Hes a top 10 pick and needs to get a decent run in the firsts imo soon to see how he fares. With the bye round in 3 weeks time makes sense to play him for 2 weeks leading up to it and then gets a rest.
Then again what do I know.
IMHO, it would be an awful mistake to bring a 1st year player into the 1s off a rest. Just as it was an awful mistake to play Fisher in the 1s first week back after an injury lay-off!
I have no problem doing this with typical experienced players, but 1st years and beginners do not have the muscle memory yet to switch on from cold and should only come in off the back of a good game!
Match fitness and form is good fitness and form!
