Agree re. potentially being more of a hindrance, but I think for his mental state he needs to get a game this year. He's been putting in the hard yards all year, and I bet most of that determination has come from the chance to get a few games in and then the finals. Take that away and I'd hate...
I think I'm most nervous about seeing how they'll turn out and play. I don't mind so much if they lose, as long as they put in a good fight and try their hardest. I'll be mighty annoyed if they're way off their game because of the rubbish this week.
