Not giving Widnes any credit for today's victory?

Angry here too, massive mistake by Wane, how much more incentive did Widnes need, so many ex Wiganers at the club including coach and assistant, surely Wane would have known how they would have been fired up anyway, really looking forward to his post match comments, well done Widnes well deserved, but what an embarrassment on our part, huge mistake Shaun, HUGE mistake, let's hope this doesn't come back to haunt us in a few months, angry of Wigan!

An opportunity to go top of the league and post a serious points difference thrown away. I'm all for giving the youngsters an opportunity but not all at once. Leaving so many experienced players out at once is asking for trouble. Let's hope we don't live to regret it at the end of the season.

Yes, have a quick look at the post 3 above yours.



Widnes played well for them, but it was Wane's decision that settled the game.

Just been listening to S Wane on the radio. He says the team he put out he was 100% sure it was good enough to beat Widnes. He is gutted and won't sleep tonight. He said Wigan didn't play well enough they should have won. I think that he greatly uner-estimated Widnes.

didnt make it today, and apart from the obvious disappointment at the result, i was wondering how the youngsters looked?

For me some understandable nerves, but promising going forward. Looked weak in defence, due to inexperience. They probably could have used some stronger leadership.

I agree he underestimated Widnes and the team was weakened too much but, TBF, if Charnley had put that penalty over we [iwould[/i have won and we'd all have been discussing the lucky escape. SW wasn't [ithat[/i far off in his assessment. In the end, a highly-motivated Widnes side sneaked a 1-point win over a very disrupted team filled with youngsters, with a drop goal.



We've found out Matty Russell is going to be very handy for when, as many want, Tomkins goes to 6; we've found out that Mellor needs more first team game time if we want him to step up when Finch leaves. We've found out that five simultaneous changes to introduce youngsters is pretty much suicidal.

carry on

A highly motivated Widnes team missing the top try scorer, both first choice half backs, their two starting props and a smattering of first team players.

True enough (even if 'top try scorer' is only relative

), but still a win by a point - and could still have been a loss by a point if Charnley had put the penalty over.

Looks like my fears became true!.....



Beaten by the better team on the day, and Widnes deserve credit for managing to come back from 12 points down to get level at half time to then come back from an 18 point deficit to win in the second half.. It's disappointing that that the players let the lead slip like that.



And all those people who are deciding that it doesn't matter that we lost if it means young players are being challenged.... what will your opinions be if come the end of the season we miss out on the top of the league by one point? something which could cost us a big advantage come play off time?...
