Wigan fan in peace....

I'm led to believe four of your under 20s currently have infected abrasions on the knees; obviously people are linking this to the iPitch. Personally I've played Wendyball on Astro, the solution then was to wear skins. I'm sure your players will do the same soon enough if they aren't already.

Best of luck for the rest of the season, would love you to be in the press for the right reasons icon_smile.gif

Could have possibly but like you said, the solution is to wear skins. A handful of Salford players decided to wear leg and arm skins and i have no problem in that.

Thanks for the good luck messages, we're going to need it big time with our injuries and team icon_wink.gif

We started off at 4/5 to finish bottom, already we're now 1/7

Surely they should just "man-up"?

Good idea for Wakey that making a bit of money out of the situation to be fair.

Though your poster boy being a loanee sucks a bit icon_lol.gif

Was there a lot of snow and ice in Widnes this week? Can't think why else your u20's play in full length skins.

Ask them it's up to each individual what they do.

It is interesting though that U20's do tend to wear some whereas first team don't!

There wasn't a single first teamer from out side wearing protective clothing yesterday. Proof enough for me that it isn't an issue. As enough people said on here in the past. It's our players playing on it every week so if there were still grazes and burns happening then surely our own players would be covered head to toe.

Not wanting to get into a slanging match about the ipitch, I was wondering is Widnes poor start partly because of the ipitch and that it is a major disadvantage to them?

From the games and footage that I have seen the ipitch seems to make for a really quick game which when you are a new team, struggling anyway to get up to the speed of super league, obviously isnt a good thing. Muddy pitches and bad conditions are a great leveller for poorer teams and Widnes havent got this with the ipitch. I would have certainly thought that playing on the ipitch would suit the likes of Wigan, Saints, Warrington, Leeds etc a damn site more than Widnes. Just a thought but I may be completely wrong.

There is probably quite a bit of truth to that. Against Leeds we did have a few long range tries scored against us, which might not have been scored on a heavy pitch. Also with Leeds not playing JJB, Peacock and Bailey on a boggy pitch Leeds might have struggled down the middle. Anytime we did put pressure on Leeds, however they were able to use their faster more agile players to get them out of trouble. I suppose the pitch might hinder us for the 1st few games, but the fact we're going to be playing on it every other week, may mean we're the ones who will be used to the faster pace than a lot of other teams - well here's hoping anyway.

I don't know if it was the pitch, poor defence or just class, but at times Rob Burrow was untouchable against us and I've got a feeling Tomkins will be exactly the same when we play Wigan.
