Warriors game

[happy_tiger]

Would Forum members be prepared to rest a few players for this game

I was thinking maybe Aloiai ,Grant and even Lucy

Might pay off in the long run

We cannot afford to lose one game, it is not worth the risk.

If it's 48-0 at half time - give them the second half off.

It is a shortened season - why do players need a rest?

18 rounds straight no byes and then semis ...that's why ...this season will probably be harder than any season they have played previously

I’d like to think we aren’t that arrogant

 

[happy_tiger]

Just remember the hardest thing about a football season is a pre season ....and they've done 2 as well

yep

it would be the same if Roosters rested Teddy, Keary and JWH against us

Lets just hope the 3 players I mentioned aren't injured when we play the Roosters

They can get injured getting out of the shower. Should we stop them from showering?

Looking at the ladder, 7-10 are all on equal points, but our superior for and against is whats keeping us ahead of the pack at this stage.We shd go in all guns blazing coz its so important at the pointy end of the year.

No point really. If they’re training and doing their recovery right they’ll be fine to keep playing. Gotta field our best team whenever possible.

Or we could live in the real world and acknowledge that Grant is already dealing with a wrist / hand injury and Aloiai has had to almost carry us some weeks with Packer and Twal unavailable

We have a few players that could ably fill in for Grant for a week (Walters and Reynolds ) and two weeks on the bench should hopefully have sent a message to Brooks

Forwards wise we will be back to full strength bar Musgrave and Twal will have a game under his belt

Maybe if we start thinking like a big club we might start resembling a big club

MADGE will select his team on form and form only as he has over the last few weeks and I think the best is yet to come from WT'S.

Teams rest players when they are certain of making the finals.

We have no reason to have that kind of confidence.

Stupidest idea you have ever posted and that takes something because the list is long..

We play Parramatta this week your tip for the premiership just concentrate on that..

From our last 6 games who would you rest anyone against

Rd 15 Roosters
Rd 16 Panthers
Rd 17 Eagles
Rd 18 Rabbits
Rd 19 Storm
Rd 20 Eels

My thoughts are being proactive ..rest the blokes before that run home so they are physically and mentally ready

 

[Speed2burn]

Maybe give them a couple days off training here and there but definitely not games. Would be crazy for a club like ours to be complacent

Madge has to think about the long and short game

The comments about the shortened season forget players have done 2 pre season and have never played 18 games straight

We don't find a way to rest Harry Grant (1st full season , Aloiai hasn't played a full season without injury or Lucy 1st season playing 80 minutes a game ) and you really run the risk of these blokes getting injured later on when you continual football takes it's toll

So then that questions the logic ...would you rather face the Warriors without the 3 mentioned or even two mentioned and rest one for another game ...or face the last rounds when we need them ready to go without them 100 %

F/A - best team on the park every week.

 

[happy_tiger]

If we can't beat the Warriors without Grant and either Aloiai or Lucy we don't deserve the Top 8

The mentality shown in some of these comments shows why this club has always been small fry and will be for a while yet

I don't think we have the luxury of resting players, aside from giving someone like Grant or Benji an early mark if we're up by 30.
