Wane is a great motivational speaker problem is he motivates the opposition more than his own team LMFAO ! =#BF0000'DON'T USE THAT TERM AGAIN'

Bring back a bit of biff! Hope both teams knock 10 bells out of one another.

At least if we lose, Leeds or Wigan will only get beat by a small team. Don't mind the underdog winning one every now and again.

CORRECT Alfie tonight should be a belter for a 'neutral'

On what evidence do you base this theory Mr Pastry?

Whilst I might care to admit that we are a better team with Lee in it, I don't think that our 'losing' stats seem to back this up

You aint our rivals. You just think you are our rivals so it makes you look better. The mighty Wigan don't want a rivalry with a team that cant get to any grand finals, We have rivalries with big teams.

The word is doing its round on the Wigan boards.

Tomkins is out for a minimum of 2-4 weeks with a knee injury and won't play tonight. Leeds at 5/2 with the bookies anyone?

Oh and the rugby gods strike again! (If true)

Do you want to know what I think? Perhaps not but here goes.

Why are you on here, a 'none rival' board and we aren't even playing each other? Unless you are a crackpot?

i have just been on the Salford board. I suppose they are our rivals too. I like to read. Something Wire fans struggle with.

I'm cut to the quick with your rapier wit, despite struggling to read,

It all depends on the definition of "rivals" really doesnt it? Do Salford play in the same competitions? Yes so in that respect they are. do they come from the same geographical area? Yes,perhaps another box ticked? Unfortunately for them despite doing well against us this year that is where Salford duck out of the equation in my opinion.

Without wishing to sound as arrogant as you, do you really see us, a team that has never been out of top flight RL and winners of a trophy or two in the last four years in the same way that you view Salford?

If so then you are an idiot, if not then you are a troll and you should jog on. Either way I wish you goodnight, safe in the knowledge that you haven't persuaded me to change my mind about Wigan fans in general

I'm having no trouble reading your shocking grammar.

Wouldn't it be good if one coach did a Keegan

Good game?

didnt wane say that his wigan forwards were going to smash our pack up before we obliterated them (again) ?

You would think he would have learnt his lesson..... obviously not.

complete moron.... long may his tenure continue.

Note to Mr Wane

Banter and bollards are for fans and players, coaches just coach.

Perhaps he should post on here.

Cherry Warrior? You bothering?

he is probably king warrior.

Tbh, Wane does himself no favours, every time he opens his Pie Gobbling mouth.
When you look at that crow's nest tonight, you have Wane, and Mr Mogadon himself, Harris.
Two gobes, who let their mouths get away from themselves, too quickly

coaches with class don't need to open their mouths and try to effect outcomes.

like Mcdermott said 'when i talk about opposition players, its to speak about how good they are'.

We may not think he is the best coach in the world, but he is a man of honour, and he carries himself in the right way.

Wane has already shown that he is not of that ilk.

.

Wane was quite dignified in the post match interview to be fair. He must be very worried though for next season with the quality of his replacements.

McDermott was very strange after the match though; he seemed exhausted and distracted. You would not have thought he was the winning coach!

He seems like an intelligent man. So, like our Tony, he's probably sick of the stupid questions that some of the Sky lot peddle out. Also like Tony (Sky interviewer questioning his abilities as a coach after England lost in the World Cup - in fact didn't be actually blame Tony for the defeat?), I'm sure someone at Sky questioned McD's abilities as a coach last season when Leeds were struggling.

You don't forget those kind if things and aren't going to be engaging with some complete fool whether he's got a mic in his hand or not.

It was fascinating stuff and all a bit abstract but you are right when you say he seemed to have a chip on his shoulder concerning comments that had been made.

What was also interesting was the Leeds shed at HT; he wasn't even talking..in fact no-one was really! Compare and contrast with Wane.

He went up in my estimation as a coach.
