As it's that time of the season I wondered what the general feeling was when it comes to clubs 'resting players' ahead of the play offs? Personally I think if a club has worked all season to put themselves in a strong position why shouldn't they rest whoever they want, they've earned the privilage.

It's a shame the topic is about RL then eh.

Giants started resting their players in April.

There is a difference between the 2 examples. When Saints did it, IIRC you didn't have to name a squad prior to the game, so both Saints and Bradford fans turned up expecting a competitive Saints lineup. Now at least you know the vast majority of the squad before you travel to a game. Also I'd suggest, with all due respect to London, resting players v London is a different prospect than resting them v a very strong Bradford team. One could legitimately be seen as an attempt to rest players and rotate the squad, whereas the other is effectively forfeiting the game.
Having said that I think Smith rested too many. IIRC it was 8 he rested, if he'd just rested around 4 players I don't think anyone would be bothered.
I would also say that I think the Wire team put out v London was perfectly capable of beating London.

Very true. Unfortunately London did not follow the script and played very well that evening, some thing they have not been credited for.

Spot on, it was a great performance from London.
