Pre-Game Cowboys v Manly [Round 25, 2021]

[pjayz]

I wouldn't be resting our halves, they need to to keep their combination fresh leading onto the finals

I would rest Croker, with Lawton to start and Cust on the bench for a 20min spell.

Paseka, Keppie and DeLuis in; Marty, Sipley and Siro drop out. With only Marty coming back the following week.

I would also give Harper a rest - he looks like he needs it to me, Suli can come in for him.

Problem is, Parra game being on Friday, we will already have to have our squad cut to 19. So at most we can have 2 reserves to come on. I think off the bat from Team list Tuesday, we rest Marty, since we got both Keppie and Paseka back. But I'd keep the rest full strength till hopefully, Easts and Eels both lose and we can chuck like Christian Tui and Cust for both Tom and DCE. Because imagine if we lose one of them to injury in the most meaningless of meaningless games, absolutely no worth playing either of them at all. In fact after 20 minutes into the game, take foz off for walker, crocker off for lawton and like Schuster for Siro. Gotta get out of that cowboys game injury and suspension free at all cost.

We can just name TBA 1-21 can't we, seeing the team is now based in Queensland. Qld rules.

 

[BOZO]

We need to go into the finals with a psychological winning edge

Losing against a third last team with a minus 262 points differential is not an option

If we do rest a few players the rest will be put to the test to stand up and be counted .

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Harpo and Parker look like they need a week off.

I actually thought Tom looked tired against the dogs even though he scored a hat trick

Not surprised, after 33 hit ups and 260mts

I would Give Tom a rest and bring in Moses so he can do another Monster Mash dance with the Cows

What do you think feathered friend . Have Tom fresh for the finals ?

 

[ManlyArmy]

I'd be looking at giving Marty a rest this week. With Paseka and Keppie ready for selection, Marty is the only front rower who's played just about every week so it's a good opportunity to get him fresh for finals.

 

[The Who]

It seems that Doesn'tmatta will be resting players so they are not going to be a serious threat to the Strawberry Milkshakes. We'll be hoping Canberra beats Easts on Thursday night which should give us some comfort that a win against the 'Boys is not vital. I support the idea of resting our stars but only if we can afford a loss.

I was thinking the same re: Marty. He looks like he could use a week off.

no I'm talking earlier in the first half .... but yes quite remarkable stats

I wouldn't be against resting some players Jake and Marty as well as Tom

That Newcastle game and that win plus the 2 competition points would of been handy right about now.

 

[Eagle 1]

The team print out due in the next few hours, will probably be our strongest side this year.

Easts look shot to bits, with the faders still in the mix, it will be a huge effort for them to get up against the faders. Easts have probably resigned themselves to finish in the bottom 8 anyway.

I'm ok with naming a strong side this week but if we do that it really increases the importance of picking up that win in the first week of the finals. Melbourne will be fresh as a daisy come finals time.

After watching Parra do a number on them, I'm getting more confident by the day of our chances against our eternal enemy.

 

[Disco]

Full strength for mine.

The boys will all get a week off when we beat Melbourne 😉

 

[KaZa]

Wouldnt risk Tom. Id have a few backs in the extended bench. If results go our way and we dont even need to win. Tom would be rested. No point risk injury one week out.

 

[HoldenV8]

My feeling is that this afternoon, Des will name his strongest side possible. He wants 4th place, he's already said that publicly. And to that end I can't see him resting anyone, he'll want them to go into the Finals running.
