| Quote: Him "Pretty fair summation IMO.
I definitely think the down under programme didn't show Wane in a great light. Not particularly for the swearing, swearing is pretty rife amongst RL players and I don't think it's much to get worked up about. It was really that the programme just seemed to show his only tactics as being "effing hit em hard".
I know some people have jumped on that to portray him as a bit thick and "basic" but there's obviously more to him than that, it's just that's how the programme portrayed him.
I'd also say it was a bit of a rubbish programme. It didn't show enough of game related behind the scenes. They're the bits that really interest me, not whether Sam Tomkins got a speeding fine. I actually think RL could steal a march on other sports if they did an in-depth, season long, behind the scenes series. Either following one club or several. Basically a Rugby League Raw but for SL.
I think you're right in that Wane works so well at Wigan because of his long association with, and obvious love for, Wigan. It's why I'm not in favour of him becoming England coach, I don't think his biggest asset, the passion which he instills in his players, would transfer to that job.'"
I don't think this would be a great experience for fans of the team selected to follow, especially if it is during a bad year that they have. I know in the late 90s, there was 'Premier Passions' (I think it was) following the mighty Mackems when Peter Reid was in charge of them in the Premier League. Sunderland did terribly that year and among Newcastle fans / non-Sunderland fans in the North East stuff that was aired in that series is still used to wind the red and whites up at times.
For instance, if they followed Leeds on a season where they came say 6th or 7th and were knocked out of the cup early doors, you'd basically be supplying free ammunition to fans of pretty much everyone else. Conversely however, who would actually watch it if it followed a geographically smaller team like Cas or Wakey...? |

I'd love to see Tony Smith give the England job another go. He was the best coach we've had in a long time coaching arguably the weakest England team we've ever had (Lee Smith, Calderwood, Sykes, Purdham, Gleeson (at stand off) *shudder*. We're still not where we'd like to be in terms of personnel but we're massively better off compared to 6 years ago.

The idea that England could somehow rough up the Aussies (and particularly the Kiwis) is laughable. As is the idea that it would put them off their game.'"
I don't think it's McNamara's style anyway. I have actually been quietly impressed with what he's done the last couple of years, and if he can use what we've got to the maximum and get the team defending well then we have a chance (small, but it's there) against Australia and more than a chance against NZ. |

Ooooh. Don't be a tease, tell! If it's a programme like I suggested then I want some royalties.
That Kate'll do nicely... |

If ever Wane was to go up in my estimation he has to come out and take some of the flack off this Flower incident.
He needs to come out and say I am partly responsible for the way I coached and riled up the players and all the pre match stuff about hating Saints.
