With the Vikings downing the Pies does this mean Wigan are on the Wane?

Just a quick update for those who will read this and spout things like ''CAN'T BELIEVE WIGANERS ON RLFANS ARE CALLING FOR WANE TO BE SACKED!''

After 12 pages, I can confirm that the one and only person in the thread calling for Wane to be sacked is the original poster.

At the end of the day it was our U20's side that went and lost to a SL team by 1 point.

I hadn't realised that Charnley, Finch, Lima, McIlorum, Mossop, Hansen, Hock, Lauaki and Tuson are in your 20's side. No wonder you keep winning Grand Finals.

Don't you know that if 1 Wigan fan says something then we "ALL" said it!

Was just thinking the same thing myself so well said - he may have got it wrong on this occasion but its not a hanging offence and we can all put money on it not happening again!

didnt we all say that after the opening game of the season, 5 games ago, though?

at the end of the day the team wane put out was a good enough team on the day, they were obviously outplayed on the day even if it was just by a point.

what i dont get is why wane says he needed to rest players 6 games in?! REALLY annoyed me that. they get paid a shedload more than i do and all they have to do is keep themselves fit. i work 40 hour weeks and manage to do it. if they are unfit drop them to the u20s, dont rest them like primadonnas.

and for me, this season is going to be a steep learning curve for wane. i'll be surprised and very happy if we make it to any semi-finals at all.

Don't think that changing your RLFANS username over the last 24hrs will allow you to hide from your previous persona (and respective posts).

I've just read for the umpteenth time something to the effect of Wane 'disrespecting' Widnes. This sort of modern day term comes from those half baked numpties sat in front of the box watching Jeremy Kyle with nowt else to do.

Wane didn't show a lack of respect to anyone. He simply made a mistake albeit a big one at that. Blooding four youngsters was probably two or three too many and just goes to show that you can't do that sort of thing even against the basement club. We do need to test the young lads, they need to be able to step in when the call comes. It needs to be one at a time like we have done with Jack Hughes.

We should have seen the game out in the second half when we were eighteen points to the good and I'm sure we would have done with our rested players on the pitch.

As has just been mentioned, Shaun Wane is on a steep learning curve. It's a big step up to being the main man. He'll make other mistakes, that's for sure but I don't think he'll make one again like yesterdays.

Oh, and as for Wane must go, get a grip. Where were the calls for his head after we had relatively easily beaten both Leeds and Catalan?

Credit to Widnes for both raising their game and taking advantage of an unexpected opportunity that came their way.
