Shaw and Henry shouldn't play another match this year, both liabilities in defence.

flying elbows didn't cause too much further damage.

Perhaps Sheffield had more to play for, whereas we had already achieved our objective. If the manager has already met his objective then maybe the squad have switched off slightly. It remains to be seen whether they could switch back on.

Another beasting for your players this week with Lowes and Harrison in charge. No wonder they are knackered.

Some of those are injured, but our most consistent back and forward in Clough and Williams are not, which begs the question why were they not included in the squad?

Maybe they were rested, sure, but then the next question is why haven't they been rested to ensure their peak fitness prior to what is arguably the most important part of the regular season, one where we need to be finding our top form heading into the playoff mini league?

Poor selection yesterday and poor usage of the squad all season.

I hope Jimmy has learnt this lesson for next season where ever we end up, because its certainly not optimal, IMO.

I'm not sure that the tiredness is something to worry too much about. It appears to me that we're in pre season mode, both physically and mentally. If the training regime is geared to achieving peak fitness for the Middle 8s, rather than the next game, then it wouldnt be a surprise if we look tired now. I dont really think any of the players, apart from possibly O'Brien, have had too punishing a schedule. It really should be a case of heavy training sessions on Thursdays and Fridays rather than too many games.

There's plenty of time to get the players fresh for the Middle 8s.
