Some of these players being rested (or speculatively about to be rested) haven't actually played more than in a normal season - suggests squad rotation will be the norm for teams with guaranteed berths in future seasons.
A bye before the finals start would help.
Another option to prevent this would be to go back to the old McIntyre finals series format - where 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5 - so there is more incentive to finish higher than 4th. It's a more mathematically sound system anyway. Even if it's "complexity" upset people.

Probably the last two players in the bubble who haven't got a game. With nothing left to play for, seems like a fair reward.

Bennett is unlikely to rest anyone, we haven’t earnt the right too.ShadowSabre wrote:I think Storm, Panthers Broncos team lists are what could make or break my final ranking. Outside chance Rabbitohs too, if Bennett decides to rest Cook or Murray ahead of finals
If anything Murray may just play a few less mins.

Sullivan is in for Hunt yes?
Who would Blacker be in for? Is he a forward?

12 points behind Filth overall. Think this is the latest in a season he has ever been in front of me

We don't really have any stocks to rest anyone anyway.

Yeah he's a middle forward, expecting he's on the bench.

I can't believe with a score of 785 I beat Milford the Magician by 1 point in the L3 playoffs. My team is rubbish so surely I can't fluke a win again lol.

A late St Filthingham's day this year?
(for the uninitiated, St Totteringham's Day is the day in which it becomes mathematically impossible for Tottenham to overtake Arsenal in the league. Sadly/happily St Totteringham's day doesn't get celebrated every year any more)

I don't think the NRL should make decisions because of fantasy players. but if so many players get rested this week that people don't watch the games, then they'd have to think about putting in the pre-finals bye week.
With the season about to get serious,. who wants to watch a bunch of rookies and reserve graders run around trying not to get injured.
This year is a bit unusual in that so many positions are decided already, including 1st, 2nd and the top 8.
Raiders with the chance to break into the top 4 at the expense of the Eels are about the only teams with anything significant to play for.
