| Quote ="Deano G"I did read somewhere that Churchill was embarrassed about that alleged quote (about Attlee) and used to deny having said it about a man who was his deputy in the War coalition government and who Churchill knew had done a great service to his country. (People often overlook the immense role Attlee played in the War, we owe our freedom today not merely to Churchill but to the other great men in that government).
Whether or not Churchill actually made the taxi joke about Attlee, who knows? Perhaps Rogues can shed some light on what people thought at the time?
He did not however deny having said that Attlee was a "modest man, who has much to be modest about", which is also a great line.'"
It was Attlee, in both cases.... Younger posters might like to look at some of Churchills put downs, many are absolute classics... "A sheep in sheeps clothing" for example... Also about Attlee |

That has been my first genuine LOL in a long, long time. I have tears streaming down my face. And then I read it was shut and nearly collapsed laughing. |

I have to admit that would be very funny. Although, I'm not sure Hock has the brain capacity to think something like that up, Tomkins might though. |

Its certainly good to have a real passionate coach in the league, who doesn't pull his punches with the media, what you see is what you get

Exactly
A bit of good old fashioned honesty is a good thing in situations like this. |

Wane has a broad accent and he wears his heart on his sleeve but you only need to look at the areas he's targeted to improve from the Maguire era to see he has something about him.
He knew our defensive structures were fine but knew there was real room for improvement in attack and spent a full off season working on just that. He's given the team a licence to throw the ball around and chance their arm and the backing he gave to lads like Goulding and Hock pubically in pre season has reaped it's rewards.
No doubt having Maguires structures to work with have given him a huge helping hand but to suggest he's solely riding on Maguires coattails as the odd saints would wants us to believe is disrespectful and pretty laughable.

Agreed - plus he's resting players and giving the youngsters more chances than Madge ever did (even if it did go wrong v Widnes). |

The squad lost 4 or 5 top class experienced heads last year yet due to Wane giving the youngsters their chance our squad looks deeper.

When Sam scores he should do " The Backwards Trot " new dance, in front of the North Stand, which I believe will be empty, apart from a wedding reception , infact he could ask the Grooms permission for the first dance  |

Personally I wish he'd stop turning into some sort of rent-a-quote coach and let the players do the talking.
