Quote ="Famous"I think it is evident that certain posters have had it in for Wane since day 1 and some didnt even want him to be appointed in the first place. He is damned if he does and damned if he doesnt with these posters and they will not be happy until he loses his job.
Against Widnes we were winning comfortably twice and should have easily won the game. The players let Wane down, as well as themselves, and conceeded 37 points. Also there is a fair degree of exageration as to how many players were rested with some in fact injured.
Against Bradford we didnt even rest that many players and again was winning until McIlorum was foolishly sent off. Again how was this Wane's fault? If McIlorum hadnt have reacted foolishly then we would have won.
If Wane rests players he is criticised, if he doesnt he is criticised. The posters that are calling for people to be rested will be the first ones to complain when we lose games as a result. Posters that are complaining we didnt rest enough players this season were blaming Wane after the first game for not playing enough friendly games and thus making the players play even more. Then you have posters complaining that he rested players too early and not late enough in the season. This is despite it being fairly obvious what the benefits of any rest will be, even early in the season, and ignoring that this is exactly what Smith did and what Football managers do on a regular basis from the start of a season. When we play poorly it is all Wanes fault, never the players, and when we play well it is down to Iestyn Harris as attack coach. When we look fit it is down to Bitcom, when we look unfit it is because of Wane and his training methods. Some seem to have formed an opinion of Wane at the start of the season, for whatever reasons that may be, and have then proceeded to spend the entire season looking for reasons to justify this opinion.'"
I didnt want him to get the job as I thought it was at least a year too early for him and I stand by that. Our attack first half of the season was great and he of course should get credit for that, and to be honest in most games the defense was pretty solid too.
However in reality he has won a one horse race as we can all agree that only he has taken the league seriously, and infact has lost every big game of the season.
