You are just a constant smart ass mate about everything to me. How hard is it to have a civil conversation about a topic without constantly going at me. Ever since I got here.
I appreciate the genuine take in the bottom half of your post. I will guarantee you if somehow the Panthers stuff up the next few weeks or you guys do and you either have the minor premiership sewn up or 2nd place that none of your main guys are playing in the last round. Walsh, Carrigan, Haas, Reynolds, Capewell, Staggs just to name a few. I firmly believe every single coach would do the same. Having as much rest as possible for your best players is what you want when you have a finals series coming up. Imagine carrigan or haas playing in a meaningless game last round and picking up a head knock. That would be devastating. Eliminate the risk. Frankly the push back from a few here is weird to me. I don't understand it. Maybe is because it's coming from me and because I'm not a supporter. Extremely defensive about the logical approach
You take things way too seriously.
Coaches believe in momentum. I remember Cleary saying something about it when they won their first premiership and they pretty much only made the changes they had to for about 23 games straight.
The risk is there in any game, injuries can happen in training also so its a fine balance. If you drop so many players its more than possible the side can come back a bit off it or clunky. I just dont see the point in dropping the backbone of your side unless you need to.
