Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2585004, member: 1899"] Oh yeah, it definitely helped with the benefit of hindsight. But during those three losses to the Cowboys, Tigers & Raiders it looked like the move backfired and really made the players complacent. In the end, it turned out to be the best thing for the squad and it lead into the perfect storm for the Broncos. It wasn't too dissimilar to Hook's decision to rest the rep. stars in 2011 which certainly helped Locky + Hodges in the back end of the season. Thinking back, it was one of many factors that helped us in 2011 - the injuries/suspensions also enabled the likes of McGuire, Gillett, Hoffman & McCullough to hit peak form at the right time too and gave us nice depth in Beale who could and would go onto cover the fullback role. But yeah 06 was such an up and down year but really was a defining moment for a lot of players. While it wasn't the Broncos, I think Game 2 2006 was a real defining moments for a lot of players. If Queensland don't put in the performance they do and get beat that night, I reckon the way we talk about Locky, Civo etc. would be a lot different. [/QUOTE]
