Wane Resting Palyers : Tue Apr 08, 2014 10:17 pm  

Bit early for the GF Wigoon thread but...............Just read in Sporting Life that the apeman is thinking/planning of resting players against London prior to the Good Friday game.

Obviously he is a teeny bit worried about us and its not something we can really do against Cas.

Lets hope we can regain full form as if we do, we will smash them.

No, he's just learned from his mistakes in 2012. Sign of a good coach?

I don't see any controvery here. If we were playing London pre-derby I would be looking at us playing a full academy squad, plus Wello because it's in the bible that he can't be dropped.

What are you hoping to do when wello retires??

Re: Wane Resting Palyers : Wed Apr 09, 2014 6:37 am  

no problem with this at all. I'd be a little concerned if we didnt rest anyone against London, plus players need a break over Easter at some point

Will the Goons rest Paddy Wack he's not played all that many games lately.

We play Leeds the week after Easter so I imagine we will rest players at Widnes.

Re: Wane Resting Palyers : Wed Apr 09, 2014 7:15 am  

Widnes is a tough one to rest players, they have not exactly been slacking off this year.

But given it's after the Good Friday fixture, you would expect some rotation anyway. But you can now think there will be almost 100% rotation now that we line up against Leeds.

I don't think anyone in the match against Widnes should think of themselves as also rans, if that match was not on some players may have been in the first team anyway.

Assuming a fit outfit squad I would do the following.

Wigan

Lomax, Swift, Jones, Turner, Makinson, Lance, Walsh, Amor, Roby, Walmsley, Sia, Manu, LMS : Masoe, Flanaghan, Laffranchi, Walker

Widnes

Wellens, Acadamy Winger Percival, Dawson, Acadamey Winger, Wheeler, Wilkin, Walker, Charnock, Laffranchi, Richards, Thompson, Savelio

Greenwood, Flanaghan, Beaumount (if fit), Jordan Hand. (clough would have been handy)

Leeds

Whoever is in form and ready to go on the Saturday

I'd be happy to win one of the two Easter games and take a fresh healthy squad to Leeds.


If we can get the win on Friday against Cas and win one if our Easter games I think most would be happy with 9 wins from 10 and a healthy squad in cc at Leeds.
