To a degree UP. Just imagine you were a fringe player that came on late in the aseason, and get suspended at the end of the year. Next year roles along, and your sitting on the sidelines picking your nose while some kid comes out, and absolutely calves up the opposition, and you lose your spot.
To put that in Manly terms:- Matai (as normal) is out suspended.
Imagine Vaeliki has had a belter off season, and calves them up in the trials. Neumann the same. What does Des do? Dump the performers? In this case, and as Des is risk adverse, he'd probably not dump Matai, but if we had a coach like Bellamy / Bennett, the best man for the job gets it.
