I love all this mind games stuff as long as the coaches know where to draw the line, it's nice to see NB joining in. It adds interest and a bit of spice to it all. I'd love to know if Wane is genuinely rattled or whether that was just the impression he wants to give.

Congrats on a good win. I got in from work just after 9.30 and was gutted to find out it wasn't recording so only watched the last 7 mins.

I think Brown has more than a fair point. Bentham was certainly a home refere last night. How many penalties did Wigan get in the last ten minutes?

A valid point or not it's good to see NB dishing a bit

lot of indignation on the matter from a couple over the hill - but this is precisely what it is. Media love Mourinho style mind games and clashes, and the fans can feed off it and it adds that extra something.

Still think being hated by Wigan is the best thing brown could ever do to ensure his job security!

"St Helens are a great team, very well coached and I commend them on that win"

Comments by Waney immediately following the game last night.

Brown then comes out with the rubbish he does.

Tell me, who's got the class and who is just crass.

Thats rubbish, we are not a great team very well coached, half the season we have been terrible.

Great response from Brown telling how it is, Wane has no respect and last time called us "That Lot", this time round he has been downed and reduced to a stutter.

Yep.

I found his "that lot " pretty disrespectful

I could not care less. Brown ain't here to preach to the great unwashed. He's a Saints coach and needs to lay into them lot whilst he can. Just like Wane has done over his years in charge.

Millward was hated by some opposition fans but that attitude of they are all against us worked for the team, the club and the fans.

Mr nice will get you only so far.

It's all great entertainment I'm all for stirring the pot, quite happy for Wane to call Saints all manner of names and Brown to do the same before the game as it adds to the spice. I do think after a game though it's important to show respect to the opposition (this is rugby after all!)

Next round of Wigan v Saints is going to be a belter after all this!

As for the officiating, everyone is going to be biased towards their team and I have no problems with Brown saying whatever he likes about the ref, however after the game like that though the first thing he should be doing is congratulating Wello and Wilkin (who won it for you imo)

Good to see he might have finally grown a spine and got into the rivalry,can only make for a great match

Got to say, Nathan Brown has done what I implored my own weak coach to do a few weeks back. The psychological warfare is a massive part of our game now and if you don't use it your team will ultimately suffer. The big fat ape was last seen swinging uncontrollably from tree to tree in the Wigan area screaming insults about Nathan Brown.

NB's quote goes something like this, doesn't it?

rl"I thought the officiating of the game was horrible…we don't complain after any game…We never complain"rl

Wane is a serial whinger with referees:- www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/18538370
