I would’ve gone with resting Walsh & Patty for Sailor & Jensen.
Looks like the integration of Piakura has begun.
Pereira would be worth a shout i think for that side
They won't though. We have 3 byes in the 2nd half of the season not to mention all the origin players will be rested on at least one ocassion (mostly like twice) off the back of an origin game. You also have to remember that they didnt play footy for nearly 2 weeks (13 days) before game 1. They also get long layoffs before each of the remaining origin games. Not to mention that if we are in a good enough position at the end of the year that we can't go up or down the ladder in the final round they all get a rest for finals. If this was against anybody else you probably take the time but you have to remember if they are capable of playing this game and they don't and we lose and at the end of the year they don't get that rest cause we are fighting for the top 4 or yet again we miss the 4, it would be pretty annoying. At the end of the day top 4 is a must to compete for a comp and whilst Origin is great and a privilege they get contractually paid to play for the Broncos not the Maroons and if they can't survive with 3 byes from the start of the origin period to the end of the season without staying at a reasonable level - obviously they will fatigue to a degree - than they are taking the piss and that privilege should not be given to those who can't perform to that said standard. If one of them really thought they weren't in a position to play this week they would say something as well. Patty having played 68 minutes in the middle probably very well could need a rest but I think Piakura's inclusion on the bench means that Hetho and Capes will have a decent amount of minutes through the lock position. I think if their is anything to be worried about is the tactical preparation the players have going into such a crucial game.

Surely it's some injury, Jensen should be a Starter it makes no sense.
