Brisbane Broncos prop Ben Hannant says team must tough out games for the full 80 minutes Ben Hannant says the Broncos can't afford to mope about their loss to Manly. BRONCOS prop Ben Hannant believes Brisbane must learn to tough out an entire 80 minutes if they are to move on from their opening round loss to Manly. Hannant said it was important the Broncos did not "bitch and moan" about the 22-14 loss. Instead they must focus on Friday's tricky trip to Wollongong to face St George Illawarra. "When it got tough out there we got caught short," Hannant said. That is something we will just address. We have the players there to do the job, it's just that was the first proper round game and you can't afford to play for 60 minutes, you have to play for 80. (Manly) are a good quality team. They have won premierships in the last couple of years and are always in the finals. I don't think we can beat ourselves up too much after round 1. Yeah it's disappointing because we had the game and we let it slip. They out-enthused us in the second half there and the frustrating thing is we all contributed to that so it's a lot we can get out of it. We can't bitch and moan and whinge about it, there's another week next week so there's some good stuff in there, but there's a lot of stuff we can improve on. We can't beat ourselves up too much, there is a long way to go to the season and it's only round one. While skipper Sam Thaiday hoped coach Anthony Griffin would show faith in the same 17 players to redeem themselves against the Dragons, there is certainly scope to shake up the starting side. Hannant was the biggest loser in the fierce off-season battle among the forwards, jettisoned to the bench with Thaiday moving into the front row to accommodate a starting second row position for young gun Matt Gillett. An experienced prop with six Tests and 12 Origins to his name, Hannant is desperately keen to cement the starting front row position. But he also understands the forward rotation system Griffin is trying to implement and is willing to work hard to reclaim his spot in the run on team. "Yeah obviously (I'd like to start), but that is to talk about another day, I think," he said. I went out there and ran as hard as I could. I had a fantastic off-season and it's just the role (Griffin) wants me in at the moment.
