Having made my previous comments in support of Wane, I now do not understand why he is again sending a team of fringe players to Hull KR. Sending this team to play a Championship club is one thing but to send a team of fringe players to play against a Super League club leads to the question 'What is his idea'. Seeing how good some of them are against first team opposition or as punishment for the poor performance last weekend.

I lost interest in warm up matches after the debachle that passed off as Sean O'loughlin's testimonial last year.
He's sacrificing virgins and protecting his main squad players until the season starts.
My opinion of course

Wane can do no good in the eyes of some. I guess these are the same people that seem to despise a particular player. These people can watch a player they don't like have the game of his career for 79 minutes, make a tiny error in the dying seconds of the game and they use this to pour scorn and abuse on him. Training hard for the hardest team sport in the world shouldn't do the players any harm, especially,as others have said, under the supervision of Bitcon and his team.

One thought that always bothers me re friendlies is we are told in all manner of sports that the players play too many games and they would benefit from less games. We then ask them to play in friendlies which largely makes no sense.

Then why do we arrange them? The clubs involved probably make a financial loss or close to it because I can't see many paying £13 a seat next year at Leigh as they will assume a repeat.

In Wigan's current situation with so many experienced players leaving the club in 2012 I would have thought the fact we have five friendlies would have been the ideal opportunity to get the new first team together so they play as a team in week 1 of SL rather than as a bunch of strangers.

The fact we play the number of games we do in a season might make playing the 1st team in so many friendless in any other season questionable (though I am not suggesting they play the full 80 in any friendly anyway) but this season when we have so many new players?

Friendlies are an experiment for the coach, he can look at players he wouldn't risk or be brave enough to play in SL.

People always find negatives in everything but I'm sure there are more positives to be found.

Incidentally friendlies against lower league clubs ie Leigh is a good pre season fund raiser for them.

If we played a full team against Leigh and battered them but a player got a season ending injury the coach would get slated, if we play a young team against them and lose people moan.

The object of friendlies I would have thought is to help prepare the team for the coming season by giving them some match practice. Our first team hasn't had any so far and its a pretty new team unfamiliar with each other.

Any of our players players can get injured in any game they play which is stating the obvious so my question to you is, are you suggesting no first team players take part in any of the three remaining friendlies in case they get injured?

No but you minimise the risk by looking at the youngsters, as you say injuries can occur anytime so if they do at least the coach has seen the youngsters play at a higher level. IMO I would have played all youth against Leigh then introduced a few experienced players for hkr then a full team for Warrington and Salford.

According to lots of people our team has 27 friendlies to get players adjusted. I rate finishing top but you don't have to go all guns blazing in the friendlies to achieve that.

Nice of you to pick a small piece of my post Dave to suit your argument, all that I am saying is the coach can't win but incidentally my question to you is do you know better than the coach?
