If manly win today this becomes a nothing game. (Unless manly rack up a score and we get beat by a lot).

I think if manly win and we have a 30 + point buffer on f/a we rest as many players as we can with only a 6 day turn around imminent

Injured or carrying a few major niggles no issue with a rest, but no need to rest for the sake of it, we have played without cohesion all year that has got us where we are, we need to go out bully them and try find our attacking mojo. Our attack looks as flat and predictiable as the bulldogs.

exactly right. Wades out im assuming, maybe its worth giving Lewis a rest? Although it sounds like a rest wont help his injury anyway. We need Bird to have a run, but i have heard hes only a 50-50 chance at best of playing. We need to field our best possible side tomorrow, just to get the job done, go into the finals with heads high.

There are a few players who need a rest. Maloney looked spent last week, Fifita could barely walk the ball up, gals played every game but we need him at his fighting best. We had 5 players in origin this year plus an international trip to NZ and two QLD trips in recent weeks. The boys looked very tired against the roosters. They need a freashen up before the finals.

Yeah Maloney has played what, three games in a row? Why would he need a rest?

Amazed after our last month of footy we still have the second best defense in the comp (behind storm) 30 or more conceeded in titans manly raiders and broncos games.
Hopefully tomorrow we just see a complete game

Melbourne have been the only decent team this year. All the other teams seem to have a piston misfiring and a wobbly front wheel.

If he put in this kind of dedication to sharks over the last couple of years would have over taken ETS record.

Don't count him out. He seems like a bloke so driven by personal achievements that I wouldn't put it past him to beat ET

Bench prop, and I reckon he gets there. We lose a lot of direction when Fifita and Prior go off. I feel like an injection of Gal would lessen that drop off in momentum. Probably won't happen, but less minutes against a tired defence would only help his durability.

Good point. When everyone starts talking about how crap we've been, I kind feel like we've actually been the equal second best team this year. Equal with about 5 other teams. It's been an odd season.

I would be resting all the boys that know how to step up for a big game, so they don't need momentum going into finals. And it's not like we're going to start playing anymore consistently as a team because of one more game.

I'd rest Gal/Fifita/Lewis/Maloney/Wade and Bird.

Game day mofos,
Let's get it done roll on into next week. Was trying to work out the easiest path for us to get to the granny and come to the realisation that the way we are playing that it is highly unlikely, so now not bothered who we play cows Penrith manly drags, week 1 will be a big test I hope we overcome but the week 1 test will be a training run compared to week 2 or 3 if we are still alive. So let's all buckle up hold on like a rodeo ride might be over real qik and hurt or we may conquer the beast, if it all goes to jelly we can still watch the 2016 grand final over and over.
P.S... happy Father's Day especially those 1st time dads... hope you get spoilt.
