| Quality strength in depth. They've rotated their side twice and got flogged twice.

Isn't our cup final next week why your boys have a breather and regroup?

Exactly. Any Wigan fan who says they would have swapped the cup last year for the shield is deluded imo.
Similarly, anyone who says they'd rather lift a trophy on Sept 7th than Oct 6th is equally as deluded.'"
Last season I wouldn't have swapped the cup for anything. That's simply because we hadn't won it at Wembley in over a decade.
This season I've always said the CC is the bottom of my list tho. Its not what it was and winning it last year was OK but meant nothing when we lost our title.
I'd take our current situation now over Wires any day as I don't think anyone wins the double anymore. We saw our season fall apart this time last year and with the ultimate respect to Wire history points to that same fate for them.
A week off to collect ourselves, then a possible trophy presentation vs Saints at home to boost moral isn't a bad place to make a shot at the gf from.
Last week & the CC will mean nothing if we win at old traff

This has to be the concern, its been shown over the last few years, its damn tough to double up for the GF and CC.
Poor show from us tonight, those on the fringe have hardly played themselves into a Wembley shirt. Good show from Broncos

| Warrington's record after beating Wigan over the last few years:
2012
Lost to Saints & London
2011
Lost to Catalans, Beat Hull
2010
Lost to Catalans
1 win out of 5 after they beat Wigan. Interesting.

I would take the GF or CC over the shield every day of the week and it appears that Tony Smith and Wire would too.

| The SL is fast losing what little remains of its credibility as a serious competition.
Yes many clubs struggle after playing Wigan, in what is inevitably their biggest game of the season, but this heavy defeat for Wire is a joke.
Is there any point in the regular rounds any more? Does the competition have any integrity?
Yet another low for RL.
Will the RFL do anything about this? Of course not. Wire have a wealthy backer and the RFL are spineless and utterly incompetent.

Absolutely, and if the situation was reversed, I'd want our big guns rested too.
Not that I'm not enjoying this mind...

You hit the nail on the head, but as a supporter, I would have hoped we'd have kept the pressure on top spot until the death. Ah well, pick ourselves up, dust down and go again next week. There'll be bigger games to play over the coming weeks for most clubs!
