Why did wigan drop 5 players for this game when they obviously cant do it from now till the end of the season, because the reserves will be in the play offs they were the better team by far on fri because of the reserves how does this make the players that have been "dropped" feel
Have to agree with you here, Wigan had dropped reserve players down and this is what sometimes makes the competition unfair, especially for those players who may have played all season and then are sidelined for one particular game. It should be about player development, not about win at all costs. Often the Gillette Academy is unfair as you never know which team you will face from week to week and each team should play each other home and away, as some teams have stiffer competition by playing perhaps the top teams twice and others only have to play them once. No disrepect meant to any team here. But Wakefield played Harlequins twice home and away, whilst other teams only play them once. Like I said no disrepect mean to Harlequins they are young side and will obviously improve, the other teams have more experienced players and players they can drop down hence what happened to your Cas lads this week...........
should be an interesting game, 2nd v 3rd.
I guess it's a good job the Academy dont't have salary caps. What's next for Wigan? Sign Stanley Gene and give him a fake passport so he can play for the academy side.
