I see.
Do they both want Huddersfield to go top ??

It does make you wonder how a team more offensively and defensively inept than us, can stick 37 points past a good Wigan side!

Wigan rested a few decent players. Widnes capitalised. Today's result is good for the game.

Wigan didn't put their best 17 out and got all they deserved. hope it costs them a home tie come the play offs.

Makes a mockery of the sport.

Widnes had Ah Van,Dean,Cross,Watts,Kavanagh,Hanbury,and Scott Moore missing.So a few Championship and youngsters like Craven,Mullaly and O Brian stood out.

What annoys me is that whilst we're scrapping with Widnes to keep off the bottom of the table, they're faced with a weakened Wigan team whereas we got the full wrath. The defeat serves Wigan right but it doesn't help us in the slightest.

It won't have any impact on Wigan come the business end of the season; it might well have an impact on those clubs who are scrapping it out in the bottom half of the table though.

Bad business by Wigan.

Well played Widnes. I'm glad you stuck it to a coach who showed you no respect.
And at least the result took our pathetic performance off the front pages, which is a bonus.

Correct. I'm doing an awful lot of agreeing with you recently Bren. It feels a bit odd.

At least there isn't relegation to worry about. I can't understand why Wigan would want to rest that many players. We are only a month in, and it's not like it's the Challenge Cup final next week is it?
