I wouldn’t imagine a loss, even a deliberate one would be good for confidence going into finals. I think we play every game like it’s our last but I guess you’d rest a guy if I had a few niggles.

Agree, just rest the players that need a break to sort out injury. Tim Mannah might get a run!!
You’d like to think so but BA doesn’t seem to be much of a romantic like that. He left a cult hero, Fui Fui in the Reserves when we had nothing to play for. So don’t like Timmy’s chances. A sad end to a very good career perhaps

Mannah is definitely retiring at the end of the year? The game against Manly will be a farewell to Tim Mannah. A presentation after the game.
"The subjectiveness hasn't changed Snotties perceptions of their abilities as players are very different to mine. One was picked to play Origin and for Australia (I believed he played the back end injured) and belies the end of season performances…"
"Reality bites hard. No one knows more about losing stars than the Panthers. You wouldn't describe Matt Cameron as a useless dope, because he couldn't convince this galaxy of stars to stay or because he follows Ivan Cleary's footy strategies.

"Hypothetical. Our wives or husbands tell us, "I want to explore a few sugar daddies over the next few years, or indefinitely". Which is strength of character: begging them to stay, hypnosis or drawing a line in the sand, letting them go?

"I loved watching him play sometimes Mace and he should be acknowledged for what he did on the field but he makes it hard for most people to put him on a pedestal.
No club ties, no opportunities but we should not zero him out"

Rest players & get ready for the following Sunday!
Sharks can still lap us if they win both and we lose both. That would have us in 7th and no home final. We need Raiders to close that door for us.
Sorry missread your title. Yes In that case last round doesn’t carry any meaning
Would Parra then rest a few players and most likely lose the game? Hypothetical until Raiders win on Sunday.
