I think its games like this week where we could afford to rest some players. We are 6 points clear, result could go either way. Fresh faces are always good.

i think Bellamy thinks "rest" is a dirty word.

IT IS :twisted:
You don't 'rest' players ad -hoc & especially NOT against the Warriors at Mt Smart !
Structured replacement of players to a set plan has always been the format.
Only injures have upset that system.

Whether or not it will be a unit containing all of our 'praetorians'
it will still be a well drilled & organised unit with each member knowing his task :twisted:

Keep us posted then, though I suspect there will probably be 19 or 20 players there so you will only be able to tell us so much.

YES
The Storm faces one of the toughest trips in the NRL this week, crossing the Tasman to play the Warriors in Auckland on Sunday without several players on whom Bellamy was banking.

He had hoped Sika Manu and Kevin Proctor would both be available this week but their recovery from ankle and calf injuries respectively has taken longer than first thought, while Bryan Norrie is also out for at least another week. New forward Michael Greenfield injured his neck when he was knocked out in a clash of heads in last week's win over Brisbane and will also be out of action this weekend.
