The Canberra game on Saturday night once again illustrated a weakness in the Broncos game I've noticed for a few weeks now. They start with the big guns - Webke and Civoncevia - but when they both come off together (at about the same time) things start to look shaky.
Nothing against Parker or Carlaw, but they don't have the same presence or impact as those two. And other teams certainly get more opportunities when the big guns are off. During the Canberra game, Webke, Civi and Carroll were all off together and Canberra started to get a roll-on.
Should Bennett start with Webke and Parker (for example), and bring Carlaw and Civoncevia off the bench, so that at least one of the big guns are on at the one time? Or is it best to throw the big guns in for the first 20 minutes to 'soften-up' the opposition?
