WATCHING the form of Jonny Lomax, Tommy Makinson and Luke Thompson against New Zealand made me wonder if the rest at the end of the season had made them fresher.


Saints played the same players whenever possible throughout the season. 


They did not have a policy of rotation.


Could this have contributed to our failure to make the Grand Final?


Other teams rested players to prepare for the play-offs.


Also, Makinson played brilliantly on the left wing.

Is this his best position given that he plays on the right wing for the Saints?
