Sure you make valid points, W, but although we have a lovely 9-day break now, we have had a difficult run with matches in quick succession, a bit of travel, and a tough one from Poort.
Shai has stepped up superbly as you've probably seen from our website today:
"Bolton, thriving in his new midfield role within the Tigers’ line-up, is ranked 12 times in the top five of 19 specific categories (three times as No. 1).
Only champion midfielder Dustin Martin, 14 times (three as No. 1), is ahead of Bolton."
But it can easily be forgotten that he's still just a kid of 21 and 175cm/77kg. I still argue we should give a nice, long break now in readiness for those tougher games to come, on the proviso Cotch is back. I'm secretly hoping Nank and Big Dave too perhaps after this break.
I don't want to see Shai pushed so hard that he breaks down at this point; he is so important now. Don't want to strain those magnificent leg muscles you see below!!
No, I rate GCS now but I watched their game against the Doggies who did struggle to get over them. I can't stop myself from this line of thinking - we belted the Dogs, so surely can handle the Suns?
Noticeably other competitors like Geesook and the Skunks are resting some key players now.
But, it's a risk. Logical thinking was that Brisbane beat Poort; we beat them; so should have managed to get over PA.
Doesn't seem to always work like that!
PS - Do want to see RCD and Markov get to play though.
