| Quote: Jukesays "The reality is whichever team plays less of their potential 1st team has less to lose if it develops into a bit of Biff or HIA's and injuries come into the reckoning
As it stands (and from what I heard even before the squad was announced from a Wire player source), Warrington will have "Less to lose" from that scenario than Wigan
However
My opinion has and always will be "play the game" that's in front of you to win
What I mean by that is thinking too much about what ifs, worrying about what ifs, making plans for what ifs can lead to over thinking and counter productive outcomes
Fair enough if a player is carrying a niggle then rest him especially if you have a good alternative
Fair enough (as in Farrells case) he's played every minute of every game and at some point due to the minutes per player rule tour going to have to rest at some point it may as well be this game
But, resting for resting can also bring its problems and issues, and those issues may be months down the track when your 2pts or points difference behind in the leage when you then can't rest players that need it because you need wins that could have been picked up earlier in the season
The coaches will have their own priorities
Peet will know what Wigan need to do for the this week, next week and to give them the best chance at the end of the year
I'll back his and the teams decisions with regard to tomorrow irrespective of "What ifs" down the line'"
I fully agree. Sport is about winning and we need to do that tomorrow and at Wembley. The coaches know better than anybody what makes these lads tick. The competition intensifies tomorrow in my view, there are still spots to be had in the 17 that will play at Wembley. I believe that if Wigan produce their ‘A’ game then they win irrespective of any other factors so it is up to Matt et al to make sure that they are ready to perform at their best, if that means resting players or playing our strongest team and risk injuries then so be it. I have no doubt that we will be in for a really tough game at Wembley but at least we will be battle hardened. By the way, Wire have 16 start tomorrow on the coupon, it was originally scratch and Schofield predicted that the home team would win by 8.

I think it was an attempt to let Wire get some points on the board by putting us down a man, to try and make a contest of it, but the officials had no choice but to be consistent when the second incident occurred.'"

| Well, we are getting into a pickle whoever is to blame. Was Cooper's tackle even a penalty? TBF the VR called for the card so not Kendall's "fault". The Dufty one was a pen as a swinging arm hit the shoulder and ended up head high - a yellow could have been given or not but the occasion meant it was guaranteed.

| What I'm not clear about, and I'd appreciate other posters' thoughts, is was it Kendall or Liam Moore, the VR, who actually made the decisions to card Cooper (and Dufty)? Does the VR overrule the on-field ref?

VR can advise the on field ref but it’s the on field who makes the final decision. That’s said, if I were a ref and the Vr with the benefit of replays advised me to send someone off I would do it.
JD said in commentary that he heard the Vr advised for the Cooper yellow, not sure about the other.

| Thanks, that what I thought. As has been mentioned, if the BBC commentators had shut up, we might have been able to hear what Kendall was saying! Certainly Kendall didn't seem to want to do anything initially about Cooper. And then, having carded Cooper, it put a different light on the Dufty situation.
I've been away for the last couple of days and still haven't watched the game back yet. Hoping to get to it shortly.
