Didnt Widnes have more first team players missing?

There was nothing wrong with the team selection when we were 18 points up. Somebody has to give Widnes some credit for hanging in and sneaking the win.

Why did Finch try to offload on the 1st tackle with a minute to go 10 yards from the Widnes line? He was captain and one of the more experienced players.

Poor decision from him, as was Charnleys kick straight into touch after ta Widnes try.
Those along with a few stupid penalties conceded were not the coaches fault.

If there are any referees on here, what is the ruling regarding stopping the game after a head injury? It certainly cost Wigan when Goulding was down for about five tackles.

you could understand resting players towards the end of the season, but after 1 month do they honestly need a rest.

well done widnes, wane got what he deserved, disrespect for widnes and also the wigan fans.

Whilst Wane is doing a fine job elsewhere, he should be looking to publically apologise to the RFL, Wigan Fans and Widnes Vikings.

Didn't Saints do something similar a few years back when they deliberately fielded an understrength team

I keep getting this feeling of deja vu.
If, in the long run, Wigan's star players are fresher later in the season and the youngsters whoplayed today have gained valuable experience, then it will have been worthwhile even though we lost. At least we didn't lose to Wire, Leeds or Saints. And let's remeber that Leeds won from 5th when Wigan, who finished second, looked tired last season.

Resting players en-mass in this game will have no effect on their fitness toward the end of the season. It would have been an easy game for them to play in and hardly up there with a game v Wire.

The youngsters won't have benefited either. Young players benefit by being introduced one at a time into an experienced team playing alongside the established players not being chucked in all together and then going on to lose a game.

Clubs are still supposed to play their best sides (though the rule is slightly different than it used to be) and there are good reasons reason for that one of which includes not ripping off the fans by putting weakened sides out. If Wane has the RFL to answer to he ought not to be surprised.

Wane got the job with a lot of goodwill from many fans myself included but if he carries on making stupid mistakes like this he will use it up very quickly.

There is only one reason we lost and that was Wane's stupidity.

There isn't a game Wigan play were mistakes are not made so highlighting those above is irrelevant.

Also saying there was nothing wrong with that selection when we were 18 points up is completely daft. It's the final result that counts not how we were going at some arbitrary point in the game. How many league points did being 18 in front get us in the end?

We lost the game because Wane put an inexperienced side out and we both know it.

From what I could see he deliberately threw the ball away to try to win the penalty. He realised Widnes hands were on the ball so just flicked it forwards to make it look like it was ripped out. It was just daft.

He made two great individual breaks but on the whole I was disappointed with Finch. His passing was a bit wayward and his kicking was very poor, and I can't honestly say he showed much leadership or encouragement. McIlorum and Goulding seemed to be the only players trying to show some enthusiasm.

Also disappointed with him storming off down the tunnel too. It's a bit pathetic.

However, I'm not one for personal abuse on forums but anyone who actually thinks Shaun Wane should be sacked is an absolute moron and should not be allowed to watch rugby league again until they get their head tested. What a joke of a thread.
