Bit of a tiff between the two coaches...

Well Brown obviously went first but Wane would have been better laughing at him rather than be fuming.

Brown has less class than Millward.

Those remarks by Brown could be seen as criticism of the referee.
The MC will submit Brown's comments to the RFL.
It could cost him a lot of money!

Nathan Brown accusing somebody of whinging! That is priceless.

Waney should have laughed it off for the ridiculously funny moment that it us though.

Think SW has actually been a bit smart there and ensured Saints will likely get a fine for Brown's comments rather than a blind eye being turned

I'm surprised Brown was so blunt with his comments but not surprised he questioned the ref.

Nice to see Wane getting a bit rattled though. It will all add to the next time we play.

Wane certainly doesnt like losing to Saints and it certainly adds a lot to the derby games imo.

How Wane can complain about anyone's comments after many of antics defies belief. His calling for a ban for Danny McGuire but one example of his hypocritical behaviour. All that has happened is he has been beaten at his own game.

Well done to Brown. Nice to see him getting stuck in for once. Only taken him 18 months to get some of the fans onside. It will do him a lot more credit with the Saints fans than any perceived slight against Wigan would cost him.


Wane loves giving it out, so he can cop a bit for a change.

Is all brown has done is give is more motivation should we meet in the play offs.

He should take a leaf out of matter tactician wanes book, like his absolute car crash comments before the Cas cup game. . . .

Yup

and the motivational speech's he gave before the 2013 Super league and Challenge cup finals.......

Probably didn't need much of one to beat Hull on their particular showing that day lol.

I do remember Leeds being quite pi**ed off with his outspoken efforts to make sure Danny McGuire was suspended for the Wigan playoff game in 2012 after an incident when Leeds beat Catalans the week before.

Seems to be more of a 50/50 thing really where he might motivate his team, but he might motivate the other side also/instead with his words.

In (very minor) support of Mrs Brown, Bentham did have a shocker.
Also, can anyone please tell me when 10 yards & behind the ref at the PTB became optional?

Probably better off asking Shaun Wane?

I'm aware we're guilty too, I'm just fed up with it.

I have to preface most of my comments on here with a disclaimer so someone doesn't jump down my throat. But how wasn't Masoe picked up on 2 flops in a minute (one which hurt Williams)?
Or have I misinterpreted the rule somewhere (I'll be happy to admit I could be wrong) but it seemed like 2 definite flops.

Also, I never understand anyone complaining about offside/forward passes, every single team in SL does both of those things, but fans only notice the opposition team doing it for some reason.
I'm aware the rules should be followed, but it is very rare that one team benefits from missed instances more than the other.

And yet both have more class than Wane ever will.

On another note, can someone please remind Batemen that he's playing RL and not Football. He doesn't have to try and milk a penalty EVERY tackle. It's like watching Sam Tomkins all over again, there must be something in the water at Wigan.

Neither tackle was complete when Masoe hit them. However he may have contacted with the head of Williams, I wasn't sure from where I was.

==Masoe is he the big bloke who comes on for ten minute stints

He was the one who bullied your pack last night

For ten minutes , he was then out on his ar$e.

Even when he was on the field he repeatedly try to injure players with high shots , flops and knees in the tackle.

He did two late tackles I agree. No flops though, neither tackle was complete and haven't got a clue which incident you are referring to with the knee.

Yes he plays in short bursts but we knew that before we bought him. Just like Pettybourne for you. Masoe was integral in that 20 minute period after half time when we were on top.

His Knees went into Willams when he was on the floor. HTH.
