Have you considered that maybe.....just maybe the club has a better idea on who is fit to play and who isn't?
I don't assume the club always gets it right. I think they made a mistake if they rested Nic.
We 'coulda' played Nic and we 'coulda' won the game maybe. We 'coulda' not rested anyone and IF we were lucky no one woulda got injured. You have put up just as many coulda woulda statements as anyone.
We could cry over a review which WC has no control over or have done something WC had control over, like play Nic.
What would you have said if we played a sore Nic and he copped another injury?
It was the risk that had to be taken, as winning meant keeping top 4 in WC's own hands. He'd be back for the start of finals if he'd done a hammy due to a tight back.
Your 20 20 hindsight unfortunately isn't something the club has access too.
My call isn't a matter of hindsight, as I called for Nic not to be rested last Wednesday. In an earlier post I provided the evidence.
