i see shaun (baron greenback) wayne was his usual charming self calling saints THEM!
he's like a big schoolkid....just because of a fall out with nathan brown..i'd love THEM to go out shove it up em next week!

He's just playing on the local rivalry, i probably wanted Wire as they'd be marginly easier to beat, but beating Wigan in the grand Final would be the best feeling!

He creates this thing of us and them. He wants his players to think like fans and hate saints. It's his style of getting his team up for it and it works for them.

I hope our next coach allows us to be more aggressive like them

And they wonder why everybody hates Wigan.

We don’t wonder why at all, clue, the reason is it’s one of The Seven Deadly Sins and it begins with “E”. and before anyone accuses me of the sin of pride, well then I’m sorry but I must be a sinner!

Honestly?

You hate us and we hate you. Always been the same.

why does every one get their knickers in a twist, or take things personally when Wane says something that all us fans already think?

I am always shocked at how the fans of the most brutal sport in the world, get so upset about some light hearted wordplay.

Honestly its embarrassing

Ecstasy.......Thought the wigan players got caught doing other stuff.

waynes got a big gob and sometimes he's a disgrace to our game with his childish outbursts..call the team by all means behind closed doors..but in front of the cameras a bit of respect wouldn't go amiss by him..same as that other plonker phil clarke ..he shouldn't be allowed to commentate on sky when his beloved wigan are playing...in fact when wigan aint playing he always has to bring them in and use them as an example...paul cullen or john kear should be along eddie when wigan are on.... not that bias knowall clarke!.....

pot kettle black

The reason Wigoon are universally hated begins with A - Arrogance , of the fans and historically the leadership i.e Maurice, Whelan and now Ape. You were hated when you were just a rubbish team playing in a rented stadium, not much to envy really.

Yeah and Saints are everyone's second favourite team...

I never thought of that, but yes you probably right

Wonder if we can go through alphabet why other plans dislike Wigan.

No 1 Saint has started it with A = Arrogance, I will go with B = Bullys

Second least favourite team?

I think Wanes problem is,he's not articulate, so when he's being interviewed he just blobs out what he's thinking. In effect HE'S THICK.

I think that's true.

He's uses gutted a lot as well

Let's put it this way, had Cunnigham or Brown had used 'them' to describe Wigan, you'd be lauding it up!

The fact people are calling a double winning coach 'thick' is a bit rich as well.

Neither Brown or Cunningham would be so disrespectful even about Wigan. Calling Wane THICK might be rich but it's true

Done good job at Wigan and I'll be honest, I thought he'd mess up but he's done great. Yet I still think he's a little limited in the brains department.

Fear is a great motivator.

His record suggests that he had a good rugby brain. His level of detailed planning on opposition teams is second to none. You can call him all you want but he is a top coach who has created a successful Wigan team and that is what you really dislike.

Pantomime stuff. Wane respects Saints.
Anyway odds on you guys improved with news McIlorum out next week. Roby will be allowed to play his natural game and get you on the front foot.
Saints probably favourites now. Just hope Wane can get enough out the boys for this.

Read my posts idiot. I've said he's a good coach and done great job at Wigan. On another thread I've posted that I hope saints next coach brings the type of aggression that wane brings to Wigan.

I've actually worked with Wane and know him. He's thick!

Seriously, Pies, if you think 1 missing McIlorum = 1 missing Walsh + 1 missing Lomax + 1 missing Wilkin then you're nuts.

Also, you have to give up this "Saints probably favourites" guff. It's just sad. There isn't a bookie or RL fan in the country who will have Saints as favourites next week.

oh big deal micky cack isn't playing.......he's the most overated hooker ive seen....just acts as halfback most of the time and passes the ball....never makes any great runs like..roby or clarke...micky higham is better than him as well!....he's a dab hand at dirty tatics ill give you that!
