Potentially our first minor premiership in 23 years, and we have to go through Melbourne...
The footy gods certainly have a sense of humor.

And 4 weeks for Staggs for an arm that didn't even connect

Loool Fox is a laugh right now. We just won and it's nothing but doom and gloom about Reyno, Carrigan and Walsh.

I think we should rest Walsh, Reynolds, carrigan, mam and haas next week I reckon.
Out of that 3 options will happen....
We win: demoralising for the storm and we play them the next week with those 5 back (we would finish 1st and them 4th likely)
We lose and penriff lose (unlikely due to their loss this week): we get those 5 back and I doubt this team loses 2 in a row, despite it being the storm
We lose and penriff win, putting us in the 2nd: we play the warriors with those 5 coming back, we'd be short priced in my eyes...
The other reason... and sadly I am not joking here, I reckon storm would intentially injure our spine players if they start losing to us and they know/think they'll play us a week later.

It also might bait Penrith to play their full compliment against the Cows. Our guys go in rested, they go in after a loss and a potential gut check game against the Cows.
We all saw what Tapine just tried to do to Walsh. You think Melbourne won't try the same shit? DON'T. RISK. IT.

Staggs possible suspension, walsh looked a bit ginger at the end on the knee but I don't think it's anything other than a niggle.

Storm more likely to pull something out of their arse but it's probably about even, yeah.

Exactly my thoughts. I really think resting everyone we can is our best option. First is no advantge over second.

Kevvie saying Reynolds won't be playing, neither will Patty.

Don't think there's any injuries, but Staggs will be lucky to be playing next week. He'll get charged.

BTW, for those who are worried about having to face the Storm twice in a row ... it's not out of the realms of possibility for the Storm to finish 3rd if they win this game.
A Storm win and a Warriors loss in the final round will see them swap places on differential.
