Home Final and will we rest players against the Vermin?

[milanja]

resting players in any sport has always backfired.

Exhibit A- Cricket Australia rotation policy 2013.

Maybe in a sport that there is no physical contact, but in league where every player is holding some form of injury, nothing wrong with freshening up the players that require it.

Resting players to the possibly have the entire team rested in week two of the finals and play one match in 3 weeks heading in to a grand final qualifier is not particularly handy. We only have to win in week one of the finals for everybody to have a week off in the finals. I don't know what you are talking about regarding red bars.

If you go back to my opening post I said one or two (not anymore or a good percentage of the team) but if you read it I suggest that it would be unlikely L Mitchell would be playing. Therefore I said maybe one or two (probably should have rephrased it as one) and I asked for everyones opinion.

Thanks for your opinion Mr Wallet, I take your point, however, the coaching staff and the head coach will know if anyone is carrying a niggly injury and to lose someone for the rest of the season by aggravating a niggly injury is it a risk worth taking. E.g I suspect Pearce played with a niggle in the must win game against the Broncos after probably originally sustaning it in the Graham tackle on him and will miss 2-5 weeks depending on who you talk to. Further the game against the Vermin is pretty much a dead rubber as securing a home final was imperative. It would also give someone like Matagi a run in FG and you never know we might need him later on in the finals series so it would be good to get a game under his belt.

Someone also mentioned resting players has never worked in any sport LMAO. Exhibit B which is off the top of my head the Broncos in 2000 rested players in the final round or rounds, and so did a number of Storm teams (yeah they got two Premierships stripped but they rested up players who performed in the PF and GFs). I am sure there are others.

BTW I noticed you now have got 2 red bars....someone likes you...

I cant see the Storm getting within 20 points of the Bronco's.

[Darkone]

by my reckoning Storm could play Broncos again in Preliminary final

[Johnny.]

If I were coach, I would rest Maloney and Sheck. Run Elliot at the back and Maubs at 5/8th.

Interesting that the Sportsbet odds have the Roosters drifting - still favourites, but the Vermin were paying over $3.00 earlier tonight.

I say we go for the throat and in doing so, control the games tempo.

[Salvatori Grubber]

That will teach me to like your posts Grubman lol.

What happens to the red bars if someone later unlikes them. Do they disappear?

If a forum member gets red bars in the forest and no one sees them, do the red bars actually exist?

[roorooman]

Sheck to be rested and lattrell Mitchell to make debut - you heard it first here

[Roosterfarian]

Might want to read my post from yesterday mun...

But not sure about the Latrell bit.

That would tend to indicate Inglis is playing.

This is now a dead rubber for both teams, isn't it? The Vermin would be mad to rush Inglis back.

1. They are mad.

2. They need to get some momentum going.

[The Brain]

Hey some one sent me a breaking news clip saying Greg Inglis has quit and signed with Japan Rugby? ...just now is it a fake? cant see shit on news feeds

[Tommy Smith]

It's a fake. Would be all over FoxSports News if it were true.
