This thread is almost as comical as the one calling for Wanes head after the first game. Wane never seems to get credit from some yet the moment we lose the knives come out.

This is the second screw up by Wane this season, a team not ready for Huddersfield and this really is a mistake to rank right up there with the best.

Did he not think what the ex Wigan connection people would think this morning, OK leave a couple out which was known to be Pat and Tommy but then to leave out Sam and Lockers is really saying to Widnes "you are no good and we can take you anytime" how would anyone react if they were treated with such contempt and arrogance?

When you hear that Stefan Marsh is sounding like a world beater it really is time to be a bit concerned, so well done Widnes and we got what we deserved. As said already, blooding young players is OK but what will this have done to their confidence, getting beat up by a team who have not looked like winning and if I am correct lost their last 7 matches last year and their first 5 this season.

He could have left out 2 today and 2 next week against London but to leave out 4 of your very best and most experienced players was madness and now of course he will have to play all 4 next week if fit, whereas spelling them in a logical manner would be perhaps OK. It is also not fair on the fans who pay to see the best team possible not some experiment, he has already done this in practice matches and hasn't learnt any lessons.

Let us hope he doesn't mouth off again about I will make the players suffer in training etc, accept your mistakes and admit you made a massive one today and learn from it, if not accept the consequences as anybody in any occupation who made a mistake like this would have to do.

He Wont Do It Again,,That Is For Sure...

Would that be the Huddersfield team currently at the top of the table? Must be an OK side, or do you expect to win every game...

Not so sure Wane needs to go, but you do have at ask the question, why so early in the season do we need to rest players?
Most players are only just getting into full match fitness, we should have played full strength, rest players against Widnes at home.
Mistake today, but hopefully he will learn.
Could be worse, could be helens.

Thank's. Ido believe however that a coach is paid to make decisions in the best interests of
the team. The proof of the pudding will come at the end of the season. i'm sure that Wigan will be
there come Grand Final day. Look at Leeds last year.

Are we going to get threads calling for Wane's head every time we lose? I would love to know what he has done to deserve the stick he has got so far from some posters and I dont know why the players are always blameless when we lose and instead it is always down to Wane. Regardless of the team, and whether the spine of the team was missing or not, we still scored 36 points which should have been more than enough to beat Widnes. It was not Wane who missed tackles or gave the ball away needlesly.

Youngsters have been blooded and gained valuable experience which could be crucial later in the season. Crucial players have also been rested which could make a difference with important games and the Easter period coming up. If Tomkins and O'Loughlin had played today and got injured then the same posters calling for Wanes head would have been winging that Wane didnt rest them. Sometimes I do despair at some of our fans on here.

I blame Mathers

Look on the bright side... we have to play em 3 times this year

We have to play Stains 3 times

Good Friday relegation battle ( oops there isn't any ) and both teams without a coach ( both sacked )

Is it really the case that every time Wigan lose a game, certain fans are going to demand Shaun Wane's resignation? No doubt these will be the same people who used to slag Whelan off for chopping and changing coaches all the time.

Threads like this are too embarrassing for words.

Wane in.

the team have been worrying about facing the might of Ah Van all week, good job he wasn't playing today or the score line would of most certainly been worse for us, thank the man upstairs for small mercies

I can't believe how quickly English fans turn on their own.

I agree that he clearly showed no respect to the opposition but Madge was guilty of that on occasion too as is every Coach for example 2009 (Noble) we got beat by Crusaders because we expected to win after we won comfortably at home and the games under Madge against Cas and Bradford shows all coaches are guilty and all teams are guilty of showing no respect and easing off.

This is a blip and remember we are usually the team that get beaten in the upset like this maybe its something that Wigan cant get away from we underestimate/disrespect the opposition on occasion but you can bet next week we will be back as strong as ever.

If Sam,Pat or Tommy played yesterday we would have won we just lacked that extra spark in attack

Wane made his bed let him lie in it

Yep, you'd looked the form team in the league up until now, but hey, you lost one game while resting players.

Not only should you sack Wane but you should sack every player who played. And Tomkins. Definitely sack him. Immediately. For not playing. While Leeds still have some cap space.

Failing that, some knee pads for the OP to prevent injury from the underside of his/her desk.

With the Vikings downing the Pies does this mean Wigan are on the Wane?

Just a quick update for those who will read this and spout things like ''CAN'T BELIEVE WIGANERS ON RLFANS ARE CALLING FOR WANE TO BE SACKED!''

After 12 pages, I can confirm that the one and only person in the thread calling for Wane to be sacked is the original poster.

Sheeeeeesh, you should never let the facts get in the way of an opinion!!!!

I see what you did there... very clever.

I hadn't realised that Charnley, Finch, Lima, McIlorum, Mossop, Hansen, Hock, Lauaki and Tuson are in your 20's side. No wonder you keep winning Grand Finals.

Don't you know that if 1 Wigan fan says something then we "ALL" said it!

Was just thinking the same thing myself so well said

- he may have got it wrong on this occasion but its not a hanging offence and we can all put money on it not happening again!
