PRE-GAME Round 2 - Broncos vs Cowboys

[BroncsFan]

It's not, though. That's a pretty standard prop rotation. Every other team in the comp does the same thing.

The starting props will play for about 20-30 minutes to start off with, the bench props will come on for 20-30 minutes and the starting props will come back on to finish the game.

Most bench props will play 30 minutes of game time, some less.

Just did a check on every bench prop from rd 1 and it averaged out to about 36mins. That includes the junior dudes who grabbed 10-15 junk minutes.

Ah Mau played 38mins for the drags.

Every rotation is different but anyone looking at our starting front row of Lodge and TPJ and expecting them to both churn out +50mins with minimal support from the bench or Sammy to be relied on to play 30 straight in the middle are kidding themselves.

We don't have a front row rotation that can support 2 guys playing 30mins.

I think Webby is being a bit presumptuous when he says ' come origin time '. Gone are the days when we had five or six away on origin duty. The way these guys started rd 1 we'd be lucky to have any in the team. In fact we've more chance of having a couple of NSW reps. being called away.

We're still going to lose players to Origin. Boyd, Gillett, McGuire etc.

They are the incumbents. They will be given first crack regardless of form.

Whether Boyd will even be fit come origin is debatable.

I'll be surprised if they decide to play Boyd on a bung leg in Origin.

 

[Nashy]

I hope they pick Thaiday and don't play him, just so he can go away to camp for a bit.

The incumbents was more a Mal thing. I think Kevvie showed he is a bit more open to picking who is the best player in form when he didn't pick Oates even though he was the incumbent. Wasn't exactly playing badly either.

Is there a game on beforehand tomorrow?

It's also a Kevvie thing.

Which is why Oates, Thaiday were selected for Game 1 and why Boyd was selected over Slater.

Yeah then he dropped them like a sack of shit after one loss.

I mean at Suncorp, but I wouldn't be upset if they put it on the big screen

I thought you might have meant that, in that case no idea. But that would seriously be sweet if they broadcast the earlier game at the ground.

picking incumbents has been a QLD thing from the beginning (with one or two exceptions), regardless of coach
