I’d like to see our strongest side out all the time BUT reality dictates that squad rotation is key to a successful season.
That being said it still is a strong side.

It should be a hungry side as well with guys like Escare, Hamlin and Ganson desperate to impress.

If Widnes had a full team to pick from then I'd be non to happy with the squad selection but as it is they've been dropping like flies so its a fairly safe time to perhaps rest a few, normally though wherever possible you should try and play your best team in my opinion.
Time though for Widnes to put proper grass back down rather than that rubbish they force teams to play on, they won't of course but safe to say this spectator isn't a fan of the plastic grass.

Hoping for not a season ending ACL injury this year. Gregson and Sharrocks have suffered last 2 years

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Agree, but to be fair the Cas pitch has been even more of a "killer" to us with injuries over the past two or three years. |

They’re putting a new pitch down at the end of this season but it will still be artificial. Hopefully it’s better then the one they currently have. |

| Quote: Singing Warrior "I'm probably in a minority of one on here but I don't agree that this is a good idea. I think we should, unless injured, play our best team at all times. We came a cropper at Widnes not so long ago because of playing a weakened team and we didn't actually have it all our own way when we played them at home a few weeks ago.'"
Some squad rotation is inevitable but I think Wane has gone overboard here. It's not just about resting players but how who you leave out affects the team's ability to play to the game plan. I can see some sense in not playing Joel. His knees are knackered and it's the plastic pitch but I am surprised at the others. Particularly Faz. He's a really key player in terms of our attack and is the source of many of the breaks we make. |

Yeah, I'm all for giving Escaré a game, but I'm surprised Faz has been left out.

Weirdly Phil Wilkinson has said Wane mentioned Joel may be brought back in the squad and play yet. |

SW has explained on Wigan TV why certain players won’t play.
ST - foot injury
Flower - Achilles injury from last season, not worth aggravating it on the Ipitch
Bateman- illness
Sarginson - Back spasm
All plausible reasons and it’s sensible not to risk anyone unnecessarily. We’re going well but there’s a long way to go yet and I’d rather we had a full strength side out in the GF play offs than at Widnes in April.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |
