign with another club and no doubt seeing his brothers leave with him.

Yow Yeh is still in a bit of doubt so that may be a reason behind it.

Precisely.

Although, I'm treating 2010 as our 1999, we'll bounce back in 2011 with our REAL squad of players.

2010 is vastly different to 1999. This year we are blooding a heap of young players, lots of injuries and I reckon we are doing well and getting better. Didn't we have Renouf, Lockyer, Langer, Carroll, Thorn, Tuquiri, Hancock and Tallis in 1999?

I mean, aside from the for-against, aren't we on the same points as the full strength Eels, Bulldogs and Kniggots, with still more key players to come back?

As for the team selected this week, I think it's a good one, but then, things will likely change.

I agree with another poster that Henjak is hoping Gillett will give Winterstein lots of ball, and will probably swap with Glenn as needed.

I still reckon Sims should be there. He's played well since returning.

We blooded a heap too in 1999.

Maybe, but look at those “stars” in the '99 squad we don't have today.

You do make a valid point, and the game has changed so much since then with limited interchanges and what not.

I was being very loose with my comparison though.
