Quote ="king of the shed"D'ya know I'm really disappointed with Friday if I'm honest, I've said it a few times but not on here. Why on earth did Shaun decide to rest those players who you would expect to be part of our 17 when we kick the season off? With the exception of Cashmere, Bailey & Wild who were all sidelined I would have fielded our strongest available team. '"
I guess there's a balance to be struck between wanting to give players time on the field and wanting to avoid injuries in a pre-season friendly (remember Graham Holroyd?). Maybe the missing players were carrying a few minor bumps and bruises that wouldn't have kept them out of a competitive match, but weren't worth the risk on Friday.
