Well lets say we rest him....

and we lose.....

and brisbane and wests win....(and st george have the bye)

...ultimately we could end up looking at a 3rd or 4th finish if st george and wests finish the season off well (and maybe brisbane beat us last game)


whereas a win on sunday would at least give us some control over whether we finish top 2.

can we win without hindy on sunday - against canberra, a real bogey team for us?

The answer has to be yes.

If we are fair dinkum about winning the comp, then we simply must.

You can't underestimate the calibre of players missing this game. For this reason I really feel we will struggle. With the team likely to play it wouldn't be a huge upset if we don't win. Its being realistic. Any team without 6-7 players (especially likes of Hindy , Morro & Tahu) would struggle.

Fair point. But we have talked about our depth all season.

Time for it to be put to good use. The calibre of player still in the team should be enough. And the Raiders are walking wounded. Ripe for a smackin if we're on song.

Parra will win by at least 13+ without Hindy. Give him the week off to be 100% ready for the donkeys.

Yep, no use talking about our depth if we're gonna cry because we've got to use it for a week or two.

We'll be right. But just to make sure......go manly

Yep, but the blokes coming in could have been on those lists if they had played all season :D

We'll be right.

Ben Smith has been better than Tahu over this year, Tahu really only showed his class just before he got injured.

We should get away with it, the kids want to show they can play FG footy and will go out there and play like it's the grand final. They'll probably take alot of confidence out of the fact that Brian was willing to play alot of FG players in the reggies in favour of them too.

And we have Luke Burt too, so we will win!
