This! In fact I thought it was obvious and everyone understood this to be the case. Seemingly not. Hampshire has been the one positive to come out of recent games against Saints, HKR and Hudds. Granted he's had a couple of errors in each game, but that's what he's being played for: to get that experience. I'd actually be happy for him to play on including the "big" games.

Whilst I would broadly agree and have posted very similar recently, there is a balancing act which Wane risks getting wrong (may already have got wrong, in fact). He has to balance this year's progress with next year's prospects. What's the point in sacrificing a trophy in 2013 so that we have a better chance of success in 2014? It doesn't make sense.



The other balancing act is knowing how much BS the fans are prepared to swallow. Most people accept that it's good sense to rest important players for big games and will happily swallow the lines about 24 hr bugs when we are playing Widnes et al. But when those big games come and another line is served up the fans start to feel that the club is acting unscrupulously.

I talked to a few different Wigan fans last night and a couple said they have heard he is nursing an injury and they are worried about him ( suggestion was a/ Hamstring or B/ Knee.



Concerned about his fitness for the rest of the season i think.



Which is a pity a great player to watch and and a really good advocate for the sport his schools section on Boots n all showed him in a really positive light.

so we have had a 24 hour bug,followed by a back spasm.next week whats the betting,i will go with an ingrowing big toenail.

I am going with Lost Passport Syndrome.

New Zealand flu !

Weil's Disease

As he is supposedly a "Warrington fan" it's more likely to be Vile's Disease

I think if he's fit he should be playing. No resting or testing out other players.



We're going to struggle to win anything without him next year. Might as well make the most of him while he's here.

SW - enough is enough, full strength team from here on in.



Lets get a bit of momentum for the CC and try and hot the play offs with some decent form.



Lets put the FB problem away till next year, we can bed someone in early doors and use the off season too

Sudden allergy to onions and garlic, coupled with a phobia of Snails and Frogs (legs)?

(It's amazing what a touch of food poisoning can do to someone )



I agree with others, it has to be a Full Stength squad every week from now on.

Otherwise, we go from a potential of 3 trophies (we're now down to 2), to winning nowt, and after the start we had to the season, thats unforgiveable.

I know we got 5 from 5 in 1994! I know what he means though!
