For all the worry about potential injuries I do think Radford is doing the right thing. If we are serious about being a top side you can't put all your eggs in one basket no matter how desperate you want it. A win on Thursday allows us to go into the final top of the league and one win away from a Grand Final appearance. I'd rather have that sorted before the Cup Final as there will probably be another cup hangover whichever way it goes. At least there is a couple of games to get over it with the knowledge we're already in the semis.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the (Dark) Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

I seriously think we should have tested Taylor this week. He looks shot, we need Yaylor to play like he was at the beginning of the season. Most teams can't compete with Taylor and Watts on the field together when their both firing.

151 metres against Widnes last week. Highest of all team suggests otherwise?

To be fair I don't think its so much a case of Scott Taylor needing resting think it now more a case of both him & Watts are that the opposition are now putting 3 and 4 on them in the tackle to try to stop them.
Think Radford is right to play his strongest and fittest 17 every week as when you start trying to change things just to rest players thats when the mind set and focus tends to get lost.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
