salivor said:Origin has got nothing to do with it, people are acting like its suddenly caught the Broncos by surprise. They've dealt with it throughout the clubs history and managed to remain successful. They also managed to win all 3 of their backing up games this year, the losing streak had nothing to do with origin.
I disagree. With the 'enforcement' of the salary cap the Broncos have less (class) players to cover the commitments of the Origin players.
In the pre-enforcement salary cap days you guys had a more than adequate supply of back-up players.
They are not there anymore!
One way to get around this problem (of less cover of rep players) is naturally - to have less players participating in rep games.
