rumour on 2ue tonight that Barba & Inu will be rested .

Dogs trying to ensure Tigers don't make the 8..

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

Wouldn't be surprised if Inu and Barba are rested also...seems like Canberra is playing for so much more than us at the moment, Hasler will bring them back next week to ensure the MP. Smart move in a way, but risky also because its not a guaranteed win against the Roosters either.

[Raider_69]

they can rest the entire team if they like
the most important thing for the raiders tonight isnt beating a competition heavy weight at full strength, its getting the 2 points which ever way they come

I would rather you guys win tonight :lol:

They said on the radio that Ennis, Inu and Barba are out.

this is a joke if the bulldogs rest players. keep in mind that other teams futures are in jeopardy. if canterbury decide to hand the game to the raiders, it pretty much seals the fate of the titans and st george the url should investigate this, cause in all seriousness its not fair to the other clubs. yeah maybe you can all come out and say they haven't been good enough, but when they end up missing by 2 points or f/a then id argue you are preaching to the choir

 

[Walt Flanigan]

TBH Canberra would perform better if they were playing the full Bulldogs outfit. We are a mentally weak football team and will take the foot off the pedal if key players are rested. We seem to look for any excuse to be complacent (even if the team we are playing is on top of the table!).

sorry to interrupt, but Saints fate was seal some weeks back due to ineptitude

yeah probably but id still like to think that if we won our last two and the tigers and raiders lost there last two that we were a chance. yes we haven't played well but theres still two weeks to go

What does it matter? The top teams are so far ahead of the rest, all the teams around 8th are competing for is the honour of delaying Mad Monday by a week.

Exacry. We were gone after our annual implosion at Canberra Stadium imo. I reckon Canberra will get up tonight.. not sure why!

 

[Rhino_NQ]

would love the raiders to win, would help knock brisbane and tigers out of the 8. Looks like i'll be leaving my centrebet account alone for this one if they start toying with resting players

 

[Vic Mackey]

Dogs have done well enough to be in a position to rest whoever they want. They are perfectly entitled too.

spot on.

 

[Sleep]

Dogs haven't looked as good the last few weeks so a break would probably help a few of their players.

The minor premiership doesn't mean shit anyhow. Can anyone even remember who won the last three? Unless you win the premiership to go with it no one cares.

brisbane will make the 8 tigers wont. (or if by luck they do..they will limp out week one)

The 100k the club gets for it isn't to be sneezed at. (It's still 100k isn't it?)

I believe most clubs split that between the first graders for that year. Even if you only played 20 guys which is unlikely it's only $5K a piece. Nothing to write home about. Just a small bonus really.
