Subs: Frank the tank Bowden Ellis Green
I would give Ellis a bit of a rest after the last 2 games we have just had, he was outstanding. Frank The Tank should give us a lift off the bench also. For me Washbrook has to start after the Wire game, he is a ideal 13, great in defence and hands like a halfback & a strong carrier of the ball.
A rest??
He's a professional RL player, he'll want to play and so he should, if fit then "resting" anyone is a nonsense, the top sides don't "rest" players, certainly not against a team we will (although it may seem unlikely right now) be competeing for position with. If this were Batley away or some such then maybe, but we're talking a wounded St Helens that will want to hit the ground running, we need the best side fit and available.
Would your boss give you a "rest" for doing your job the last two shifts?

Resting players against Warrington seemed to work.

Next you're going to be telling us that they played 3 games in 3 days in the 80's aren't you?
No one will want to sit it out, but we have a deep squad, and if we can rotate the pack so that everyone gets a week off every now and then it will benefit us later in the season. Yes playing 3 times in a week is their job, they know all about it well in advance, but if guys are tired and you have a good quality replacement who is hungry for a chance then what good does it do the keep flogging them?
I wouldn't expect to get a day off for working two shifts, but if I worked two shifts back to back I would, and tbf I don't work with a bunch of 17 stone guys who try to beat me up.

Does your job require you to be at a physical and mental peak in order to get the result needed?
If you want elite players to play at an elite standard for a prolonged period of time, they need adequate rest. Just because someone wants to play isn't enough. It doesn't mean they should, and many injured players "want" to play on when they need extra recovery. This is why people are saying to rest players.

Strange when people compare an everyday job to being an elite athlete having to play the most physical contact team sport 3 times in 7 days!

Hull will give us a tough game but the key is to silence their fans in the Threepenny Stand.We have to do this because if we do'nt they will get behind their side and lift them in a way you've never seen,heard or witnessed before.
