| Quote ="Wire Bury Bob"What has he got wrong? He said you have very quick line speed. You have. He said you are dominant in the tackle because of your wrestling ability. You are. [uHe said these are delaying/spoiling tactics[/u. They are.
All of that is very complimentary.
He said Wire have very smart players who can get around those challenges. We have. As evidenced by, Cas last week and Hudds last year. As I said elsewhere, this game will come down to tactics and a teams ability to carry them out during adversity. I'm confident of Warringtons ability in that area. Wigan are an unknown entity due to MM being the new boy.'"

I used to respect the lad, i hoped he would get the monkey off his back and do well at Warrington.
But after his Twittering and now this rubbish. i hope that we walk over the top of him this weekend. He is bound to gift us one try heres hoping he has a proper stinker
the little cheeleader
EDIT - just seen the above posts so you are already aware. I hope he has a stinker'"
he's had a little cry at me on Twitter this week when i suggested he do some catching practice on his day off in prep of Deacs peppering him with kicks come Saturday. he did ask for suggestions of what to do on his day off!
had a hissy fit at me and then deleated me!
i like you, used to respect him. i liked him and didn't like the treatment he got from many Wigan fans. i felt they killed him and any chance he had of succeeding.
i can't bloody stand him now though (not just since this week)
he's a big crying mard-.
i hope Feka flattens, sits on and the farts on him on Saturday! |

I reckon your all being a little bit precious. Why do you all think wrestling and slowing the play of the ball down are different things? They are spoiling tactics but the point of any defense is to spoil an attack. Like I said, it's a compliment. |

Not really. It insinuates that Wire want to play fast Rugby, when infact, they probably don't, and we do. |

| Never understood the vitriol aimed at Mather's and a few others over the years. He's a good player, it just didn't work out for him at a team that wasn't working out and some of the most fickle and demanding fans around. I wish him the best in whatever endeavours come his way...
...
That said, I hope he has a stinker of game on Saturday, but not just him, the other 16 Wire lads too  |

Both sides want to play fast Rugby in attack. Neither want the other side to be able to. Both sides employ 'spoiling tactics' to slow the other side down, thus reducing the likely hood of them scoring.
Richie has merely stated that you have been very good in that area (as backed up by your defensive record so far). Hey, if you want to find an insult in a compliment go for it. Seems little bit like an inferiority complex if you ask me. |

You know, I know and everyone with half a brain knows what he meant!
If you want to dress it up as Wiganners have inferioroty complex then go ahead, but if theres one player & one club we certainly don't have an inferiority complex about it's Richie Mathers & Warrington!
They have similar traits, Both have won a trophy recently but no-one really cares, both have the occasional good game but in the main they're Pants, both get a little too cocky for their own good and then end up with Egg on their faces and ultimately when History casts it's shadow over the Game it won't remember either too much!
As for you thinking we have an inferiority complex, to me that suggests Wire fans think they're a better club than us? Along With SLIMply the bests comments last week about us being "Realistic over our support" that looks to me like it's the Wire fans who are getting a bit carried away and arrogant.
We used to be the ones that were called arrogant, but at least we had something to be arrogant about.
PS
These "Spoiling & Delaying Tactics" he's talking about, in Wigan we call it Tackling! |

Most fullbacks are prone to odd mistakes. I'm personally quite happy with Mathers at fullback.
I'll also be quite happy if Roberts is the Wigan fullback, in fact I'll be delighted.........as will Lee Briers!!

I wouldn't blame you on last years form. However he's been excellent this year, not sure about fullback though.

| Richie is a bit short of cash, he's doing it so he can release a DVD at xmas of his gaffs. It's a double DVD. Feka is also releasing one, documenting his time on the field. Unfortunately that only comes via a 2 minute mobile download.  |

If you want 'Bloody Hell' moments, Highams kick to touch when they were 2 down and only 3 minutes left was the dumbest play I've seen for some time.

Id agree with that, perhaps one trick mick should have stuck to scooting.
Im glad he was there though, we got more penalties when he was on the field. |

Roberts out of position was 100% better than Mathers who is a fullback so glad we got rid of him.
