Quote: gray "The gamble to rest so many players has backfired big time. Letting Stefan Marsh play and score against us was rubbing salt into the wound. It was the proverbial "bannana skin".
If we were playing Wire or Saints would we have done the same, would we hell. Why did they need resting anyway, only 5 games into the season.
Yes, the young lads do need blooding into the first team but one or two at a time, not four debutants all at once and in key positions. Compared to Widnes we do have a big squad but we already had three senior players out in Carmont, Fielden and Prescott. Resting another five seriously weakened the squad.
It smacks of arrogance, shows a lack of respect to the opposition and was tactically naive.
Instead of being top we are now 3rd and if Leeds and Cats win their games in hand[size we are potentially 5th[/size.
Nil out of ten for decision making I'm afraid Shaun.'"
That bit .
5th is acceptable
but I'd prefer 1st .
Well done to your young lads by the way. By most accounts they put in a good effort against a team of far more experienced players . Losing a game to the new boys ain't the end of the world , but I am thankful that is was you and not us that were the first victims .
