Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2448949, member: 2221"] Your schedule would've been much better for this year Dexter, but here are the facts: - No way will Nine allow the Broncos to play the Storm or the Cowboys on a Monday! - What if the Roosters were the team flying under the radar (like the Dogs were)? We would have played them at full strength with all our reps missing... - There is only one Monday night game, what about the other Origin affected clubs? - You can't have the NRL blockbusters play second fiddle to Origin. Why should a Broncos - Cowboys or a Storm - Manly be played without the Origin stars or with them backing up 2 or 3 days after such an intense game? - Finally, as long as there are teams with a superior contingent in Origin (and that will always be the case), playing SOO on Wednesdays between NRL weekends will always give the other teams a leg up, and that will never be fair competition! Fourex, it's the third year in a row that the Broncos play the top teams around the Origin weeks. This year it was Melbourne and Cowboys, last year it was Manly and the Dragons, the year before Manly and Cowboys, etc... You can't just say that the Broncos have to play the crappy teams during the rep season, because every team is entitled to do it. And please note that this has nothing to do with this year in particular, it happens EVERY year! Most times we come out of it relatively unscathed, other times like this year, we don't. And what we certainly don't get, is a fair chance to fight for the minor premiership, or at least a top 2 or even 4 spot! Just this season, we could've now been qualified for the finals instead of the Sharks, had we played them with our rep players. Instead we sent out a forward pack of children that was bashed out of the park by men! [/QUOTE]
