Has to be more to it than that. Charnley was far from the worst performer in Sydney

If Wane thought Charnley had a bad game would love to hear his views on a few others.......

I've heard he fancy's 1 more week off playing opposite the beast darn lane....

on another note he was from what I saw one of the better performers in the WCC
got to be more in this

I think the fact that Bowen, Goulding, Dudson, Hughes etc didn't play yesterday probably says a lot.

I've yet to watch the game back since returning from Sydney but I don't recall him doing too much wrong. It hurts to say it but they were stronger, faster, better skilled and more organised than us. You could have stuck an in-form Lesley Vainikolo on that wing and we would still have got thrashed. I suspect there must be something more behind this

apart from the 2nd half in the grand final i don't think charnley has played well since widnes at home last season. Clear as day light said he was shopping him self around in the NRL and i can't remember the last time he took a player on with out surrendering, he is capable of a lot more ansi think thats the point shaun is taking.

But Charnley is the only one that Wane has confirmed as being dropped, the others were 'rested'?

Wand hasn't publicly spoken about any of the others who were rested/dropped. Maybe he was getting a little big for his boots and needed bringing down a peg or two.

When we played Huddersfield at home during that period he scored one of the best tries I've ever seen, beating 3 men in the process

Really don't understand that. I don't think he did any worse than any of the other players in the WCC. Surely it's something else in addition to this as there were plenty of players who didn't perform to their potential. Or as someone said, maybe he's getting a bit too big for his boots. I've only met him once, but he did seem a bit cocky (however I could be completely off the mark with this comment).

Charnleys appalling missed tackle on Jennings for their first try was bad enough to be made to sit out a game but he didn't do a great deal wrong after that.

You do have to wonder if it's something off the field that has annoyed Wane a little. It's going to be very interesting to see if he makes the team at Cas this weekend. The two young lads did a fine job yesterday but going up against a beast like Justin Carney will be a totally different challenge.

Maybe it's something to do with Charnley's agent allegedly making a public statement about wanting to use the WCC to help secure Josh a big contract with another club?

I know Wigan tend not to officially comment on things like - very, very annoying though they are - but perhaps Waney's decided it's time someone registered their disapproval.

I know I would.

No problems with this whatsoever. If Josh is starting to believe his own hype I guess this is SW's way of bringing him back down to Earth a bit and remind him he needs to keep working hard, similar to when Briscoe was selected ahead of him for England. And with 2 excellent prospects on the wing chomping at the bit then why not.

There were obviously a few poor performances in Sydney, but the bad miss on Jennings within the first 5 minutes did set the tone for the first half when we needed to keep it tight and go toe-to-toe with them.
