We have to share them out somewhat. The NRL will scrutinise each team selection.

We have not a full strength team all year so we are somewhat used to missing 3 or 4 players. Having said that we can't afford a single injury or one more suspension during the next month.

Personally I don't see us making the 8 but strange things happen.

So again the NRL will makeup the rules as they go along.
If the NRL haven’t specified that say “no more than 5 players can be suspended for a game” then we should be able to select any team we prefer.

How come Melb we’re allowed to rest more than 5 before the finals last year against us
100%!! From memory they had about 10 players out. No problem Melb!! Saints, we will suspend your players but you must keep a competitive team, so essentially we will f**k you over between 2-4 weeks.

Looking back 12 players rested for the game:
JAC
Vunivalu
Lee
Olam
Munster
Hughes
Smith
Bromwich brothers
Fa’asuamaleaui
Kaufusi
NAS.

Manly were off tonight.
If they had won tonight they might have rested dce and turbo .Still might.
Just goes to show if you can control the ball you have a chance.
The raiders did after 20 minutes and made the bigger manly pack work hard and the big pack tired.
Manly fb ran for the most metres as the forwards had no energy after tackling.
Manly defence will give teams chances to score their defence is nowhere near as solid as the top 4 teams.
Jason Saab was back to his best tonight.
Turbo and dce make him look good
Anything is possible next week depending I suppose on how many we have to suspend.
Realistically not many if any will give us much hope.
First glimpse will be at team list Tuesday.
We will all be waiting for that.
