Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2436514, member: 1764"] Agree. I see no point in resting anyone unless we have 1st or 2nd sewn up and want to give Thaiday, Hodges and Civo a rest. Even then, only if they have some niggles to get over. The Round 23-25 gauntlet, also agree. There should be 2 goals: 1. Be absolutely competitive for the full 80 minutes of all 3 games 2. Win 2 of the 3 minimum Last time we had tough back to back games we lost all 3 (Warriors away, Manly home, Melbourne away), albeit Origin impacted for the last one, and we should've won the Manly game. Bulldogs, well, it remains to be seen if they can maintain their current form until then, but I think we need to beat them. Melbourne - they're beatable. No question about it. And at home, I think we need to make a statement. If we can't beat them at home then we'll never beat them. Manly at Brooky - not our favourite place to play, and a win there would be a huge boost to the confidence. IMO Broncos, Storm, Manly and Bulldogs are the top 4 teams this year, so running that top 4 gauntlet we have to make a statement. Not saying we can't win the premiership if we don't win 2+ of those games, but the psychological advantage of doing so would be ideal. I also see Warriors at home as a danger game. Warriors have no fear for us, and they always lift a level. Titans will also be desperate to end their losing streak against us, especially at home, and a win there will be key to keeping their finals hopes alive, so definitely not to be taken lightly - but I think we should win that one. Eels SHOULD be a gimme. Raiders SHOULD be a gimme, but again, Canberra isn't a happy hunting ground for us. Penrith...pfft. Like I said, I hope we don't rest players, but whether we do or not we need to make a statement in that game. Not just go through the motions for a win. Really we've got to aim for top 2. Get a home final week 1 and best chance to host a grand final qualifier. Last thing we want is to face an away trip to Melbourne to play the Storm in week 1. [/QUOTE]
