It's that time of year again in the Rugby League world, where the age-old question rears its head once more.
Should teams be able to rest players as they see fit, or should they be obligated to put their best foot forward to uphold the integrity of the competition? The debate rages on, with arguments flying back and forth like a well-thrown pass on game day.
But when it comes down to it, if a team has dominated the regular season and secured the minor premiership with a couple of rounds to spare, they have undoubtedly earned the right to call the shots.
Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy knows this all too well, and he's not afraid to play the game strategically.
As Storm football director Frank Ponissi confirms that the team will be at full strength for Round 27, it's clear that Bellamy is playing his cards right.
The Storm are sitting pretty at the top of the ladder, and they're not about to let their foot off the gas now.
It's all about maintaining momentum and keeping the pressure on their rivals.
So as the Storm gear up for their next clash against the Cowboys, you can bet they'll be ready to play hard and fast.
Because when it comes to Rugby League, only the strong survive, and the Storm are looking to prove that they're a force to be reckoned with.
