| 'Madge' has imposed another media blackout.
At the big stage of the season, when the game needs as much publicity as possible, the current super league champs decide they are too important for media commitments.
I guess it just fits in with the ethos 'madge' has brought into super league.

If he decides his players - who looked fatigued, lacklustre and in need of a fresh start against Warrington and Saints - need time away from distractions, then so be it. It's his squad, they're his players, it's his call.
Only an idiot would fail to recognise Wigan have underperformed in their last few games, including the CC Final, and it's a coach's job to recognise such issues and introduce solutions - if that means a few days away from the media glare, great. Something in the recent routine needs changing to provide a fresh mental and physical start.
RL gets naff all coverage anyway. Wigan keeping quiet for a few days won't lose us any column inches. In fact, conversely, it might lead to additional coverage.

| Total and utter disrespect. It's also a breach of the Sky contract and techically could result in the sport losing it's TV revenue.
Unless they are still doing Sky interviews?

What Sky interviews? There is no build up on the coverage of our game.
They did the same thing last year before our semi final at Leeds. Don't remember any fuss being made then.
At the end of the day pre match talk is always cheap and garbage. Do your talking on the pitch!

So we expect to see a few Catalans players with dislocated joints and tendon/ligament injuries?
Just smacks of a mard-ar$e reaction to another hammering to me. Why cry about it?

| Struggling to get worked up over this one. Wigan have been out of form, coach decides to look after his squad. It's not exactly an outrage.

What have Catalan players got to do with it? All he is doing is ensured the players are fully focused on the job in hand. Each coach deals with things differently. I'm certainly not going to argue with a man that has delivered a league and a cup in the last twelve months. He perhaps realises that we are actually knackered physically and this is his way of trying to deal with it.

| Maguire himself did an interview for Sky Sports News this morning. It's just the players he's banned from talking

Preventing them speaking publically refreshes you physically how?

Travelling to BBC Manchester studio, like Sean O'Loughlin did last week, is very knackering you know! Unneccessary extra driving. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

| Probably needs more time coaching them special 'technique' in the ruck.
Maguires ethics are about as dodgy as his hairline (imo).

| Poor effort this one Marcel.
Even the perennially pathetic Saddened hasn't managed to summon his usual levels of vitriol.

Take that logic somewhere else!
It's quite clearly the most important, pressing and horrendously outrageous RL related incident of the Millennium.

| Utter contempt? ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif) If this was any other club there wouldn't even be a thread about it.
Obsessed.

| Don't play the 'if it were another club' card boyo.
Remember the utter chaos on here when Saints couldn't be bothered with the Wembley walkabout the other year?
