"Shaun Wane's got a bag on,
Hip, hip hooray,
Shaun Wane's got a bag on,
'Cos we're Roosters for a day"

Shaun Wane is the Wigan mentality personified - blinded by self-importance, bombastic, insular and with a superiority complex only lessened by a rampant paranoid persecution complex

His comments about Saints in the build up to their game last year laid bare his true psyche, and instantly swung neutral opinion against him. Of course, they don't care and it all fuels their "Everyone-hates-us-we-don't-give-a-stuff" mantra but if he really thinks Wires pretending to be Wigan is going to undermine his prep then they are clearly already lining up their excuses.

I hope Wigan get absolutely smashed.

Me Too

Excellent! Well summed up

......arrogant fanny !

To be fair I thought that he came out of last season with a lot of credit for dumbing down his act compared to the previous season's outbursts which made him look like a fool.

All things considered my support will be for the Roosters the likes of Bostonslugholes has ensured that

I heard Saints are pretending to be Warrington tonight at the friendly. Being 16-2 up then leaking 28 unanswered points

who's volunteering to be put in hospital?

But a very successful child.

Does that mean that Harrison Hansen is making a guest appearance for Wigan, so that he can "Cannonball" Jonny Lomax??

never known a set of fans that use the word hate about any subject that does not praise wigan so often. that town as some issues.

Nice one Sigmund great piece of psychoanalysis there, nice to see your time in Winwinck wasn’t wasted. TBH I couldn’t care less what TS, or SW does or says just now it’s all a storm in a teacup. Let’s keep our powder dry for the main event.

What a yield of saps!

Has it crossed anybody's mind that this is an engineered situation to publicise the WCC?

when is this wireroosters v wigan game..go away in a weeks time dont want to miss our contribution to wigans downfall and to read all the excuses from that lot

Is English your first language?

Lmao...top reply.
No way I'll cheer on the pies though. Id rather have pins in my eyes!

You are probably right and IMO the sport needs more of this. A bit of trash talking away from the games will pump up rivalries and create headlines. Controversy = publicity.

Hehe...

We should get rival coaches in on a staged table like in boxing.
A couple of days ahead of a sky or premier sports game, like the weigh-in.
In this event, the coaches each in turn of one, name who will play that position, followed by a comment of what that player can do to the opponents.

The bigger the game the less friendly the coaches might become!

It would certainly get more people interested in whats happening. if they hear two rival coaches going at it its only natural you want to see the outcome of it.

I know you're probably jesting, but there's merit in what you say. It's about building the big fixtures as proper events. Who wouldn't want to see Wane & Smith in a press conference live on SSN a few days before the game?

As long as they don't do it like the American wrestlers ,with mics ? Shaun Wane giving an oscar winning performance doesn't bear thinking about !

Jesting I wasn't.

Hope the players have all come home with Roosters NRL shirts to wear during the warm up for the Wigan game at the HJ.

You'd be able to hear Mr Wane's blood pressure skyrocketing from the Kings Head.
