Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2688260, member: 1899"] It's not as if Dave Smith is afraid of making changes or if this is a new problem. Bennett has been peddling this longer than I've been alive and it goes back to the first ever Origin game. Either way, you're going to piss somebody else. If you make it a stand-alone weekend, the players will whinge about fatigue since you're basically extending the season to compensate. Plus, if you do that, you get certain sections of the media and fanbases crying that they're bored and going to flick it to the AFL or whatever. Point is, this isn't a system you can rush into and Bennett's suggestion isn't exactly the best idea either. If you want the best Origin players on the field, giving them a week to recover isn't going to allow that to happen. [/QUOTE]
