A nothing team for a nothing game. Proves nothing.
Going to get flogged as expected but keen to see how Hayze Perham goes.
Gawd, hope Opacic is only there for experience and give Penisini a break.
Hmmmm Lussick, hope he only plays a short stint..We definitely need him for finals
Development players I would say
Loiziou and russel are development players. Rodwell is from our reserve grade side. They are allowed to play from rd 11 onwards (I think from memory).
Samuel Loziou, & Sean Russell are both listed as Development players, Likewise Roach is still a development player and one other in the eels list.
Not all top 30 players went up to qld
Rankin stayed behind Greig and Roache didn't go up.
Players like Rodwell etc.. took their place and a 1st grade game at the end of the year is reward for coming.
Roache has been injured pretty much his full season, IIRC he came on in one game & was finished after the first tackle.
Penisini isn't being rested just making sure he won't be injured. Penisini will be starting first week of finals 100%. I wish Lussick wasn't playing, I would of played will Smith at 9, Perham at 6 and Russell at fullback or even Jordan Rankin at 6 and either Perham or Russel at fullback, then could of gone with another forward like David Hollis on the bench. Just hopefully we get through unscathed especially to one of our first 17 left
By that logic then rest Fergo and Cartwright. They just as if not more important.
I wish we could, with russel on the bench I wouldn't be surprised if Fergo only plays 40 mins, I don't think Carty will play big minutes either. Plus one of the starting props won't play big minutes.
