I've only seen the interview after the last game v Wakey and he seamed fine. He can see the penalty count is a problem and blames himself for that.

I must have missed the memo where mea culpa is now defined as arroagance rather than the buck stops here.

Rush comes across as a bit of a bottom kisser, the type of bloke who just says what he thinks his boss or the players want him to say.

I'll bet he'll really happy to stand down if Sts win the CC and/or the GF, or so he'll say.

When he blames himself in his comments regarding the penalty count, he is quite obviously being tongue in cheek.
He believes that the penalty count was completely unwarranted; in fact he alludes to that before he makes the "it must be me" comment.

He said he couldn't understand it and he will need to speak to Cummings about it for guidence for his own ignorance; so he knows how to be sarcastic!

I'm surprised there was no thread about the very odd one sided pen count. In a match we dominated it is strange the pens should go against us.

Yes really. I think if you dug out the stats from RL Express etc it would be rare to see a winning team concede a lot more penalties than the losing opposition. You generally give away penalties when you are losing the collision and losing metres; not when you are dominant

Great picture of the 2 coaches going up against each other this Week!

I wonder how many of you sintelliners who call Shaun Wane an ape from the comfort of your keyboards would be man enough to call it him to his face?

Don't all line up at once, wimps.

Errrrr, ney.

Why what would he do?

Run you over in the car park.

Watched Wane play the drums and he's quite good

I'd take an actual ape in charge if he had us in top spot with a sparkling attack and would hopefully guide us through to the semis of the cup at the weekend.

I hear all this ape stuff about Wane and saying he's as thick at two short planks but do any of you have a serious opinion on the job he's doing? Better then you thought?

I'd presume so because I read plenty of comments on here in pre season saying how he'd crash and burn taking over Maguire.

Not bad for an ape!

If I were you I'd get T shirts made with that on.

Hopes were high after your first game that he really was a buffoon, but sadly he is doing ok, albeit with McGuires team, so there is a small amount of grudging respect for the thick as mince ape man
