Shock Result

Wow, must have been some game!

Some key players missing today for Wigan. No Tomkins, Leuluai, Richards or O'Loughlin.

Still 17 Vs 17 what ever the names say on the back of the jersey......great result for Widnes...

I've seen very few teams over the years that can go into a game not giving the opposition anything less then 100% and win, regardless of who they are.

I don't think you can use the excuse that certain key players were missing. All teams go have similar problems, and the big clubs seem to cope primarily because they have big enough squads to rotate.

Perhaps if Wigan was playing Wolves then fair enough, but we're talking Widnes here - the whipping boys of the SL. Until now that is

If Wigan had those players playing today they would have won, no doubt about it. They had some young players with little SL experience playing in key positions. Putting four new faces into a settled line-up can throw it off track a little and that's what happened yesterday. Fair play to Widnes though they must have fought tremendously hard.
