The couple of players coming back from injury he mentions are probably Carmont and Richards.
The defeat could cost us as that's two points dropped against a team who will play Wire three time in the League. That six points in the bag for Wire. Best we could have hoped for was four, now it's two. Wire will no doubt do their points diff some good in the process of their three wins. Tony Smith, nor any other coach, will rest that number of players after seeing Wigan's result.
As almost everyone else has said, rest players by all means in one's and two's but not five at one time!

But then it comes back to an issue where finishing 1st or finishing 4th is much the same. Yes it would be nice to be top at the end of the year but in reality it means little. I won't go down the route some do and start saying look at Leeds winning it from 5th because that is harder and I think that will be more a one off then the norm but the facts are finishing first isnt the be all and end all.
It was 2 points dropped Sunday and it could cost us a place or 2 in the table but I'm fully confident we'll finish in the top 4 and that will be job done. If one of the rested lads from Sunday comes up with a piece of magic in the play offs or ideally the Grand Final Shaun Wane may just point back to days like Sunday.
