After Rd25, If we've already won the Minor Premeirship..

[Ray Stehr]

It would be terrible if a reserve player got chosen just to end GI's final campaign in Rd 26...

We'll flog souffs, it won't matter who plays.

[Yak]

Just quietly, we're pushing the bounds of the second tier cap already. Unless players are proven to be injured the NRL will not give anyone concessions to play reserve graders in round 26.

wests just got dispensation for two players this week for this week ends game.

[melon....]

The only way Easts fans should be thinking is this.

Round 26 is a MUST WIN GAME. WE MUST SMASH THE CHEATING GRUBS FROM REDFERN

Momentum and sending a message to all is KEY.

We must not rest anyone, rather insist they go out there and play it like a Grand Final. After all rnd 26 will be Souffs Second and Last GF this year the first being the Charity Shield.

Smash Souffs - Show the world the way they leak points doesnt win you shit.

Fark Souffs

Go Easts!

[tri-hard]

Its like Melon says, if we went in the Semis having lost both times to the Bunnies we would be giving them an almost insurmountable psychological advantage .

Schubert and the NRL made special mention that it was only allowed because neither team was able to make the finals. We will get no such quarter.

Robbo has spoken of the importance of continuity, stating that he wouldn't consider resting any 100% fit players.

If we have wrapped up the minor premiership I am sure there will be quite a few who aren't '100% fit'

[TricolorChook]

Yes, I agree about the NOT, 100% fit claim for the last Rd26 game.
And why wouldn't you rest at least SBW for instance. Save him for the big semifinals.

If we can beat Souffs without SBW, and then play them again in a later semifinal, with him back in the side.
Then I reckon they'd poo their pants!!.

Surely the most absurd ruling ever made by Ian Schubert. It's ok for the Tigers to effectively breach the cap, because both them and St George are out of finals contention? How the fark can they justify placing St George at a disadvantage on that basis? St George still want to win the game, for themselves, their fans, their sponsors etc etc. There are St George players playing for contracts next year. Same goes for the coach. 2 points are still 2 points. Doust has every right to be outraged. A ludicrous decision

Agreed.
This one man salary cap juggernaut rolls on.

Ridiculous.


Did someone mention Idi Amin?
Greatest man that's ever been?

It would be a bad move to rest players after r25 if we have the MP sewn up.
We have had a soft draw and need a tough game against souths to fine tune us for the semis.

[Guest]

And get slaughtered by Souffs???

The more experience playing alongside one another the better

either shut up and go back to your own forum or admit you are a souths supporter.

I agree.We have to get out there and smash souffs,hurt as many of them as we can,and set them up to fade out the back door of the semis as they usual do.
Fark them Easter bunnies...

Only because them and St Merge are out of finals contention.
