If Hampton remains on the bench perhaps he can cover for Billy, Billy looks like he's about to break whenever he's tackled and probably could use the break. Cooper was rested for knights game and if he gets through origin he should play the 80

Yep..the club might be carefully managing Cooper, Cam and Billy.

Playing 2 at a time to give one a weeks break.

Would make a lot of sense.

Ease their workloads but in a managed way for the team.

Craig might choose who to rest out of Cam and Bill based on match ups ??

But if Benny was capable of backing up a good game by playing FB with a great team around him including Cam and Coops, it would be ideal to give Billy a rest imo.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

Anyway..at the very least, Hampton should be on the bench.
I would prefer to give Coops an early shower when we have the game won.I`m sure Coops would rather start the game and get us in front than have to come on and play catch up.

Can`t believe dean Ritchie of daily telecrap is blaming Billy for being the reason the brawl started last night.Billy got tackled by pissant pearce and Billy was just trying to get him off.Merrin started that brawl because he was frustrated cos bloos were being thrashed by a far superior team.
why can`t ritchie accept that fact and stop trying to blame billy
