Sorry i thought MM gave ppl like Tomkins, Charnley, Goulding, MM and others there chance. Might have been in another universe though or dimension to you

Its 1 thing to give youth a chance and get them on the bench or play them in the CC against a side from the lower division. We are 5 games into a season and resting so many when we could have blown them away in the first 60 minutes and then you could play the younger players. 2 points is 2 points.

People moaned about senior players who where playing well bellow par being picked constistantly ahead of promising youth prospects. NO ONE has ever moaned about Russell not being picked ahead of Tomkins.

There needs to be a happy balance. It was originally thought that only Richards and Tommy were to be rested, I thought that was sufficient. When bringing new players in it should be done gradually. This could really bite us, look at the difference between Wire and Wigan last season...one point.

It's all about finding the balance, which is what most fans will want. Sure, rest Leuluai and Richards and start Mellor with Gelling in there - no complaints there. But to rest Tomkins/Leuluai/Lockers you put too much pressure on Finch. It's just asking for trouble.

Unfortunately when you take a gamble like today that so far is biting us you can't expect much else than plenty of frustrated opinions, fortunately for us we are a far better side in tne second half this season but we will need to be as I honestly struggle to see Widnes winning a game this season let us not have that shame over us of being the only ones.

Well i'm happy i was never in the same team as you, so damned negative... Yes its a gamble, and time for people to "man-up", that includes the fans...

Running away with it now. About time.

lol

Widnes have scored, the cue for some Wigan fans to wet their pants again....

OH MY GOD IT'S A DISGRACE

Shame on all you idiots who were panning Wane before. Absolutely clueless. Probably the same people who were saying Finch was useless and we were gonna finish out of top 5 after the defeat to Huddersfield. GET A GRIP!

This sounds like a great test for the youngsters..... Big crowd, lots of pressure, excellent...

Widnes in again. Need some composure!

Aye, Widnes have scored again. This is fantastic.

sounds like we are not defending very well.......

Sounds a great game and great atmosphere. Finch needs to really step up

Ahaha yeah, narrowly beating the worst team to ever grace SL, then back into the Reserves for next week. They'll definitely get loads of confidence from this.

15 min to go and 6 points clear to the whiping boys of SL. Ahh well at least if we lose the youngsters have had a good run out.

in again

they are in again!

First half, let a 12 point lead slip.

Second half, 18 point lead slipped.



Yeah, great decision this!

Widnes score again.

Shame on me for criticising Wane's team selection.

Nevermind the young ones got a game. Win or lose that is not important.

Apology accepted
