The club should allow the U19s to play in the Semi Final
With nothing to play for some of the senior players will rack the cue and mentally go on their holidays, that’s just a natural human trait and like it or not it’ll happen. That accepted, what value is there for Wardle, Senior & Russell in playing in such a game Vs playing in a tense meaningful knock out match against a fired up Wigan Academy?
In terms of development alone the Academy game offers more to these players than an inconsequential Super League game. Then there’s the prestige that may come the clubs way if a full strength Giants Academy go to Wigan and win!
