My sarcasm detector is wobbling on this one...

Funny,although he did say the best team won, he isn't usually magnanimous in defeat.
Did he not go on and have a pop at the ref for Saint's holding down tactics (pot & kettle spring to mind there) and to criticise the ref for allowing it.
Sounds more like sour grapes than being magnanimous

He's not particularly classy in the build up to games, is he?

I couldn't give a monkeys one way or the other but he did say something similar to what the OP says ,so it's not the full interview he did on SKY. Somehow those parts have been left out on WW.com version.

As ever the pies will blame the ref as Shawn whine did in the post match interview.

Off subject but whatever did they do to rat boy down under.

He certainly had a stinker.

I was a bit worried about what Phil Bentham wanted to do with his stinker to be honest,

"Sam, Sam, give him ten"

"Well done Sam, no retaliation"

"OK Sam, I'll have a look next time"

Hmmm, when Bentham was seen buying a tube of KY jelly shortly before the game in a Wigan chemist people were unsure why. I'm sure Sam was pleased he bought it though.

The interesting thing will be watching how the always classy Shane Warne gets his various lads off the charges they face next week, so they're all available for selection; his defence of FPN will have to be particularly creative.

The leniency shown towards Wigan players by the RFL and the disciplinary could reach a tipping point this week. Having seen a player have his hair pulled, attacked off the ball, elbowed in the face, punched, and then shown a yellow card by a cheating ref, the game of Rugby League Is teetering on the edge of becoming a farce. I decided after last night I will not be renewing my SKY subscription because of the lack of integrity amongst the pundits and the defence of referees from that idiot Cummings. Enough is enough, I will watch my my team at live games, but will not support SKY and ultimately the RFL through subscription.

This thread is a disgrace. You're all just jealous of Wigan's success.

Wane "FPN has an exemplary SL record and has never been sent off in his SL career"
Disciplinary "we agree - SOS"
Case closed

Wane probably puts alot of planning into it. It's just not the offences, it's who's committing them. I'm sure wane makes sure in the main that players committing the offences are ones who you can realistically defend.

Not only that, but detailed medical reports and dossiers will be obtained on where players are most likely to pick up injuries, so that they can be targeted accordingly.

Statistics show that over the last 6 years 65% of lower body injuries have been sustained when playing wigan. Not only that, but the global economic crash of 2008, can be traced back to wigan.

when McGuire was in charge they left a sheet taped to the changing room wall at an away game, it wasn't my team by the way, giving a run down on all operations and injuries opposition players had had in the last year.
seems nothing has changed

I remember the comical incident when Rat Boy attempted a cannonball tackle on Cunninghams strapped up knee joint. He was better off tackling a tree trunk, Cunningham hardly flinched gave Rat Boy a death stare and he crept away like a mouse.

NOBODY ON HERE KNOWS WHAT A CANNONBALL TACKLE IS

Being a Wigan fan I'm sure you can enlighten us.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING.

JUST BECAUSE MR WANE SAYS ITS OK, DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT, RIGHT ?

Wane is thinking of rebadging "Wrecking Ball" FPN to something like "Wrecking OFF THE BALL" or TUGGER.

If he's annoying fans from other teams... He'll do for me...

I'd rather have a prop who has made more meters, more carries or more tackles than either of the opposition's halfbacks. FPN didn't even manage that.

He failed to learn how to manage the media from McGuire thats for sure, never mind how to put a successful team together.
