Surely this would be common sense from burgess? If we were playing tonight I'd suspect he would've gone full strength but with it being on a Saturday wouldn't that mean any failed HIA's mean said player misses wembley as it's an 8 day turnaround for concussions? Or have I got that wrong?

11 day concussion protocol I think so it would not matter when the game is played.

Give over, which player wants to miss the opportunity of playing at Wembley?

I thought HIA protocal was 11 days for some reason, i could be completely wrong though.

A bit suprised if I'm honest, but don't suppose we'll know if it's the right call until after the ccf.
Remember a few years ago when we rested players in the Salford league match (with Akuoala on the wing) and they almost won. Next week the supposed strong team played abysmally and got stuffed in the cup. It can work both ways.

Get away with more than any other team I’ve watched over the years, I’m sure that if they play some fringe players they will be told to target any Warrington starters, human nature and probably penalty sufficient come Tuesday

But of course the angels that play for you lot wouldn't dream of doing that, would they?
