So we have the Saints this week, BYE, then the Blues before going to Skilled which is effectively like 4 weeks away.

For the Blues game or at worst Cats game we could have Hill, Walters, Ibbo and Luke Mac all playing.
So which guys are going to get injured next to swap for them? :(

Add Ballas, which means we have 3 automatic inclusions assuming McPharlin plays this week. May be time for some squad rotation especially when playing Brisbane away.

Based on that list, we could potentially have Silvagni, Hill, Walters, Ibbotson, McPharlin and Gumbleton all available after the bye. At that point we would definitely have some depth and competition for places heading towards September - let's hope ...

I'd say 5 - i think if they are fit then all three of those guys are automatic selections.

We don't travel from July 19th to August 9th, virtually 3 weeks at home and a 9 day break before the Cats and then it's time. With every one rested we'll be hard to beat for the rest of the season. Can easy see us and Sydney meeting in the granny both unbeaten since May.
 
I know Walters have been keeping up with fitness via upper body workout and stuff. But he's been out for a couple of months. I'm guessing they let him run in peel for a week or 2 after taking him off the injury list. Hope he can make it for the Geelong game

Won't happen straight in
 
I know I know. Players like MJ, Hill and McPharlin are all automate in when fit. I assume Sonson is in the same basket as well, but fitness level is bound to drop after a long break. If not peel then I think 1 or 2 weeks of running laps may still be required.

ps: happy to be wrong :)

Yoong Ross has said that Walters is fitter than he has ever been as luckily he decided to take up boxing 1 day after surgery. Nice

Wonder if the 9 day break on this occasion will be less ideal as it comes after the bye period... it kind of breaks the continuity of match time.
 
We won't rest anyone methinks until we've locked up a Top 2 spot.

The run home is Hawks - Home (Sunday), Brisbane - away (Sunday), Port - Home (float fixture - more than likely Saturday) would be the ideal time to rest anyone who is not 100%.

Assuming we finish top 2, we will play the first week Friday or Saturday, meaning our first week of finals could be back to back 6 day breaks.

If any players are sore then I think we should rest them for that game.

Finish top 2* and we can't play on Saturday the 6th Sept - Rugby at Subi, so the fixturing will be interesting...

*still have 6 games until then - so let's not count our chickens...
 
There's no way they'll play a qualifying final on a Sunday. If we finish top 2 someone else will be travelling on a 6 day break to play us Friday night which would put us in the box seat I'd have thought.

It is something like 14 clubs have played off back to back 6 day breaks and I think 11 have lost.
I think Sydney will have the same issue, with playing on Sunday in round 22.

Hawks are a bit luckier, playing on Saturday in round 22.
