This whole conversation started with me saying it would be organisational malpractice to not rest your players if their position is set. I agree that is totally being a complete "fuckstick". Deadset.

You were calling forum members dumb and idiots for thinking we shouldn't rest players, and then got stroppy when somebody called you dumb back.

Are you always like this, or just when Cowboys are sliding down the ladder?

No. I was calling the idea of not resting players dumb and idiotic and then got "stroppy" as you call it when somebody said that there is no evidence from sports scientists in team sport that resting is beneficial. Result wise and the human body. That is just a lie. And I called it out because it is idiotic. Not apologising for that. If you want to argue a stupid view well then.... you deserve to be called out
 
The truth is there’s no right or wrong in this matter, it can only be personal opinion.

You can try and play safe and not risk players, but ask the players if they want to sit out, I wonder what their reply would be?

I think the majority are saying don’t risk them if they have a niggle that could turn into something that keeps them out of the finals, otherwise let’s go out there and make a statement.

We’re afraid of no one. We’re the mighty Broncos.
 
I hope we face them in the grand final, because I know we can beat them and I want to see them cry again after losing like in 2006, it gives me sustenance.
 
My opinion on beating Storm and on resting players is the following

Resting players:

I would give Reynolds, Capewell, and Walsh another week off for a few reasons. Firstly, Canberra will be desperate and will be a cold and gritty affair with high chance of injury - especially to play makers. I also think we would still field a team capable of winning. Reynolds and Capewell both seem to have ongoing injuries that need managing and a 2 week break before the finals would be huge for them, we will desperately require their experience come finals. Id have them all return for the Storm game which is the perfect warm up for the finals. This would also have the added benefit of giving more game time to Sailor and Madden in case they are required to cover someone.

1. Walsh > Sailor
7. Reynolds > Madden
11. Capewell > Piakura

Beating storm:
I would go full strength for this game so we enter finals with momentum. Our terrible record against the storm over the last decade has been partly due to us trying to out storm the storm. If you look at the sides that Storm have struggled with over the years it is the teams that play rough and take risks in attack - especially targeting their budget edges. We no longer play Bennett (or even worse, Griffen) ball. We attack from every point on the field, relentlessly testing edge defenders. Our current style perfectly suits the Storms weaknesses. If we are ever going to beat them this is the time.

Our late season bye for me means we should attack it, without it there is the argument to rest, but this is Storm a team we have historically struggled with, I think a win for this matters more, we have o go for it.

You may be agreeing with me but just to clarify I want to rest players v Canberra not Storm

I haven't noticed ARey's niggles.......if anything I thought he was in pretty good nick, for him?

If any of the halves have a niggle, it would have to be Ezra, yeah? He's been going down once a game for a while now with his knee(?)
 
Wolfie (2018) - "Cam Smith is such an influence along with Slater ( who from what i have heard from a couple of players who have played with him has the best football brain in the business ), i think the Storm are going to collapse big time personally as Smith makes the difference time and time again."
 
Kimlo "Take Slater out next year, they'll lose an edge again like they did with Cronk, Smith the year later and they're going to have a long period of being pretty average"
 
I really think they will struggle big time without probably the best game manager the game has ever seen. His influence is immense.

Wolfie again
