Penrith v Newcastle
Could be interesting to see how many if any of the origin boys back up.i would still be confident the team that played on the weekend could handle the knights

I'd run with last weeks team for this one. Maybe Critta back in if he warms the pine for 70 minutes on Wednesday night.

Going up for this. The only NSW venue I haven't been to so pretty excited.

My poor Knights supporting brother in law is less than enthusiastic.

Martin too may only get limited minutes

The starting Origin guys shouldn't back up.

Put Critter and Martin in the squad though

Run out the same team again. Keep everyone as fresh as possible we'll be top 2 regardless and might be able to avoid everyone playing with serious injuries through the finals again.

I'll only be interested if Chris Smith is playing.

He has been very unlucky so far in his two starts. He looked pretty good both times but has been ruled out in the first half once cause of the elbow and then on friday he got a bad cut apparently.

I would be happy to rest nathan, luai, biz and yeo but wait and see how much Martin and critter actually play. If critter gets 10 minutes off the bench no reason he cant back up.

Yeah you don't need to rest players who essentially don't play. I just can't imagine NSW legitimately wasting Crichton at least. Wighton to centre has to be a piss take surely.

Play the top 17 v Warriors though. Need to make sure Combinations are kept.

whoever plays 80 on Wednesday night should not play Sunday - we have the depth to perform - reward those NSW cup guys, we were cooked end of last year - we dont go that far this year if we have a similar run in September. Rest our guys as much as we can while the going is good

Totally agree. Even if someone doesn't play a lot of minutes. I wouldn't be looking forward to a bus ride to Newcastle after Origin.

No reason to risk anything at the moment when we’re this far ahead of everyone else. In saying that I think Martin is morals for Sunday.
