Just asking your opinions thats all, I see Wigan see you as the whipping boys, resting all there key players. This is why we will never do anything internationally as our standard is not intense every week

ALL?

Widnes are also without their key players -- Watts, Moore, Cross, Kavanagh, -- but just looking at the score, I realise we won, and our youngsters did well against your youngsters.

No doubt the Wigan first teamers missing will be mentioned whilst our list won't get a word.

Unfortunately the case.

Pretty much as soon as the whistle was blown all talk was on the players Wigan were missing and it was coming from the media and the club, not just the fans.

Favourites for the league and they can't rely on their squad? They can't rest three key players against the bottom team? We've been given credit in certain quarters but it's been with an emphasis on the "but". Well, we can only beat who is in front of us and Wigan's squad is supposed to be strong enough to win the league. We were missing more key players than they were arguably and were relying on a brand new half back partnership and two debutants with no recent experience.

We get our first win of the season and some of our tries were brilliant and it's still all about Wigan and what they failed to do.

Hopefully thats not the only 2 points you get this season can't see any other team resting all there players

Or indeed having some of their first choice players injured at the same time, like Watts, Moore. Ah Van, Dean and Kavanagh.

The coach selects the team and the opposition play that team. In fact, players like Russell and Murphy had good games.

I thought you would have learnt by now,especially if Eddie and co analyse
a game,its not the opposition played well,it was the fact Leeds /Wigan played badly.
