Sorry, I forgot you were Australian, it probably needed a smiley.

No ta.

He won a title. in the biggest games in the playoffs he faced 2 teams without their key players (leeds - mcguire and peacock, saints - halfbacks).

He won the CC. Wigan raced into a lead in the first 15 minutes then clung on for dear life the other 60, getting every single 50/50 call form the ref in the process.

Most neutrals consider leeds unlucky not to have won and many believed they might have deserved to win.

Luck and circumstance, combined with spoiling tactics.

No ta.

Don't have the exact times. Look after 60m.

Just because people complain doesn't mean it's true - even if lots of them do.

Some coaches have been known to bring attention to other coaches tactics to try and influence the ref - who'd have thought that!!

Once again, going in the wrong direction.
The problem SL's forwards have been having this season are head high tackles with two of our best, Graham and Morley, suffering particularly badly.
Wigan's two worst game for this were v HullFC.
The game at the DW was a thug a thon with Manu leading the way followed by Yeaman. Three brawls, no action from Ganson for 70 mins then, rightly, sending off Joel Tomkins. The game at the KC, three Wigan forwards sent from the field due to blood pouring down their faces from head tackles. All three needing stitches.
The RFL/SL has just got it wrong. No one has been hurt with three or four man tackles. Numerous players have been hurt and damaged this year by head high tackles. Let's hope something is done for next season.

you can only play whats in front of you. End the day he won two major trophies in two years and there not spoiling tactics its very clever tactics. it proves one thing know if they race into leads and hang on that they have a good defence.

You lost. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

If theres one good thing m****re has done it's build wigan fans up and give them delusions of grandeur, only for them to be crashed back down and dissapointed.

Over the last 2 years the level of disrespect they have shown to saints and leeds acheivements is astounding. It's why the final this year is so fitting. You don't hear any pundits or officials bemoaning the loss of m****re do you? He can take his tactics and his receeding hairline and feck right off.

Wigan have used spoiling tactics to suffocate the opposition, before using systematic well drilled attacking lines and patterns to post points.

Rugby by it's very nature lends itself to flair and unpredictability in attack, something leeds and saints thrive off. Wigans patterns of attack are predictable and repetitive, but systematic in their nature hard to counteract. However it seems this year they have been worked out.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

good point but you do realise hoffman and coley are amongst the worst offenders for head shirts

Jeeze you get less grief upsetting the scientology lot.

61.32 roby third man in, not much in it.62.44 shenton third man in worse than roby's.Don,t start whingeing you asked for times and got them.One other thing why was wellens waving his arms around again when the ball hit the post padding.Both the above where on lima.

Because the ref got the decision wrong again.

He hadn't made a decision,he went to the screen.
