... if it meant the difference between winning and losing the cup then I can't see the problem with it. Why risk key players a week before a cup final when you can rest them at no major disadvantage to your own teams final league placing?cpwigan posted:
Rob, if Salford beat Saints and eventually Hull Kr get relegated by 1pt I hope you do not come back and say I do not see what is wrong with fielding weakened teams. It damages the integrity of the competition. In the good old days it was against RL byelaws to field weakened teams. Would you like to sponsor SL knowing clubs field weakened teams?
What would you prefer... Wigan losing to Salford one week and winning the cup the next or Wigan beating Salford and losing the cup final?
I said 'significantly.' I wish you wouldn't twist my comments.And if taking their 2 props out is not weakening Cats then stick to refereeing
