This is the second screw up by Wane this season, a team not ready for Huddersfield and this really is a mistake to rank right up there with the best.

Did he not think what the ex Wigan connection people would think this morning, OK leave a couple out which was known to be Pat and Tommy but then to leave out Sam and Lockers is really saying to Widnes "you are no good and we can take you anytime" how would anyone react if they were treated with such contempt and arrogance?

When you hear that Stefan Marsh is sounding like a world beater it really is time to be a bit concerned, so well done Widnes and we got what we deserved. As said already, blooding young players is OK but what will this have done to their confidence, getting beat up by a team who have not looked like winning and if I am correct lost their last 7 matches last year and their first 5 this season.

He could have left out 2 today and 2 next week against London but to leave out 4 of your very best and most experienced players was madness and now of course he will have to play all 4 next week if fit, whereas spelling them in a logical manner would be perhaps OK. It is also not fair on the fans who pay to see the best team possible not some experiment, he has already done this in practice matches and hasn't learnt any lessons.

Let us hope he doesn't mouth off again about I will make the players suffer in training etc, accept your mistakes and admit you made a massive one today and learn from it, if not accept the consequences as anybody in any occupation who made a mistake like this would have to do.

Well if he does he will be risking the wrath of the fans.

We all want to see the youngsters come through but not like today.

Not playing the majority of the team he will play v Wire in the two games leading up to the fixture is stupid. The players match fitness soon drops off and they need to be clicking like a well oiled machine not coming back after two weeks rest for that game.

I think even if one of Pat, Tommy, Sam or Lockers played they we would have won.

That could be Widnes' only win of the season, because defensively they are shocking.

I actually do think we should still rest a few vs London, not to todays extremes though. We've got a heavy easter period coming up. I definately wouldnt play Mossop and Goulding.
Vs London I'd go:

Tomkins
Charnley
Gelling
Hughes
Richards
Finch
Mellor
Lima
McIlorum
Lauaki
Hansen
Hock
O'Loughlin

Prescott
Farrell
Tuson
Russell

The worst thing he could do is play a weak squad again next week. But I'm kind of expecting him to do it. I can't see Wane changing his mind because Fans don't agree with him and that could be his undoing. And if he now came out and admitted he got it wrong he would be putting himself in a vulnerable position.

I'll wait and see but this week will be very interesting to see what happens with the selection.

Why would SW be putting himself in a vulnerable position if he admits any errors, either by words or actions?

To my mind, he may regain respect in the eyes of fans by doing that. I agree with previous postings that there's unlikely to be so many changes (barring injuries etc.) two weeks on the trot prior to, on past evidence what will be a very physical and intense meeting with Warrington.....never mind the Easter period.
