I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one may need a rest during the game' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'one may need a rest during the game' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'game' could be 'p' (I have seen 'French game ' mean 'p' so perhaps 'game' could also mean 'p') and 'p' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for snooker player that I've seen is " Potter".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
