Interestingly, we’ve had injuries to key players this season – like McGinn – but that might actually help. He’s come back fresh and looks in top form.<\/p>\n

Now we’ve got players like McGinn, Gilmour, even Robertson who hasn’t played every week – they might have more energy.<\/p>\n
That’s crucial, because in the past we’ve had players completely drained going into tournaments.<\/p>\n
