Anyone remember what happened to Liam Jurrah a couple of years ago when the brains trust of Dean Bailey and co decided to play him on some god-forsaken oval in SA? He ruined his shoulder and we all cried about it for months.
Now that an actual coach is in charge, the other 50% of the nuffies who run this site are complaining about NOT playing our stars. Is there anyone here who actually thinks about the future? There is almost NO point in risking our best 22 in some random practice match, since they're already certain to be in our team anyway.
There are about a million other reasons not to play our best players (ha!), but I won't bore you by writing a list. Suffice it to say that Renmark is going to bear witness to two decidedly B-grade teams on Sunday, as well it should.
