they should only play if 100% fit.....ISWT (although we don't want a repeat of last years game with Leeds when we played Benny W at 80% and Brett at 75%)

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

Both sides have played over 30 games of rugby in the last 6 or 7 months - I doubt there will be a single player from either side who is '100%' fit come Saturday night.
I agree you don't play anybody who is crocked, but at this stage of the year, you have to take calculated risks on key players, and Carvell and Westwood are both definitely that.
No point them being fitter for the Grand Final if you aren't actually there. |

Is Westwood as important to us as Roby is to Saints? Just a thought.

I'd have no problem taking a calculated risk with one player, but I would worry about risking both. Lose one of them in the first few minutes and we're up against it, lose both and with only two fit interchanges left on the bench the game could be as good as over. |

If they both play, I think we'll win. The second I see their names in the 17, you'll find me counting my chickens.

I said a calculated risk....Any significant doubt and I wouldn't risk it, but I'm sure Tony Smith will have a better idea than any of us.
One thing is for sure - You don't want to go out of the competition thinking 'what if?'. ...I'd sooner make the final and be without Westwood and Carvell there, than lose to Saints having not risked them, because we were saving them for the final. |
