This is probably the stupidest post Origin fixture you will ever see.

 

[Timmah]

Why, because you support Queensland? :lol:

Both teams decide to rest their players and what do you get? A pretty shitty spectacle.

Ashton Sims as acting Captain...I mean fair dinkem, people pay good money to turn up and see that rot.

 

[Canard]

The Cowboys have not traditionally rested players post Origin.

That's more of a Griffin idiosyncracy.

Most of the players involved in this situation are pushing retirement age, and the Storm big three in particular have been mostly struggling this year so far. Chances are they'll be rested.

:lol: So your statement's based on a complete assumption.

In previous seasons with plenty of headway on the ladder I might have seen your point RE: Storm. Neither side can afford to rest players.

 

[jamaman]

seems they are having a good holiday on the Gold Coast this week
not as though the Storm are playing too far away

I would guess barring injury that none of the Cowboys players will be rested, can't speak for the Storm.

Only really the Bronco's have ever rested people post Origin to be honest.

 

[jamaman]

Queensland players won't get too battered after the first 20min on Wed

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

Cowboys by 6 hopefully. Expect a rebound from that 'performance' against the Raiders. Wash away all the good momentum built the past three weeks.

 

[Ianc]

Going by where we are on the ladder, we can't afford to rest anyone. I don't expect the boys will want to rest anyway.

 

[BranVan3000]

Cripple fight

 

[matrightyeh]

storm coming into form

 

[Evenflow]

Cripple fight

LOL@$ouff$: 14 - Melbourne Storm 27

 

[kia ora storm]

Storm by 8...

 

[BunniesMan]

None of the big 3 will be playing in this. Cows got dis.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Put the house on the Cows if JT backs up. He will be filthy about that performance in Origin and will be smelling blood with Cronk out and Smith injured.

 

[Timmah]

Cronk definitely gone, Smith unlikely and Slater who knows.

Hard to see Melbourne getting up here, especially if all four Cowbs are backing up. They'll be hungry after the Raiders loss too.

 

[kia ora storm]

Cowboys by 20...we don't even have a starting side after last night.
