I agree.
This is all now pie in the sky, we truthfully don't know what would have happened had Feka been on the pitch.
I certainly aren't going to haze Madge for this decision, he's done some wonderful things for this club, and to try and criticize him for a selection decision that were guessing would have won us the game is stupid.

| Quote ="Batesy"I thought that was one of two, Pryce on the wing was a poor decision as well (in retrospect).
We needed him to come infield today and help the forwards out with his side and he didn't. I've defended Pryce avidly on here and today I felt like I was made to look a bit of a fool for it. Ok he did well to clear up that grubber kick, and he took Carmont's shocking pass well, but other than that we needed him to step up and I felt like he didn't.
I thought Goulding would have come inside and made some of the tough scoots that he always does. Pryce did one today and we needed more from him.'"
He did just as much as Roberts today. Don't know what you expect of him, Donald was non-existant all game as welll.

Our long kicking game is awful, which is why sometimes we need to win the wrestle for control. We really need someone who has that skill, cause neither Sam nor Tommy have.

Barrett? Lets bring in a quality 6 next year. Move Sam to FB and have Amos and Pat on the wings. You cannot stop that then!

It's beyond pathetic isn't it. Pryce was the second best winger on pitch today behind hall.

| We need a big rough prop to make the hard yards. We were weak upfront today.
Also, what was the point in having Tuson as a sub? Absolute waste of a place on the bench.

Lets leave Sam where he is and buy another half.
Sam to 1 is crazy talk.

| Ok... We were weaker than Leeds then. We need someone like Peacock who will come on and raise the team. Prescott wasn't at his best, Fielden again, not at his best, whatever that is. And Coley gave away far too many penalties.

| Wouldnt say it was missing players but the fact that Glleson and Coley had howlers today that had more bearing

I agree, no point leaving him sat on the bench for the full 80 minutes. We could have had Goulding on the bench and when Leeds had used all their subs by around 70 minutes we could have thrown a fresh back onto the pitch with the instructions to run at their tired defence.

How is it crazy talk? Sam has all the attributes to play at FB. Especially given the demands of a FB in the game today.

Because he is well on his way to establishing him as the best half in the competition, playing one would see him limited to a running game and would take him away from the heart of the action. I just dont see any logic at all to it.

| Whats the point of having Tuson on the bench and not playing him? Fielden was jiggered, he played well over an hour. If your not gonna play Tuson then have Feka on and let him have a good 10 minute spell and give Stu a rest. Amos wasnt fit and i dont think he should of played and Pryce although he did nothing wrong showed hes an absolute fairy. First big test of Madge now.

Exactly I though i had gone mad. Whey was Tunson in the team? His selection was a wasted spot as I fear was Farrell who i do not feel would have got game time had it not been for the blood bin.
We basically took on a Leeds team at home with 15 players and 3 Props in those conditions was madness.
The game was all about territorial domination and the pitch and conditions ensure the game breaking play was always going to be a close range effort so why not have your close range specialist on the pitch, or at least in the 17 when you have 1 player sat on his real all game.
I am a big fan of Madge and in good conditions would have backed his choice to run with that team but the conditions today called for a 4 Prop rotation. Feka can and does cause teams all sorts of trouble close to the line either with bust or offloads nobody in our team did that today and ultimately that was the difference.
Poor call indeed in my opinion.

| I agree about why having Tuson on the bench if he wasn't going to use him? The game plan was spot on but we just weren't given the chance to have ball in hand for periods because of either knock ons or penalities against us.
With regards to Feka, not a type of game I would have liked to see him play in. He works in short spurts and also, will tire very quickly. When playing someone like Leeds, and the speed they play at, I don't think Feka could have coped.
We were one missed tackle away from a Challenge Cup Semi Final, and the result didn't justify the amount of effort and commitment the players put in today.
Gutted but a proud Wiganer, in Madge we trust

| For me it was Coleys stupid penalty's that cost us today its time he was dropped to make him clean up his game he has been doing it for years. I have to admit his game has improved but he does tend to have a bad tackling technique at time and gives away lots of penalty's.

| His argument doesnt follow, in the conditions he wanted big men. Why not use Feka, surely he cant be so out of favour.
I feel he dropped the ball today, sadly.

Neither has Pryce, so why should he be dropped?
