Oh dear.

Big lesson so far today you play your best players and blood 1 youngster at a time and most of the best players you have available.. Not take a side for granted and risk losing it.

Horrific. To rest every single playmaker apart from Finch is just asking for trouble.

It's not even half time guys, chill...

Agreed.

Can't you see that this is an investment in the future!!!!

Lot of knees jerking here. We were 2 points down at half time last week to a much better team than Widnes. That turned out ok didn't it? Don't panic!

All I can say is Wane has got this horribly wrong! There's a reason Maguire always played the strongest squad available, you can't take any team for granted in this competition I hope Wane learns from what could be a very costly lesson!

5 games into a new season and you rest your 4 best players.

awful awful decision by Wane.

Our last two coaches always stuck with the experienced players and many moaned. Now we get a coach who will give youth a chance and everyones still moaning.

I'm all for blooding new players I think that's great but at risk of losing a game we should be winning that's terrible judgement by Wane, if we played just one youth prospect of the bench today I would have been satisfied.

We need to compose ourselves and stop trying to push every pass when we get infront.

The Widnes crowd are like an extra man and were giving them a leg back in the game time and again.

Tough second half from here. I think we need the first score. On a plus note the best player on the field is a Wigan player.....Steffan Marsh! He's killed us so far.

Sorry i thought MM gave ppl like Tomkins, Charnley, Goulding, MM and others there chance. Might have been in another universe though or dimension to you

Its 1 thing to give youth a chance and get them on the bench or play them in the CC against a side from the lower division. We are 5 games into a season and resting so many when we could have blown them away in the first 60 minutes and then you could play the younger players. 2 points is 2 points.

People moaned about senior players who where playing well bellow par being picked constistantly ahead of promising youth prospects. NO ONE has ever moaned about Russell not being picked ahead of Tomkins.

There needs to be a happy balance. It was originally thought that only Richards and Tommy were to be rested, I thought that was sufficient. When bringing new players in it should be done gradually. This could really bite us, look at the difference between Wire and Wigan last season...one point.
