[QUOTE="Scotty, post: 965420, member: 74100"] Tbh we go on about resting players but Alex Goode for Sarries last year played 1628 premiership minutes starting rounds 1 - 20 plus the semi and final at 15 and playing 80min for about 90% of the games. Might be different for the forwards as there are more collisions but players are capable of playing 7 games of 80 min especially as no English player has played every minute so far(that im aware of?) This are athletes who will have been beasted by EJ to get them in shape and no way should they be worried about being tired after 4 games. I mostly say rest to prevent injuries and give players who need gametime what they need. Im in 2 minds about Manu, he is vital to our attack and needs gametime with Slade/JJ but at the same time will likly play every minute from QFs forward as he is our most powerful back who creates space and we have no like for like. So im in 2 minds about wrapping him up in cotton wool or letting him lose from the start with Slade. [/QUOTE]
