Quote MonkeyLover="MonkeyLover"Do you realise the Saints 'Academy' that faced London had between them played over 400 more Super League Games than the 17 Players the Broncos put out there?
Tony Smith had no issue, Richard Agar had no issue so I am at a loss to understand quite why a Hull KR fan would have an issue?
The cap is based around a 25 man squad. If the numbers 20 - 25 are not good enough to be classed as first team players then they should be removed from the cap and Saints can have that to spend elsewhere. Would that make you happier?'"
Tony Smith did have an issue. He complained about it in a recent article.
I can see why a coach would be annoyed by it but I’m very much of the view that resting so many players rarely works anyway as it disrupts a teams momentum but also its attitude.
In recent time I’m struggling to remember a time where it’s actually worked resting a large amount of players.
So I doubt we’ll see it happen very often.
