I mean looking at the Cows they face Newcastle at home would they really think it's necessary to play JT after a 3 day turnaround? Given how sloppy they were against the Dragons and how spirited Newcastle were I wouldn't be so arrogant as to rest all of them but would they really think it's worth risking JT?
Also worried about Cam as a captain option this week (Well not really he'd just back up and smash out another 70 wouldn't he?) and Gillett getting rested with short turnarounds.
It's always a bit of a lottery. The Broncos do tend to rest more players then other teams though I reckon. Could be due to the percentage of Broncs players, or could be due to the higher chance of them being a Friday night game.
The bigger risk, which is harder to counter, is player's getting early showers. So in the JT v Knights scenario, JT probably starts the game but doesn't necessarily play 80. Just as an example.
