Resting Players

[AsianWithAFro]

MM has reported to say after last nights game that "Harry O’Brien, Alan Toovey, Scott Pendlebury and Dale Thomas would be rested at some stage in the second half of the year". I would understand Toovs but not Pends, Daisy and H-Bomb. We need these 3 players in our team as they are probably 3 of our players who are driving us forward. Your Thoughts?

September (if we get there) is when it really counts... I don't want those three breaking down.

I say go for it...

Seeing Thomas after the game last night, give the little fella a rest.

As for Pendles and Harry O, it depends on how their body and form are going. If they're battling a bit, give them a rest 5-6 weeks out from finals to have them back in the flow come September.

Also keeping in mind the pending return of Bucks, Lica and Jimmy. Someone has to go out of the side to make way for these guys, and I guess resting the younger players and giving them a run at Willy is the best option to do so IMO.

I reckon Toovey could do with a rest. Pendlebury looks fine at the moment and so does OBrien. Thomas could maybe do with a break. Split round coming up so theres one on the way. A rest just outside the finals might be a good idea.

Once we get Bucks and Clement back, i cant see any problem with it, they will be resting Bucks when he gets back

harry seems strong enough, would def rest the other 3 especially pendles considering i want to have his kids and he had glandular

Rest Thomas, why not do it against the Snowbunnies, especially if he is a bit injured as some have suggested. Athough not if Heaters corky is still a problem, but 8 days should be enough, even for a bad cork.

I can't remember a time when we had sufficient depth to be able to rest players who are playing well. I think that after the mid season break, providing we have something close to a full list, MM might start rotating more players to keep them fresh come Sept.

It's a nice problem to have rather than the usual problem of too many injuries.

I reckon Daisy would be the better for a rest, too.

We have

Buckley, Clement, Licca, Lonie, Wakelin, Bryan, Rusling, Cox who can come into the team that didn't play last night

and also have blokes like Stanley, Cook, Dick and even Reid who may deserve to be rewarded with some senior games if they play well for Willi

If a bloke like Thomas is in a down period where he isn't playing well we can 'rest' him and give somebody else a go, all good teams are like this with depth

When / if the young kids start to slow up we appear to have most positions covered with more senior players....that is a very promising sign

Bring in Martin Clark already

Ben Davies could use a rest.
