Apparently Latrell should have copped only a fine 'cause we need all our stars at the pointy end of the season (as per Mark 'Spud' Carroll).
He's not a star if he's elbowing blokes in the back of the head

Schuster should be a minor detail to sort out or get rid of but some idiot paid him a fortune.

If the Broncos get knocked over by Canberra this week, can see Penrith resting plenty for the Cows game.

Broncos play Thursday night in the last round, Panthers Saturday night, so even if the Broncos beat Canberra, if they lose to Melbourne they'll give Penrith the chance to rest a few.
Have you seen Raiders play last few weeks? Their F/A is atrocious, they aren't beating Broncos. Last round like every other round teams are named on Tuesday. Panthers cannot make wholesale changes after the result of Broncos v Storm.

I do not see Panthers resting players last round. They like every other team have had 3 byes, Cleary has spent a bit of time injured so doesn't need a rest. Lui returning from suspension, So who do you rest? It ain't going to be a back and at best maybe 1 forward. They will get their rest 2nd week of finals. The way I see it, it's all guns blazing from here on in.

The other possibility is Roosters lose to Tigers (ain't happening) then beat Souths and Cows win this week then lose to Panthers. This leaves Souths, Cows and Roosters all on 30pts with best F/A to make 8th spot.

Yeah agree. They might rest JFH and Martin. Not much else.

Gold from Cam.

But both would understand that Bennett treated superstars differently because they played like superstars. Surely, they could agree that Mitchell’s recent actions and his long spells out with injuries mean he is currently far removed from that constellation.

His teammates seem to think this. In a recent video session, Mitchell snapped at Murray for not passing him the ball when he wanted it.

“When I call for it, give it to me,” Mitchell said, according to those in the room.

To which Murray replied: “Most of the time, you’re not there.”

That's South's premiership window definitely closed.
