He saw it coming.But Wayne Bennett claims a distracted Brisbanes inevitable State of Origin period slump will soon be over.All the problems we have will be solved at the end of the rep season, said the veteran coach.And we are just about through the rep season.Bennett expects a more competitive Broncos showing against second-placed Melbourne at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night after welcoming back Andrew McCullough and Alex Glenn from injury.However, Bennett did not expect former ladder leaders Brisbane to be back to their best until after July 13s Origin III clash in Sydney.Six Broncos are again expected to run out for a Queensland side aiming for a fifth series whitewash against NSW in Origin III.Bennett said his side had not been the same since the Origin periods demands kicked in before round nines Cronulla clash.They have lost five of their last seven games in that period to slip to fifth spot on the NRL ladder.We are distracted, simple as that, Bennett said.I realised it would happen to us.They (Brisbanes rep players) have priorities sometimes in the wrong place.Cronulla was the first game and we havent been much better since then.McCulloughs return from a broken thumb was confirmed when he trained strongly on Thursday after missing Tuesdays session.Regular forward Glenn (shoulder) will also return but has been moved to left centre, handing Jaydn SuA a backrow start and relegating utility Kodi Nikorima to the bench at the expense of Travis Waddell.Utility back Jordan Kahu (pectoral) was close to returning but was given another week.He remains on the sidelines with fellow backs Jack Reed, Greg Eden and Tom Opacic.Halves Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford have come under scrutiny for failing to fire a depleted backline.But instead Bennett challenged his forward pack to lift.If the forwards are getting overrun in the middle, your halves are totally ineffective, he said.I have coached some great halves, none were greater than Allan Langer, and he had a lot of bad days when his forwards werent doing the job for him.My halves are no different.KEY STATS - BRONCOS V STORM* Melbourne have won nine of their last 10 games against Brisbane including five straight at Suncorp Stadium* Brisbane have won seven of their eight home games this season* Melbourne concede the fewest points (11.7 points per game), fewest linebreaks (2.1 per game) and the fewest tackles (18.4pg) in the league Toronto Blue Jays Shirts .

Its a natural desire for parents to support their childs dreams, no matter the cost. But experts say there are ways parents can make their kids participation in sports more positive and avoid sacrificing their own financial security.-ENCOURAGE MULTIPLE SPORTS: Parents are often told that a child with potential should participate in intense or year-round programs to build that skill. But studies show early specialization does more harm than good. It increases the risk of overuse in developing bodies, causes kids to burn out on sports and decreases overall athletic development, according to Aspen Institutes Project Play, an effort to make sports accessible to all.-COMMUNICATE REGULARY: Check in with kids about what they really want to do. Some crave a competitive environment and others dont want to be pushed into that pipeline, says Travis Dorsch, founding director of the Families in Sport Lab at Utah State University. Its often parents, not kids, that find and suggest these elite teams, he said. And children, attuned to underlying messages, often provide answers based on what the parents want to hear. He suggests checking with kids weekly, monthly and seasonally to make sure they are still having fun and engaged.-SUPPORT FREE PLAY: Forget practice and drills -- engaging in free or loosely structured play is important, says Tom Farrey of the Aspen Institute. Kid-led activities are important in making sports fun and building creativity. Need convincing? Farrey points out that free play waas important to athletes like Michael Jordan and Brazilian soccer stars who played pickup games in their neighborhoods.ddddddddddddMANAGE EXPECTATIONS: Odds are against a child going to the Olympics, going pro or even playing in college. Thats no reflection on the parents. Sociologist Jay Coakley says many parents have been conditioned to view their childs achievements -- at school, on the field or elsewhere -- as a measure of their worth as a parent. Parents should recognize what messages they are listening to internally when making decisions. He suggests providing children with an array of experiences and some autonomy to pursue and enjoy whatever their interests are.-DONT DISMISS ACADEMICS: Parents who really want their kid to get college paid for should get a biology tutor, not a sports coach, says Mark Hyman of George Washington University. Academics might be compromised for intense training, but school studies provide more opportunity for scholarships and are important to lifelong success.-REMEMBER FINANCIAL NEEDS: Parents need to pay the bills each month and have a nest egg when they retire. Its not bad to spend on sports or even elite teams, but athletic and financial experts say parents need to find what works for their lives. As much as parents are committed to their kids and their dreams, they should be committed to their own financial prospects. ' ' '
