Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2995968, member: 1899"] These days the players are so fit and talented you only need 16 players to interchange the forwards. The 17th is merely there for injuries, which is why I didn't have an issue with Wayne playing Mead, Staggs etc. The difference between Bennett and Griffin is that Wayne wasn't afraid to use his bench players. Hook was virtually afraid to go to his bench and often the bench players were rarely getting more than 20 minutes, even if they were making an impact on the game. Bennett had better talent to rely on, but I put that down to Hook's recruitment. He thought the Broncos could get by with players like Luke Capewell, Nathaniel Barnes, Liam Georgetown, Joe Bond, Delroy Berryman, Nick Slyney, Jon Green etc. what a joke that turned out to be. Seibold experimented with the bench. At first he went with George Burgess coming off the bench for added impact, but he was playing so well that he had to include him in the starting side. I'm not sure who Souths fans exactly wanted to see more of, their depth was incredibly poor. Outside of Murray, there wasn't anyone you'd want to grant long minutes to. I don't think he'll have the same problem here with the way Bennett left the roster, I do think Bennett will struggle down in Redfern though unless he can really get something out of Liam Knight.
