Quote: Ste100Centurions "I thought it hugely disrespectful of Wane to go so weak in that 2nd half.
Ok, I understand that he has to/wants to blood his young lads & give them game time to assess where they are at but, who wants to see that level of disparity ?
TBF to your young lads they didn't lack effort & likely some will go on to have great careers in RL, don't think Wigan take many average kids, but there is the word, kids, really men v boys 2nd half.
While it will always be more important to us Leigh fans, in the cold light of day I am left wondering if we *Leigh* should scrap this annual fixture.
Does this result give 'some' false confidence to Leigh & will it damage the confidence of your academy/fringe players ?
Maybe DB should give Wire or Saints a call about next years friendlies *yes I do think Leigh will survive*.
Genuinely interested in the perspective of Wigan fans who attended today.'"
Basically, you can't be bloody serious.
It's hardly an 'annual fixture'. It's a pre-season 'run out' that suits both clubs because they're near to each other.
I very much doubt anyone would even blink if you decided to cancel it.
To take offence like this - to claim that it somehow damages your prospects, and then to finish with a veiled threat to go to Saints or Wire instead is such a typical Leigh response that it's untrue.
These aren't called warm-up games for nothing, matey (and Leigh are only one of several from Wigan's POV). They have one purpose: to get the stiffness out of the players's joints. Aside from that, they literally have no importance whatsoever.
