Should we rest players this week?

Teams often rest players in the last weekHowever, this could cause a delay getting back up to speed - like having a byeIf we have second tier cap space, why not give some players with a few niggles a rest and give the young guns a taste of first grade this week. It will be a difficult game to win anyway so we are not risking a likely win

  • Not a chance. We need to keep winning to give ourselves a chance for a decent run into the semifinals.
  • No, every game is a semi from here first to try and grab a top 4 spot and then the finals proper.
  • The Eels can't afford to rest any players! The Storm can and are probably the only team that can afford it given their position!
  • our current spine has had about 3 games with all of them fit, they need to build on their combinations

  • Wasn't this just discussed in the other blog?
  • Let's just start another blog for the sake of it..
  • Hell no, we have to give ourselves every chance at a top 4 spot!

  • Not a chance. We're equal fourth, now is not the time to be resting players. Most guys will be carrying niggles and the like. If we were four points clear in the top four then yeh we'd probably be resting players but only Melbourne have opted to rest players and that's because they've won the minor premiership 3 weeks from the end of the season.

  • I reckon we should just give the whole team the weekend off and not fly to Brisbane . It'd be a trifecta ,

    1- The players get a rest

    2 - it'd be funny to see Brisbane turn up to the ground and we don't show

    2- the players get to show that evil NRL what happens when the players don't get a few million more .
    • Sounds like a good idea to me

      Reckon we would still get penalised if Brisbane drops the ball

"Yea he is mainly a 5/8, If Lorenzo for some reason fails, Risati is the next option. He is a bigger body than Lorenzo with a great running and passing game. He turns 18 next year so will be in SG Ball alongside Fletcher.
Long term, I belive we can…"

"He is special mate!
5/8, Fullback. Plays Wallabies and Waratahs aswell, so hopefully he stays the course for league and parra."

"EA, do you have any thoughts on Risati? Heard big raps on him. The way people talk about him, he could be a long-term six solution, alongside Fletcher at seven. Who knows. We're talking years down the track, but just curious."
