He's not played u18s or Reserves for ages. Not since the last origin game. I'm guessing he is hurt.

Laidlaw and Severs didnt play for the u18s today but both were there and neither had a broken wrist as was rumoured. I'd expect to see them both tomorrow.

wigan and especially sts do this every year and get away with it.one time of day,you got charged with bringing the game into disrepute and got heavily fined for fielding an a team.cheats both of them.

ileague structure doesnt help,both wigan and sts would have turned out full strength teams today if they were fighting to finish top and become champions.our stupid game would sooner make finishing top a minor event and prefer calling the team who wins a 3 round knockout cup champions.what a joke our game is.

They aren't cheating as it's within the rules. I guess they have earned the right to rest players.

What it shows though is the ridiculous play-off structure. Wigan basically gave up any chance of finishing top as they know that there is no benefit in finishing 1st over finishing 2nd.

See Navarette has picked up a ban for the headbutt on longstaff? I think it was, yet again an act of foul play isn't punished in the game, instead someone else will benefit from the suspension.

Right in front of the ref and linesman as well. Would have been crucial in a close game.

It was Longstaff. He got his retribution shortly afterwards. Within the rules.
