No resting players key players like the Big 3 or Widdop, it cost us momentum for the finals when the Roosters destroyed the Storm in R26 last year. There might be a couple of players dropped though, especially Sika and maybe Danger for Juzzy. Here's the team I'd like to see:

1. Billy Slater
2. Sisa Waqa
3. Justin O'Neill
4. Will Chambers
5. Anthony Quinn
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Cam Smith (C)
10. Jason Ryles
11. Kevin Proctor
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Todd Lowrie

14. Ryan Hinchcliffe
15. Bryan Norrie
16. Richie Fa'aoso
17. Jamian Lowe

I think the team that you guys are naming will be the team named by the club but won't be the team taking the field Sat night...

To be honest i don't think we had a great deal of momentum weeks before the Roosters game last year and resting players had little to do with our finals performance. We were only travelling just ok in the lead up to the last game of the regular season and IMO we were well and truly spent come finals time. Looking back now in hindsight, while at the time i was devastated as we all were i'm actually glad we didn't beat the Warriors in the Prelim because on form i don't think there was much chance of winning the GF. As much as it hurt losing the Prelim we all know it hurts a hell of a lot more losing a GF. Of course we'll never know for sure but that's just my thinking.

As for resting players this year i'm not so sure it's for the best. If we were playing much better footy then i'd be more inclined to sit one or two out, especially Coops since he hasn't had a break. That said there's no hiding from the fact that we haven't played anywhere near our best footy for a fair while now (with the exception against a very poor Panthers side) and i just don't think it'd be a great idea to go into the finals resting our play makers the week before.

O'Neill if fit for Quinn.
I'd give Manu 1 more chance maybe of the bench.
More importantly lets play some error free football and work on some set plays in attack.

The team named is the same team that took on the Sharks with O'Neill in for Nielsen. Whether that is the team that actually takes the field is another story.

Refs are Archer and Suttor. Well, at least we don't have Hayne, Badger or Cecchin reffing us this week.

Ruins my week when I see Hayne's name listed against a Storm game... I don't know how this tosser holds an NRL refereeing gig down. Orange tan, egotistical, d*ck. I'm sure Ray Hadley and Shayne Hayne would love to get together for a beer and discuss how the Storm deserve to die a painful death.
