Message: [QUOTE="Mister Wright, post: 3138044, member: 2160"] We all know why Bennett is saying this. Whether it is true or not (and I highly doubt it is all true) it is a ploy to take the heat off his own team that is struggling (with a far better squad mind you). For example Bennett mentions we have 12 Origin & Test players. Here they are: Boyd - retired from Origin & wouldn’t be picked anyway unless there was a massive injury toll. Milford - 2 Origins. 1 from the bench. Issako - I reckon some fans would even say, “oh really? he’s played for NZ. WoW!” Hardly a Kiwi mainstay. Oates - A fringe Origin player at the moment. Bird- Injured and we’d be in a far better position if he was healthy. Te’o. Out of the game for 6 years. Luke - When did he last play for NZ? Haas- Played 1 Origin. Fifita - 1 origin series, currently injured. Glenn - Genuine test player, but for how much longer? TPJ - Test quality. Spends half the season suspended. It is a catchy line, but it’s not like in Bennett’s prime when he legitimately had 12 current, experienced and entrenched Origin players. [/QUOTE]
