I was hoping we would win 2 of the 4 games against Ess, Ric, WBD & North in this block
For me the priority is now beating North with a full fresh best 22 side.
The Club only rested 1 player in Birchall last week. I believe they need to rest as many as possible this week but probably won't happen.
I suspect they will think they can win both games and then get a bye soon after for any player recovery.
But this could backfire big time and in fact result in two losses.
I do hope they rest players this week showing signs of fatigue and their are a few.
Robbo should have been rested after his 200th.
In the on field interview after his 200th game he said and i quote "a short break is going to do me in, but i will see how i go"
Injured/rested: Rayner (inj), Oscar, McCluggage, Zorko, Robinson, Starcivich & anyone else that struggles during the week
In: Rich, McStay, Birchall, Lester assuming they are at 95 %+. Then any one else impressing the coaches to get a run.
At the end of the day it does not matter who you beat as all wins give you 4 points towards the yearly total
