In fairness McManus has always been consistent on the issue as Ian Smith was dropped off the back of a complaint by him for attending a sportsmans dinner at the Huddersfield club. This was a couple of days before Saints were due to play Huddersfield.
In the aftermath of the CC cup final the obvious common sense in the point (it still surprises me any ref would have or want to have a twitter account) was lost by those who prioritise feeling over thought.
The small mindedness and petty vindictiveness has remained / returned in force after those comments by McManus, especially from victim club Warrington. Still as my mate Barry Ledger once said ‘if your name isn’t on the cup it means youve not won it...’

Why not? This Salford side has a more attractive and better brand of rugby than anything Wigan served up under Shaun 'knock people out' Wane for starters.

Because winning finals isn't about playing a better brand of rugby. If it was, wire wouldve won 2 grand finals against Wigan and saints would've won this years cup final.

Oh dear...

Seems as though I can't search for previous posts if I'm using my phone (which I currently am) so bear with me princess and I'll try and dig it out for you over the next couple of days.

Bit like your mate Stephanie you do like to set yourself up for a massive fall so more than willing to give you a little push on this occasion.
