A Loss Tonight Is Unacceptable

In my opinion tonight's match is as big as any this season and anything less than a win with a Top 4 spot on the line is less than acceptable.

Everyone knows that finishing Top 4 greatly improves your chances of winning the Premiership so why are we resting players???

Is it because Brad doesn't want to appear as a failure if the side drops out in straight sets again?

We shouldn't be resting as many players as we are tonight, we are just throwing in the towel for the season in my opinion.

The players that play in low impact positions should be playing.

  • No chance manly are losing to cowboys so that means best we can finish is 5th and who gives a fuck about 5th

  • I don't think so

  • its 250-1 tthat we will finish top 4 - pretty much the same odds as you starting a commonsense blog., actually the odds of that are much greater.

  • Scott, can you identify which positions out of the 13 run-on positions and 4 bench positions are "low impact"? Like all opinions, everyone is entitled to them, but opionions are not measured by anyone's sense of entitlement, only by whether the opinion is reasonable and credible.

    BA gave a thoughtful persepctive on resting his players, noting 6 were out anyway due to injury or suspension, that it was important for forward-planning and injury-cover to get a complete game into others (Kaufusi, Cartwright, Hipgrave, Stone, and that others (like Papali'i and Niukore) deserved a rest and recharge.

    I don't know why some poeple delight in blogs that are thinly disguised trolling exercises. To each their own I guess.
