Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone knows which players are likely to be rested against the Dogs? I’d like to see one of our back-rowers, one of our centres and Kieran Foran given a week off just to make sure Suli, Sironen and Cust get some minutes into their legs before finals in case of injury.
Who gets a rest this round?

We had an issue with background services between march 10th and 15th or there about. This meant the payment services were not linking to automatic upgrades.

From memory in each of our grand final years in the post NE era we have a poor performance in the lead-up to finals. For whatever reason, whether complacency, or because Des likes the training to be amped up before finals, not sure.
Luckily this is a match in which we can actually afford complacency and still win!!
The best way to limit it would be to bring in some of the fringe blokes who will be desperate for some game time and will bust a gut, whether to push their chance for a finals bench spot or simply to shine 'in the shop window".
Marty, DCE, possibly Croker might benefit from a freshen up? And possibly reduced minutes for Haumole and Schu, just because its their first full year of NRL?
I'd consider resting Foran but not at the same time as DCE.
Team selection this arvo will be interesting.
