Not sure why everyone is going on about ''combinations'', its not like one game is going to destroy a yrs worth of hard work should he decide to rest a couple of players for one game. They're professional athletes, not under 8's

At this stage of the season you don't want to go messing about with combinations.

Has anyone mentioned this to Sheens? :laughing:

It's funny,but it's true,Sheens does it all year every year,the good coaches on the other hand.

Melbourne rested players in round 26 last year, got a week off in week 1 of the semis and were flat in the prelim. I'm not saying doing this will cost the Dogs a title, but resting players is always a risk. Even if they take 10 minutes to get it all together after a lay off, against a team like Manly or Melbourne that might be enough to cost them a finals game.

Canberra are ordinary. Dogs will have to be really off their game to lose this one.

I agree. The raiders were ordinary vs the crooks and lucky to win. We beat them by 40 at last start.
 
There is only 19 going down there, they cant rest too many, if they rest Tolman and play Tapou they prob get stronger in alot of ways, I hope the Doggies put them to the sword
 
Why are we so worried we will win this week and Benji Marshall said last night Robbie Farah should be back next week on footy show and i know will beat storm dont forget its going to be for Gareth Ellis. And i hope dogs choke in the finals which i think they will.
 
Not a smart move by Hasler, I would have rested either Inu, Barba or Reynolds as they are their 3 key players to be honest Ennis is no loss to them. I hope the dogs can get a win today though.
