I agree with you. You win find most on here are going nuts about what has happened.

So do i, i am totally disgusted to think that my club could do that today against another professional outfit and expect to get away with it, and also take the mickey out of the travelling support

Re: Disrespect : Sun Mar 11, 2012 4:48 pm  

I agree - although its important to remember it was only O'Loughlin and Tomkins who were actually rested. And I anticipate Wane will say they had knocks in the post match interview.

Re: Disrespect : Sun Mar 11, 2012 4:49 pm  

You blood youngsters one at a time. Wane has probably dented confidence in the youngsters not built it. Complete love up on wanes part and I hope post match he apologies to widnes, the kids and the fans

Fine? What for? Bringing through british talent or utilising a squad?

Re: Disrespect : Sun Mar 11, 2012 4:51 pm  

To be fair although Wane arguably shown disrespect it sounded like Russell had a decent game on the radio

Giving youngsters a game is fine. Targeting opposition that haven't yet won in the league for introducing youngsters is fine. Choosing a side made up of first-team squad members is also fine, and shouldn't incur any penalty from the RFL.

If not forced into it by injury, then leaving out two of your three most potent playmakers (Leuluai, Sam), the captain and on-field core of the defensive line (O'Loughlin), your trusted pressure place-kicker (Pat), all at the same time to introduce those youngsters is always risky, and was clearly a misjudgement today.

Really, the upshot of that game is that it's two 'safe' points lost, and a bitter lesson regarding team selection. I'd be amazed if SW makes the same mistake again. Those two points may not matter come the end of the season, but I reckon everyone would rather have them than not.

Can't disagree with that assessment.
