I'm pretty sure he does it just to give people on fans forums, who feel they have some supposed moral high ground something to whine about....

I'd argue that we did at Cas away and Catalans away last year, and Liam Farrell admitted they did during the WCS game this year.

What would have happened had Wigan refused to field a team based on medical reasons?



Has this happened before?



From the interview with Radlinski it seems we had plenty of evidence to show that players and staff were suffering from a virus, surely there is an argument to say that playing on with a virus would actually cause more damage to the health of the players?



Are there any benefits of fielding a team in these circumstances?

Alternatively I'm pretty sure he does it just to give his own people on fans forums some sort of excuse to defend the abject display of their team, ironically it's not the fans of the team what humiliated you what's taking the high ground, we knew you had injuries and were just grateful for the points. Perhaps a new trend has been set now where when a team loses it releases a video listing possible excuses as the cause

Why don't you just give it up, mate?



We get it. You won. Whoopee. The world turns.



Your team's had all the praise it's going to get, and no matter how hard you try, no Wigan fan is going to admit that being short of 10 first-teamers was no handicap.



So why don't you just put your win behind you and start looking for the next one? It's a long season.

You got to be Wigan for a day and we played the cameo of a team very well, roles reversed perfectly. Enjoy it, enjoy the middle 8's and good luck staying up.

I fear that I must now have chickenpox or measles. Those self same "fans" now appear to be avoiding me again!!

Its nice to see the pig-headed arrogance doesn't stop with Mr Wane. Enjoy watching your 4-5 men 'laying on in the tackle' robots, it must be fun.

Mash come on fella you have to admit if Wigan had not had sickness going through the camp and one small training session and 8 first teasers out you would have scored 62 still past Wigan Warriors at full strength..... Have a word lad it's one game give your head a wobble

If he wobbles that head, the rattle will deafen us all....

Out of everyone in this thread the arrogance is coming from you. Wakey won their 'cup final', Wigan on the other hand will now concentrate on getting to actual cup finals.



When's the open top bus parade btw?

All the noise I heard come from Wigan was about how we'd have struggled to get a win with a full team out. We were missing ten players and many others were struggling with a virus but Waley were brilliant and showed no mercy. They've been on the wrong end of plenty of scores like that and it was their turn so fair play.



They can't seriously think they'd win 62-0 on a normal Sunday afternoon against Wigan with all things being equal though? That isn't arrogant to point that it but is just based on recent history. If they do and they could have then they'll certainly be challenging for all the trophies this year.
