[Valheru]

Not sure what team either side will name here.

For us we have JWH, Manu and Pauga certainly out.

Radley exits concussion protocols on Wednesday and Keary left origin camp with an injury.

In regards to origin players I could see Collins and crighton both being rested.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Storm to win.

Roosters just can’t beat top 4 teams.

 

[This Year?]

I will be jealous of whoever wins. I wish my team had the quality that both these teams have.

 

[Fangs]

Might be a snoozefest this one. Hope not as its a finals preview.

Both coaches will want a win but they also want to keep their powder dry for the finals. Just turn off your TVs until 7.30pm Saturday this week so you don't have to endure the wankfest over the Bellamy/Robinson rivalry.

Storm down Munster and Coates, almost certainly Grant as well (gave him 2 weeks off so he'd be fit for Origin , can't see him being risked 3 days after). Nelson seriously unlikely.

So yes, both sides down key players, and I don't think it will be representative of finals sides.

Writing this one off. Shame to be playing such a big contest 3 days after Origin.

I don't necessarily think they will be rested, more likely started from the bench. The Roosters have another bye to come, in Round 23, that combined with the positioning on the ladder they can't afford to rest players at this stage unless they have to.
