Quote: Aboveusonlypie "I think you might be right about this. The documentary did SW no favours. When you think about it, it was a real error of judgement by someone at the club. I mean, these things are definitely best left well away from the media. It's not as if SW is the only coach who swears and motivates his team in this way. But the fallout started with the GF.
I don't think it was a coincidence that Flower did what he did. You run the risk of stuff like that happening if you pump the players up too much. He also went overboard with his "I hate Saints" nonsense.
Firstly I don't believe it and secondly I think Brown got under his skin. I think he genuinely likes and respects KC, so things are different now. He needs to get back to the team playing like they did last Good Friday next time we meet. I am a big fan of Wane. I think he lost his way a bit last season. I hope he can find it quickly.'"
I never doubted that Wane had professional respect, but I just figured he knew that on match day, if your were prepared t go out there and the opposition with everything, likelihood is you'll come out on top, even if they outmatch you in some of the finer points of the game.
I heard that that was how he played and felt that was how he tailored his players. Add to that the whole born and bred in Wigan, bleed cherry & white thing, it increased his coaching effectiveness exponentially.
This was Wigan's [iextra level[/i and what made them the most daunting proposition in the league. [iIf[/i they lose this edge, they [imay[/i drop to being the 4th or 5th team - a decent also ran like Hudds.
