I think as forwards get older it is easier for them to keep playing aka menzies, peacock, morley as they don't need to have pace to burn, Danny Mags has been a fantastic player for Leeds but injuries and age are taking their toil on him and I think next season he may be found wanting..

How come Warrington are in the Grand Final then with the likes of Briers, Hodgson, Michael and Joel Monaghan as well as a forward pack with an average age of 34...?

Because we've been flogging our forwards all season while you've been resting/rotating your players. |

How did rest and rotation work last year, compared to flogging the squad?

injuries can be for a variety of reasons. i never said injuries were the reason for being flogged!
being flogged was the reason we were knackered

So, anyway.....how did the approach of flogging players week after week work when compared to Warrington's squad rotation in the last couple of years? |

And they finished 5th to be rewarded with easy play-off games against Wakefield and Catalan which meant they were comparatively fresh by Week 3 of the play-offs. |

Can you explain how catalans away was easy in the circumstances that were there last year?
Your answer can not include the words rabble, and whipping boy. |

Did Leeds look tired and busted by Week 3 of the play-offs last year after beating Wakefield and Catalan in Week 1 and Week 2 respectively?
Did Leeds look tired and busted by Week 3 of the play-offs in 2011 after beating Hull and Huddersfield in Week 1 and Week 2 respectively?
What was different about 2013? Did having to play Warrington and St Helens in Week 1 and Week 2 make their play-off journey any easier than it did in 2011 and 2012? Or did it make the play-off journey so much harder? |
