Quote Wigan Peer="Wigan Peer"The Stains board is hilarious at the moment.. And St Pete has given one possible reason why Stains lost... And i quote...
"I've just posted on another thread how the Easter fixtures are tough unless your Wigan and it's crazy having the cc the week after Easter.
Wigan rested players against London last week for Good Friday. They can rest players at home to the bulls on Monday and then rest players against another championship side the week after Easter. Also add the championship side they played two week a go.
The RFL have been very kind to Wigan over the busy Easter period. Why other teams are preparing for two local derby games in four days then cc the following week, Wigan have had the chance to rest players for a month."
It's the RFL's fault...'"
Haha hook line and sinker.
No excuse from me for the loss on Good Friday. I could go thru the game and say I thought this and I thought that or SOL Should have been sent off or mm was biting etc etc Eric but as I've said, we was beaten by the better team on the day.
However, I do feel Wigan have had a easy pre and post Easter which certainly helps. Easter is the toughest part of the season playing so many games in short space and with them being derby games adds to the intensity if the game.
It's the planning and player management over Easter which is the struggle and it's pretty clear Wigan have this year had a easy pre/post Easter
Saints - Hudds (a), Cas (a), Wigan (h), Widnes (a), Leeds (a).
Wigan - dewsbury (a), London (h), saints (a), bulls (h) and Hunslet (h).
So basically you can rest players 4 out of the 5 games pre/post Easter.
