Message: [QUOTE="ethos, post: 2270112, member: 1784"] I can't really understand the point of having a half on the bench. Realistically, an injury to either Wallace or Lockyer during a game is pretty unlikely (unless they go into a match half injured, in that case Smith or Hunt as cover makes sense), so where would they play when they come on the field? I can't see them getting more the 15-20 minutes tops. And who would come off the field? And I'm not sure playing off the bench would help their development - they'd only be getting 15 minutes-ish of competitive footy per week. Hunt would be best served in the Queensland Cup at the moment and, unless he's starting with the Broncos, Smith will have to play QCup as well. If they want to leave because of that, then, well, so be it. Their incentive to stay is the opportunity to train with Lockyer, Wallace and learn under Henjak and then push for a long term spot when Lockyer goes in a few years time. I also think we need the four forwards (Glenn included) on the bench. Sims, Setu and Te'o have, so far, been consistently inconsistent and the extra fresh go forward would be handy. [/QUOTE]
