Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2693800, member: 1950"] Two ways of looking at it IMO: The tough run the to finals (Manky, Bulldogs, Dragons, Roosters (3), Souths (4), Storm (5)) will tire us out and deplete our energy. Any sub-par performance could snow ball and we bow out in straight sets. On the other hand, it's a dress rehersal for the real thing the following week. Quality teams playing quality football. It will play us into some form, we get a good chance (even if we lose) to assess our strengths and weaknesses before the real thing comes along. I think the value of Bennett his ability to prevent the first scenario coming to fruition where we completely drop the ball. Even if there is a few hiccups, I think he will know how to get into the heads of Milford and Hunt to have them playing well and then he has seasoned grand final and big game winners (Hodges, Thaiday, Parker, Boyd, Blair) there to back them in. There's just no-one in our squad at the moment I can see having a meltdown in a big game scenario. Perhaps Kahu/Maranta revert to their old ways, but their games aren't built on confidence plays.
