Round 24 V Warriors

[GongPanther]

Do we rest certain players to rest up for the finals grind and for those with niggles?

 

[billypilgrimnz]

My opinion: yes

 

[Abacus]

Which players to rest might depend on whether Luai is back. Need some time for combinations. I think the week after you rest a few from the long trip up to Townsville.

 

[maple_69]

To’o for sure. Everyone else with a heavy load has had a week or two off lately. Maybe Yeo. Don’t mind starting Api off the bench for a few more weeks and easing his minutes.

Good question. I would say, why not? I would give Laui and JFH a game to blow out the cobwebs and rest Api, Edwards and Martin.

I would get Kikau to play at least one more game. He has been very ordinary the last few weeks and is always noticeably poor when he misses a game. His big body needs the miles in it to keep his fitness up.

I would consider resting May and Tago. This is their first full year of first grade and they have played tough minutes. A spell would do their bodies the world of good.

Leota has missed a few games this year, doesn't need a rest. Crichton had a spell off with his injury. Too has missed a few games and I think he needs the miles in his legs to get back to form.

I would rest Yeo so he can recharge his batteries. Even Gods need a rest from time to time......

Everybody else looks Ok, but obviously the trainers know who needs a spell.

 

[Fangs]

Too drunk to judge. For oncee I don't have the answer.

 

[Pomoz]

Oh, definitely rest Api.

They shouldn't risk Luai but run the NSW Cup side out this week

Hopgood at lock and Staines for To'o if you're resting players.

 

[Iamback]

Hopgood at lock and Staines for To'o if you're resting players.

Hopgood is going, Better off getting Smith game time
To'o needs to find form, Not sure resting him helps that

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Hopgood is going, Better off getting Smith game time

At this stage in the season, all that matters is which player is more likely to positively contribute to winning finals games. Doesn't matter who is going or staying next season. (I have no opinion on who is a better choice in that respect in this case though)

 

[Murraymob1]

Rest them all and pick a team from LU .i am in front row for me who else is in or you lot going to sit in the grandstand complaining about the bench lol

 

[Pomoz]

I’m at lock. More a Bradley Clyde type than a Yeo. I can run all day and night, but I can’t pass. Other than the talent, the looks, the physique, and the toughness, i am just like Clyde. Hard to tell us apart really….

Realistically how many players are we going to use in the 3 weeks? If we need to use Jennings than we don't win a finals game anyway. So better off getting a game under the belt incase we need guys in round 1

 

[Girds89]

Lol warriors.

Shaun johnson is a disgrace.

Id hook him after that shirt grab

Cup side has the bye next round which is the last round of the season, so we will finish 2nd. But for next weekend, do we roll out our strongest side as testament to our final game at Penrith Park, or play it safe and rest up players?

 

[soc123_au]

Our cup side would beat this rabble.
