With Brisbane set to switch their starting halves pairing once again this week, the club has now changed its starting halves from the previous game 18 times in 51 matches since the start of 2019.
From an era of relative stability in Wayne Bennett s final season at the club in 2018, when Anthony Milford and Kodi Nikorima started all bar one game together, there has been a constant reshuffling of the deck chairs under Anthony Seibold, Peter Gentle and Kevin Walters.
An NRL.com Stats analysis shows those 51 team lists have included 11 different starting halves pairings, with the most used being Anthony Milford and Brodie Croft (13 total games) with a longest unbroken streak of any pairing coming between Milford and Croft in the first 10 games of 2020.

Here’s a quick rundown on some of the stuff supporters have had to deal with since Griffin was appointed in September last year.
Josh Kerr is sick of the empty words from St George Illawarra and wants the team s actions to do the talking in 2021.
After disappointing finishes of 12th and 15th over the past two seasons, Kerr says it s time to put up or shut up. How many years, honestly, have you seen the Dragons say, We ve got all these Origin players, how great we are , and we can t even make the [top] eight? the prop said after training on Tuesday. That s the sort of thing I want to change. We need to actually start doing it instead of just talking about how good we can be.
