Given it is a weird year once again (with the mental challenges of lockdowns on players, relocation to QLD etc) when do we start to think about resting players?
If you think about it - we no longer are a shot at the top 4, and whether we come 5th or 8th becomes completely irrelevant (no home advantage, and the other teams around us are not much chop). Should we be willing to sacrifice a few comp points in order to freshen key players up prior to finals? Give Marty and Foz a week off perhaps (not Tommy.... he needs to win his Dally M first!).
Surely there is nothing to play for other than nailing combos and form for te next 3 weeks.... so why not get Ben T back in the team, KDL etc, and minimise injury risk prior to giving finals a red hot go.
Thoughts?
