What is the point of playing key men like Cuthbo, Parcell, Ward, Watkins etc , or flogging the workhorses of the team any more . The only first teamer that should be playing is fatty Ferres.

Take note that Powell is resting 4 or 5 of his key men this weekend - look and learn.

Yes, it worked so well for us before the cup semi final with Hull. I've never believed dumping games the week before major games is a good strategy, having seen Leeds try it several times under Laughton, never mind our experience in the last decade showing that form in the last few weeks of the year counts for everything.

We did before the Cup SF and it didn't work. Maybe we should wait and see what the SF results are before lauding the team who is resting a load.

Just before the cup semi final, we rested just about a whole team. I am unsure how anybody can compare that to resting key individuals as a one off in Cuthbertson and Parcell.



However, resting should have taken place when the opportunity was there, and most needed, Easter and the May double. Then debating it now wouldn't really be an issue.

Well the poster did say we should rest EVERY first teamer apart from "fatty Ferres"

I would start whatever spine we are going to play in the the semi final to make sure all combinations are sharp, which imo should be Walker Burrow McGuire Parcell.

Then if everything thing is clicking and we look ready for the semi we can rest Parcell/McGuire for the last 30 or something

Could potentially put Golding over onto the wing and give Hall a week off. He'll be an important player next week against Hull or Saints helping the forwards out with his carries against their big packs

The problem with that argument is that you could make it for everyone individually. Every player would physically benefit from a week off now. For me it should all be about building confidence and - shock - practicing set plays and defensive patterns.

I don't think we have any set plays

You need to pay more attention

Golding

Briscoe Watkins Keinhorst Hall

Moon McGuire

Garbutt Parcell Mullally

Ormondroyd Ablett

Delaney



Burrow Cuthbertson Jones-Buchanan Sutcliffe

Brainless team selection .

Why we are playing key men like Parcell , Cuthbo , Watkins , McGuire, Hall , Burrow etc is beyond belief - I hope I"m wrong , but if any of them collect an injury that affects next week , there is only one idiot to blame .
