Should Hird be rested this week.

So who wanted him rested?

Come on, hands up

I'll still say that I think he should have been rested. He will never take a step back unless he is forced. I think sometimes he might push a bit too hard.

We might only see him another 13 times...

Call me selfish, but I don't want to miss a single opportunity to see James Hird play footy.

If he isnt rested, we may see him less than 13 times. We know how tempramental Hird's body is, so why even give it a chance to stuff up big time.

There is no point resting him before the break now, but I wouldnt be surprised if he missed the game of the split round. We play at AAMI, and that would give him a chance to have a 2 week rest, which should get him through the year.

And by not playing him, it could cost us the opportunity to see him in another finals series.

By playing him less games, so he could play more games, he/we might end up playing less games.

Agree.

Take in all you can to tell people in the future about when you used to watch James Hird play.

It's a crazy paradox but a great tongue-twister to say 5 times quickly..

Until we get to round 16. I think by then he'll be playing every game as the minutes become more precious (unless we're in the top 4 and a certainty for the finals)
