wont happen...full strength v Hudds, rest lots v Catalan
I have faith in the team, we will turn it on at wembley.

Exactly. Hampshire is showing huge promise and should be getting as much game time as possible (and I for one enjoy watching him play).

I'm actually surprised at how many people say they "refuse" to go or even renew their ST because Wane rests players. It's a bit pathetic if you ask me. Sam Tomkins isn't an entertainer who should be there on tap to entertain your kids! He's a full time athlete who is part of a [iteam[/i in a long, three-pronged competition. Take a look at yourselves!

Take a look at the fixtures for the business end of the season and you will see why this season compared with last season, the Coaching Staff have utilised their large squad to prevent burn out when it matters.

Exactly like Man Utd have done for many season's and it has never done them any harm where success is concerned.

100 % agree.

These guys who are threatening to stay away are just non-entities grandstanding.

Sam is a great player who we miss sorely, but he isn't the whole Wigan RL story.

The Wigan squad is actually in very good nick, and the youngsters now being blooded are going to be big news for us in the very near future.

I wonder if these I'll stay away fans thought the same when Shaun Edwards never played the week before Wembley?

Wane has to look at his options
a) If we get injuries
b) for next season

I suspect we'll see a full strength team v Hudds and a LOT rested for Catalan.

I think this is the way it is nowadays with a few teams.
We all see the weekly rounds as a 'non starter' and it comes down to the play offs as a measure of a teams season, so resting players at this point of the season is what us and you guys have the luxury of been able to do.
It's good to see the future of our clubs in the 1st team
And as for not renewing season tickets on the back of this is a poor poor excuse!

The moving of games across thurs fir sat sun mon will impact more on season ticket sales than the coach resting the squad to try to win silverware

We took off Holdsworth, Tickle, and Ellis after 60 minutes on Friday when the game was won.

A tough top of the table clash against Hudds will result in a few players picking up knocks and will therefore not be risked at Catalans.

I imagine the same will happen after the Humberside derby next week

Precisely. I like most am disappointed not to see Sam play as he is a once in a generation player and all that. However, I don't believe this has or will influence season ticket sales. Constantly chopping and changing the fixture list most certainly will.
