I considered that as well. Won't know till we cross that road.. However, if they do not replace them till the Playoff rounds, the noodles will have lost a great amount of rigidity by the time we get to the all important final Qualification matches.
My point is that projecting noodles just can't be a consistent strategy. To be a majorly competitive team, there will need to be a better strategy for noodles than hoping they will make it all the way to the opponents side at all times.
