Message: [QUOTE="HarryAllan7, post: 3550181, member: 9372"] It works both ways... They might use the game to test schemes and gameplans that expose our weaknesses (like our right defensive side). In fact, especially against an exceptionally well-coached team like the Storm, I'd argue that time on the paddock together would probably benefit them more than us, as their coaches have a more consistent and solid track record of gameplanning to exploit other sides. I would rather take our chances in the finals and see whoever is better on the day with a full strength squad than risk injury to a key playmaker in order to gain a little 'tactical experience' which could probably be sourced from watching game tape anyway. Not saying there's NO benefit from playing our key players, or from winning against the Storm (I would LOVE us to beat them), but I just don't think it's worth the risk in a meaningless game... Not to mention, we could play all our stars and STILL lose - what would that do to our confidence if we had to play them again a few weeks later? [/QUOTE]
