Quote Gotcha="Gotcha"Not sure that is quite right. There is a difference to resting and what I personally feel here. If Sinfield was playing I wouldn't have no such worry with resting Peacock and Ablet, but he isn't. Can't understand why if you are missing your left centre injured, you would create more of change by resting the winger also. Then when in line with resting your right centre also, it all seems to much.
It isn't the resting that is the issue, it's the areas and the lack of leaders left.
Come through it, great result, and the coach can take the credit for winning whilst ensuring a fully fit squad week after.
Me personally, have I have always said, would rather win this week than the week after though.'"
I feel similar. Its not that I disagree with resting people, its a good thing, especially people with niggles and against a poor team with a semi lined up.
However, I agree that taking 3 of your backline adds massive disruption.
Added to that the absence of 5 go to people in Sinfield, Watkins, Hall, Peacock and Ablett and it seems very risky. I hope the deputies will prove themselves able. If not, I don't mind really, as the league ladder is largely irrelevant on who wins the GF. I also hope that the week off does enough good for us to beat Wire next week, in what is our biggest game of the season.
