The club should have played 4 or 5 first team squad players. I would have gone if they had, it was just a pointless run out. If academy players want a pre season friendly they should play other academy teams.
This was a friendly that should not even have been listed as a pre season game as there was no first team squad content, and no hint as to preseason form.

who are the 4/5 first team sqaud players you would of played then?

they all played thursday night at wigan

Beats me when it's men against boys, the boys persisted in playing down the middle Jon Sharp style!

My thoughts exactly - when we did spread the ball around we looked a lot better - in difficult conditions. Our first try was a good un - 10/10 for tenacity and effort by our guys throughout. Difference was Mennell and Black for me showing their experience and pulling their team in to good scoring positions.

Any 4/5 that did not play the full 80 mins.
Or forward thinking, we could have saved 4/5 from Thurs night and put those from Sunday in on Thurs night, as Wigan had a mainly academy side out. That would have made more sense.
