I am sure the same was said before we lost to Widnes away last season and also whether we have a top four spot or not people don't pay good money to watch reserve sides.

That is the paradox of our competition structure. We always get this notion of resting players but people would soon moan if we lost league matches as a result.

So far this season Wane hasn't repeated the Widnes mistake and has spelled players sensibly not leaving half the first team out. I don't see any reason why he needs to start doing that now.

Yet you'll be the first to criticise him and his team selections should we limp out the playoffs.

Crosby, Spencer and Hughes all playing for Leigh today according to Bilko on twitter.

Boooooooooommmmmmmm!

Don't forget the shirts.

Edited for accuracy..

If we played lots of youngsters again Wakefield and lost, i for one would not be complaining, I like to see young players blooded. The nature of the tournament is another issue.

Leigh are loosing 22-8 and only 5 minutes to go.

I didn't moan after Widnes and I wouldn't moan after a defeat tomorrow. I'd moan if a player whos in need of a rest picked up an injury though or if we're out on our feet come play off time.

All 3 of your boys had decent games today , we were missing our usual 6 and 7 today , and it showed , especially in the second half .

Spencer was outstanding, Hughes & Crosby very average IMO Charlie. Not a patch on Scott Taylor's efforts past couple weeks.

I suppose that is the issue with DR in all honesty. Guys like Hughes and Crosby have been playing well in massive games for Wigan this year and with all due respect, I just don't see the motivation being too high. To them it's pretty much an excerise of keeping fit.

Then we move on to guys like Spencer, Lloyd, Burke and even Taylor and they're a perfect fit for you and us under this system. They're making their way at Wigan still and have plenty to prove. They need to make an impression at Leigh to try and get some games back here. They are also unlikely to play more then the odd game for Wigan this year so will be available most weeks to Leigh which builds up that loyalty to your cause.

This DR system only works with a certain type of player IMO.
