Yep
Senior players often use the pre-season as a bit of "shaking out the cobwebs" phase of the season.
It's still important they play, but it's more about getting the 'legs turning over' as it's likely they will have to carry a fair bit of extra weight through the season.
Players like Simpson, Murphy, Ed Curnow shouldn't be judged on these games.
Give them a couple of 'real' games before we start making assessments.
