Has Nella earned a spell this week?

Taniela Paseka… TP… Teepee… Tent…

Never got the tent thing until now.

Nella is in career best form.

So why we should give him a spell this week?

1. because we can this week!

AOA back refreshed and ready to dominate. Lodge looked great for a first run, but he needs the match fitness more. Brown back fresh and ready to go and will want to personally destroy Brad Arthurs men. Bull needs a run more, his speed around the ruck changed the game and he ultimately won us that match with his try. Reward it with more minutes.

And for good measure even Woodsy showed at Prop for short stints he can hold his own, and do enough not to be out of place to give a mate a rest even if one of above is out.

2. That kind of depth is wasted if you don't use it.

3. Nella we need him fresh and firing for the 4 that follow. Raiders, Dolphins, Broncos, Storm.

4. He could have lot of footy coming up, including Blues jersey yet.

I agree with your thinking that players can be rested though, maybe less minutes if they can get out to a decent lead and have teams put away.

I think Tent should play origin this year, off the bench he could turn the game with his running game, defensively he doesn’t miss many tackles, hits and sticks.

Yep, I think good management of rotation is the way to go. Unless someone is carrying an injury and we have a full compliment of forwards to choose from. I could see an argument for "resting" a player.

No, this is a very important game, need top team out there.

 

[The Admiral]

pardon me, but who is Nella?

I’m so pleased someone asked this question. Why would you rest a guy who is in amazing form?

 

[Under the Sticks]

We need to up our “for” and lower our “against” and the sqeels in their current form are just the team to help us with that especially if Queen Gutho does not feature in Team List Tuesday.

Taniela

Oh...Tent---LOL

All Nella Needs is deep tissue therapy

Deep tissue therapy involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles

This therapist should get him up for the game against the Eels

I think that taking the eels for granted and even thinking about not playing our best side is severely misguided.
