I love the idea of resting blokes against the Roosters. Might throw them a bit
They're probably thinking of doing the same
I think you could rest Woods, Talakai, BHU and Toby without breaking any combinations. They're all a bit battered, and a game out against tough competition might not hurt. Fifita might be up for a few more minutes this week, and I'm still keen to see our big Hunt get a start and see what he can do with it. Williams looks ready to get some bigger minutes under his belt. Duges kind of plays the same fresh or battered, but you could put Talakai in at centre, which would still be reduced work for him and a break from the middle. I reckon Kennedy needs a break, but don't see any other options at the back... Nene? Though we still need our spine together to gel better.
Katoa/Ronnie might need a break after the Warriors game. Could be a good chance to see where Nene is at... but I still think them spending time on with SJ and Tracey/Trindall is more valuable if they're fit.
