Just like you, but not as bad.
Did we, or did we not rest a load of lads Vs Saints, with an eye on the Leeds cup game? We got bumm£d by Saints and lost to Leeds anyway. Having a rest, isn't some magic bullet to suddenly making everything all sunshine and rainbows.
This rest stuff is absolute BS, or at least at this stage of the year it is. It's the latest buzz/hipster topic everyone loves to buy into. Woolf must be laughing at his ability to set the narrative (he's almost Fergie like) and I'm sure part of it is also undoubtedly politics to get the Easter Monday fixture cancelled. We're 12 games into the season FFS and more than half the squad haven't played every game.
Mate, you keep saying things like "we're 12 games into the season" etc as if that makes a difference. If you run a marathon you'll still be tired whether it's your first or your 10th. We've just run the equivalent of a rugby league marathon. Players will be fatigued on the back end of it whether that's after 12 games or after 20. You dismiss it as "the latest hipster topic". That's so ignorant of the reality as to be bordering on the farcial!
We're talking about what gives us the best chance of winning the semi. Just ask yourself simple question. Do you operate at your best when you're fatigued? If the answer is yes then please hand yourself in to the nearest research lab as the world needs to study you. If the answer is no, as I suspect it is, then by all means join in the debate as to whether there is more gained by resting players than is lost to continuity. Dismissing it as BS or "the latest hipster topic" just makes you look foolish.
