Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2648078, member: 1899"] [B]Broncos Prepped And Ready[/B] WAYNE Bennett says his squad is prepped ready for one of the most challenging pre-seasons in Brisbane Broncos' history. The Broncos' squad will move into game mode this weekend with the start of the Auckland Nines tournament. And the trip across the Tasman will only be the beginning of the Frequent Flyer miles, as the Broncos play pre-season matches in three separate countries. After the Nines in New Zealand, the Broncos will face the Cowboys in Mackay and then fly long haul to play Wigan in England. But the hot, humid Brisbane summer the players have just endured will have them primed, said Bennett. "I am pretty pleased with the pre-season," said Bennett. "It has been hot and very humid, one of the hottest summers we have had for a long time. "It does wear the players down but the players have been good. "We just have to get through it and are getting through it. "It will all come together and hopefully we come through with not too many injuries and with everyone fit in the squad." Bennett said the unusual pre-season had its challenges but the Broncos were monitoring the players carefully. Playing in the World Club series against Wigan in England will be a wonderful opportunity for the club. The Broncos' staff is doing everything to make sure the side is ready to go when they open the NRL season against premiers the Rabbitohs on Thursday, March 5 at Suncorp Stadium. "It is all going to have its challenges," he said. "But we have great staff and know what we are doing it so it is just a case of managing it. "No-one is going to get over-exposed with too much of anything. "We will nurse the players through."

Namely that Thaiday, Hodgo and Parker among others won't play in the Mackay trial against the Cowboys since Wayne doesn't want them to travel too much before the season proper. [/QUOTE]
