Quote: Judder Man "Lots of coaches criticise there players and performance, I would sooner he tells us at it is instead of "talking around the houses" like Teflon Tony Smith for instance.
I,m not actually sure if he slags people off by name but by position, last week for instance he said our half backs and hooker played dumb, He only mentions personal names when its in the positive, Roby, Walmsley and Percival for instance this week.
I would sooner KC be honest and transparent than paper over the cracks in public.'"


He slags players off by omission - he praises players leaving silent those who he is slagging off..

Wigan fan in peace.
I think you guys have missed Wilkins over the last few weeks.
I must admit that until last season I never really rated him but he is a very important part of your team and is a bit like us playing without SOL albeit that this season looks like his better days are behind him. Get Wilkin back and I'm sure things will get back on track.
Still think you will get to the GF.

Quote: SLS "I find the more disappointing part of this the amount of our own supporters that rejoice and take pleasure in our poor performances so they can run to a forum and tell everyone they told them so. Mental is that. '"


Don't say that. You'll end up in someone's sig.

Quote: Allez "So - will the Cunningham apologists' society now have fewer members after that? Will they now see what the enlightened amongst us have been saying since the second he was appointed?'"


Does the "Cunningham [sic] Apologists' Society" exist? Does it have an index of card-carrying members? If not I'm calling a straw man argument.

I don't know anyone, ANY-ONE who believes Cunningham is anything greater than a coaching debutant. There may exist a few fans who prefer home-grown to the best Australian or Kiwi coach available - but you won't find much evidence to support this argument in this forum. But by all means - feel free to search whatever archival material you like. I await you skulking back to this forum - tail between your legs.

We are ALL completely in the dark as to Cunningham's bona fides. Don't try to fool anyone by suggesting our recent dip in form is proof positive because you know it's possible to dig up a bad run of form on ANY coach - no matter how successful.

So why don't you quit trying to suggest there is some kind of militant pro-Cunningham faction that you've been fearlessly fighting a lone battle against since his arrival because it's a BARE FACED LIE. Whether Cunningham is any good or not - there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with suggesting that young coaches need TIME. Otherwise there wouldn't be any new coaches.

I'd say you are acting like a spoiled little child - but a child doesn't know any better. You do. Or at least - you SHOULD DO.

A bit pot calling the kettle black. The unfortunate thing about this forum is that ADULT debate seems to be the exception rather than the rule, and you are as guilty as anyone!!!!!

If there's a poster on this forum who is prepared to go into greater detail supporting his or her arguments I'd like to meet him/her.

So don't expect me to break out the rosary beads over my occasional teases.
