Quote: Dropkick Murphy "People who moan about rotation saying things like "play your best team week in week out" wouldn't be happy if we did just that, were cruising at the top of the league in June, then had a squad full of exhausted players who lost the semi to Huddersfield, scraped over the line in third or fourth after losing a couple of games in August then got knocked out in the play offs.
Rotation is crucial and in a sport where finishing first isn't the be all and end all it is even more important. If we get passed Huddersfield we will have league games against Wigan and Saints, Wembley, and the play offs to look forward to from August onwards.
THAT'S when we need momentum.

Rotating is all well and good but not resting the whole nucleus of the team. All i can think is Tony Smith is putting himself under a lot of pressure with this system, if we bomb out of the play offs again after the poor season and constant squad changing then what will happen?
