Should we rest players?

Should we rest players for the Wigan game?

Win and we have a chance of third, but so what. However resting players before the cup final backfired, so should we go out and play our strongest side to prepare for the play offs, but risk injures to key players?

Personally I think we don't risk those carrying bad knocks, but otherwise we should play a strong side.

play a full strenght fit team and continue the winning run, its best to hit the playoffs on a run with all guns firing rather than chopping and changing a team.

Full first team imho.

I think NB may have learnt a lesson form resting players the week before the cup final. So i'm expecting to see our strongest possible line up available.

Agreed, I feel quite confident at the moment and I think we have had our dip in form now. The way I see it is that everybody has to lose and dip in form at some stage, I think ours is done. Conversely I think KR, Wakey, Leeds may well be due that dip as we enter the playoffs. All well and good winning lots in a row but the longer it goes the closer that loss comes. We need to now b uild our own winning run and a full strength side against Wigan will be the start of another run to the finals. We all know we have a team capable of it this season, i think the key will be compensating the loss of Brown.

But what if Brett or someone like that gets injured in a game that has very little importance? It would make a huge dent in our play-off hopes.

i think we shouldnt rest players,
it all prooved that when we rested players for the cup final,
so i think we should play full strengh squad all the way

full bore from now on, we have a strong squad, someone gets injured, sad, but anothers chance to stake a claim, bodies on the line time

sadly I got an impression that some were resting AT Wembley!!

Full team for me, Injuries are sadly a part of our game and you just have to take the rough with the smooth.

Lets go into the last game all guns blazing ready for the play offs.

We need a win in our last game at Home to lift the fans, help sell STs and to encourage people to come to our second play off game. Lose vs Wigan and lose our first play off game against Leeds and how amny will turn up for the home play off game.
