After SOO 1 I wasnt worried about fifita but i thought he'd play a lot more after his last few rounds. Id still be resting gal, jimmy and fifita at different stages, but esspecially the first two.yeah same. That's why I didn't get all this talk about resting players before we even saw how many minutes our blokes played
My thought process is the rigors of 26 rounds usually test most players, especially the older ones. Chuck in the fact that the origin boys train over the bye periods and you'd have to imagine it is only tougher.
That said only those inside the team know the real answer. They are all experienced players so if they are fresh and say they feel good then you play them. However if they have a niggle or a generally beat then it is a no brainer to rest them and let them freshen up.
