we dont want to rest anyone now - the chance was against Hull KR, and Simmons didnt take it.

We want to go into this game at full strength, and get some good form together going into the playoffs.

Re: Team v's Quins on Saturday : Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:58 pm  

That team would give us no coherence whatsoever going into the play-offs, never underestimate momentum.

1. Paul Wellens
2. Tommy Makinson
3. Michael Shenton
4. Franics Meli
5. Jamie Foster

6. Gary Wheeler
7. Kyle Eastmond

8. LMS
9. James Roby
10. Paul Clough
11. Scott Moore
12. Jon Wilkin
13. Chris Flannery

14. Carl Forster
15. Leon Pryce
16. Matty Ashurst
17. James Graham (Use him if we need him)

Don't forget they also had a week off last week. Personally I wouldn't rest anybody. If people were carrying genuine knocks then give them a game off but other than that we should be at full strength. But that would be my team if we HAVE to rest players.

Balls to that. Millward never worried about that and he won us trophies.

1-17 should be under 20 or over 35. I hear they have registered Tommy Hodgkinson and two lads from the Under 18s to play. Seriously.

The time for resting players has passed.
Our timeing In attack Is still out we need to get it sorted. Gaskell on form would be in ahead of Pryce but we know what he Is capable of.

Some people can get away with "seriously". Saddened isn't one of them!

No point risking players in a meaningless match. imagine if Roby got injured and was out of the play offs.

You can look at it two ways:

1). Give the players time off and go into thje Play Offs rested.
2). Go full tilt with some momentum

I'm personally thinking option two is our better option, especially when alot of the team have missed large chunks of the season. There's only Roby and maybe Meli I'd consider resting as they have played alot of games and are pretty crucial to us. Our other two important players - Graham and Wilkin - have had 2 weeks off recently.

Re: Team v's Quins on Saturday : Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:53 pm  

I wouldn't rest anyone. Our attack on Friday night was a shambles of dropped ball and mistiming. Or it was a shambles if we compare it to that of the teams we need to beat if we are to bring home some silverware this season. Our defence can do the job but we need an opportunity to blend our attack better and Quins is a good opportunity for that. They will try and do us because they did us earlier in the season but we should just go all out for the kill, to get our attack going and to get our mental attitude right (we need to go for the full 80 regardless of the opposition).

And besides, as both Hull KR and Salford have shown, giving our players a rest does them no good at all. They return with dropsey. That is what we don't need going into the play offs.

Re: Team v's Quins on Saturday : Mon Sep 05, 2011 7:16 pm  

I'd 100% play full strength side and get a good win going in to the play offs.

Think I'll go down for the weekend.

I need someone to share room with. Are coming saintsfan?
