Please, please rest Roby tomorrow : Sat Aug 20, 2011 10:24 pm  

Seriously, whats the point? With Warrington's result in France today sowing up second for them and the Giants defeat last night there really is no point subjecting him to another match.

Get him rested.

This is the kind of game Millward would have rested 14 or so players for. We used to win trophies in those days too.

Let's not be silly. He'll get a rest while the CC Cup final is on. That's the only rest he needs.

We have yet to secure third spot and it's psychologically important to do that AND go into the play offs with wins behind us; preferably wins as a result of good performances.

Roby will be key tomorrow. We need him and he should play.

Resting one man isn't being silly. He has been battered physically this season. The more rest at this time of year the better.

It is silly, so there!

He gets a rest next weekend. That's all the rest he needs. We need to keep winning now.

Why? One of Wigan and Warrington won't be on a great run going into the playoffs as they play in 2 weeks and both of those are going to be in the GF.

I'd rather rest players this week, then we can go full pelt into the last two games and hopefully create some momentum when we play either Wigan/Warrington.

It's all about timing your run with the play-offs.

How many "minutes on the field" is he averaging these days?

Re: Please, please rest Roby tomorrow : Sun Aug 21, 2011 8:51 am  

Roby is playing.

i never agree with saddened. but on this occasion i`ll make an exception. roby has played lots this year he is about as fit as he can be. it was only last week we where concerned as he was playing with an injury. he maybe set to play but no point flogging him. forty mins should be plenty to keep his fitness level. any thing else is just risking further damage. iwould expect some element of rotation of players in the next two games. giving time for those who need it. and then a full side out for the last game. with players like tp playing to get back some game time.
