Quote: Grimmy "Really? Call me a massive pessimist but we will need to go hell for leather over the next 10 league games (plus Cup semi and maybe final). Meanwhile Cas look like they will be able to start resting and rotating in league games almost as soon as the Super 8s start, plus they have two free weekends when the cup is on. I think if we scrape into 4th place it would take a massive effort from a likely knackered side to beat Cas, especially when they are fresh, at home (a big factor at the Jungle), and playing some very good rugby. Perhaps I'm just scarred from so many lost semi-finals over the last 15 years or so! Feeling much more positive about our Cup prospects'"
WRT Cas getting to rest players over the last 4 more 5 games, could be a good thing for them if they get the balance right but they'll have to be careful they don't over-do it. You want to take momentum into the playoffs, mix and matching your lineup for several games wouldn't help that.
