Has Nella earned a spell this week?

Taniela Paseka… TP… Teepee… Tent…

Never got the tent thing until now.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Nella is in career best form.

So why we should give him a spell this week?

1. because we can this week!

AOA back refreshed and ready to dominate. Lodge looked great for a first run, but he needs the match fitness more. Brown back fresh and ready to go and will want to personally destroy Brad Arthurs men. Bull needs a run more, his speed around the ruck changed the game and he ultimately won us that match with his try. Reward it with more minutes.

And for good measure even Woodsy showed at Prop for short stints he can hold his own, and do enough not to be out of place to give a mate a rest even if one of above is out.

2. That kind of depth is wasted if you don't use it.

3. Nella we need him fresh and firing for the 4 that follow. Raiders, Dolphins, Broncos, Storm.

4. He could have lot of footy coming up, including Blues jersey yet.

I agree with your thinking that players can be rested though, maybe less minutes if they can get out to a decent lead and have teams put away.

I think Tent should play origin this year, off the bench he could turn the game with his running game, defensively he doesn’t miss many tackles, hits and sticks.

No

Yep, I think good management of rotation is the way to go. Unless someone is carrying an injury and we have a full compliment of forwards to choose from. I could see an argument for "resting" a player.

 

[Ned]

No, this is a very important game, need top team out there.

 

[The Admiral]

I’m so pleased someone asked this question. Why would you rest a guy who is in amazing form?

 

[Under the Sticks]

We need to up our “for” and lower our “against” and the sqeels in their current form are just the team to help us with that especially if Queen Gutho does not feature in Team List Tuesday.

Taniela

Oh...Tent---LOL

All Nella Needs is deep tissue therapy

Deep tissue therapy involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles

This therapist should get him up for the game against the Eels

 

[Not Paul Kent]

I think that taking the eels for granted and even thinking about not playing our best side is severely misguided.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Not a chance in hell he gets a rest.
We are so much a better side when he is on the field it is not even debatable.
He is playing longer minutes in the first stint and it is noticeable when he is off.
I think we need Sipley on the bench,I know he is available and not selected,but Waddell and Bullemor are solid at best and Brown's enthusiasm is great,but we need another alpha prop to be there when he goes off.

I think he has done enough for a spot on the bench for NSW..

Yeah on form he should be picked but I don't think he will be unfortunately.

NSW selectors have a knack for making bone headed decisions.

I have him over Barnett and the Saifiti brothers..

 

[double hoops]

NSW are mad if they don't pick him. Having his best year by a long way.

Have a spell? This is not Hybrid working from home so you can touch type whilst not catching the train. Nathan Brown will be on the door at kicks nightclub tomorrow on his day off. Bye round this week so they can have a rest.

I have to give Seibold a wrap,Des had him starting one week,off the bench the next,in Reggie's the next(and no,it was not based on performance).
Since Seibold started,he put the number 8 on his back and never wavered and we and Manly have reaped the benefits from a coach not being wishy washy.......
