If you really believe that then I have to ask if you've actually watched the team play this year

Yeah but I'm sure everyone understands we are playing for the Premiership, plus if Storm is also resting it should be close, hopefully we see some debuts like Mozer and maybe Te Kura.

Hopefully people aren't reading Badel for his opinions.

I think so, yes. I think anyone replacing him would make us significantly weaker. Jesse, Deloise, etc. I rate him more of a loss than Herbie, but others might differ.Staggs....a huge loss?
I'm surprised I put Oates so low, but I think we covered him pretty comfortably.
Feel free to do your own list.

Just on the subject of all the dropped balls, I was impressed with Canberra's stealth stripping by targetting the ball carrier's arm. Didn't win the game for them, but we would've ripped them a new arsehole if we'd have been able to control the ball.
Not a bad skill to work on over the preseason, in my opinion. As long as we don't end up getting pinged out of existence for it.

I like the idea of Rogers, he's 28 so he's a great story, won a Cup with Bears in 2019 and worked hard. He's steady and kicks goals.
This year I think he's been great when Wynnum haven't had stars- he steadies the whole operation. Plays on the left and is certainly low maintenance. He's bigger and steps well so if something comes up, he's ok taking it on back off his left foot.
Has a combination with Madden already.

I don't see how he's wrong.
Just a couple of weeks ago Kevvie said he wasn't resting anyone. A lot of people forked out over $100 each for tickets hoping to see the Broncos push for their first trophy in a very long time.
I think people have a right to be a little pissed.

I think the final round would be less credible if teams were forced to field their full-strength side for the fans' sake. The top 4 teams have earned their right to rest players and this doesn't make the final round any less credible. A round being credible and fans being disappointed are two different things.

Exactly. If you are going to have a finals series this is going to happen - it happens in every sport that is decided by playoff games. Don't want it to happen, then get rid of the finals and make the minor premiership the major premiership. Of course then you run the risk of the comp being over weeks out from the last game, taking the meaning out of many games...

Must admit, i think the best team is the one who comes out on top before the finals. You prove yourself week in week out, not in a knockout competition.
