Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3232762, member: 1899"] The strategy isn't exclusive to Seibold but we're talking the exact same players he had in the exact same situation Seibs found himself in. If you can remember, the halves faced similar criticism after they failed to set up a single try against Newcastle despite a stack of possession in the second half. There were calls for Dearden to come in and instead of going the whole hog, Seibs brought him onto the bench as a compromise. The critical difference between those situations is that the coaches rarely find themselves under the amount of pressure the Broncos are currently facing. Typically they have the 16 players they can rely on and the 17th is merely there as back-up or a way to blood the talent. Dearden has played 17 games of first grade, he doesn't need to be blooded and he doesn't need experience at dummy half. Some fans have come around on Ben Hunt playing the utility role. I didn't mind it as an option for 2010-11, but after 33 games, they should have concentrated on his game as a halfback. I even think 33 games was over-kill and should have been more like 20.
