Who gets rested & when

[Defer to the coifed]

So we will be resting players after origin 3 , which leads into the Titans at Titans match. Surely all 5 wont get rested at once.

Geeze Im not sure we are going to be in a position to rest anyone - we do get the bye that will probably be it

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Flanno saying titans

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Bird won't need to be rested....done nothing for months

 

[bluefox1968]

Nothing to do, so:

1. Holmes*
2. Feki
3. Leutele
4. Bird*
5. Lee (cos' he's more likely to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING than Beale)
6. Maloney (we can't win without him)
7. Townsend
8. Prior
9. Brown
10. Latimore #
11. Lewis
12. Bukuya
13. Gallen (c)

14. Capewell
15. Paulo
16. Tagataese #
17. Heighno

# Fifita and Graham get rested...
* Backs shouldn't need a rest...

Have I missed anyone?

Maloney needs to be rested. Sucks at the moment.

Bird should play.
Fifita a rest.
Graham a rest, but I reckon he is coping the best of them all.
Holmes. Whatever. He isn't going to do anything different .

 

[Weaponhead]

Bird can take Fifita spot. Will get plenty of ball and will have to work

 

[YTSharks]

I'd say Fifita (to prolong his explosiveness) and Maloney (wrong side of 30) should be the two we rest.
Both in different games

 

[Card Shark]

Rest all 5 as the replacements are likely to step up anyway.

 

[fizman]

Forwards - Rest
Backs - Lazy show ponies that take the glory for the hard work of the Forwards - No Rest

I'd wait for the Warriors game to rest Maloney, that way we play the Friday night v Rabbitohs then you can even give him the whole week off and back to training after they get from NZ. Might be a good game to give Graham a rest as well.

Give Holmes and Fifita the game off v Titans, Bird the Rabbitohs game.

Agree with this, apart from Bird - might as well run him into the ground this year. He's only a bit part player in the Origin games and plays out wide for us, so he shouldn't burn out, and who cares if it has longer term impact haha

The next player found with a bag of white stuff I suppose.... oh you said rested. Go on

I'd take Beale over Lee any day of the week and twice on Sundays!

 

[Tiger Shark]

I don't recall us really resting players last year unless they have niggles etc,and I thought we took the rest them during the week approach instead ?

In saying that I'm not against resting them but not till we have that Top 4 locked in.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

The logical thing is to see how everyone pulls up after Origin 3.

If they're busted you rest them.

 

[jc155776]

Dont rest anyone.

Except Lewis. He must be f**ked with all those intercept tries.

 

[tom of poland]

I'm with the Slayer on this, assess the Origin Players next Thursday morning, and assess all players thereafter, if they're busted and/or buggered, rest them, otherwise they should play.

 

[Inferno]

I reckon Flanno regrets not resting Maloney against Manly.

I'd be surprised if Maloney didn't get a rest at some stage.

 

[Arnold]

Everyone has this week off training which is clever. Origin boys will need a rest too soon.
