He said exactly that in his post-match comments... selective reading yet again.

"I don’t want to take anything away from Wakefield though, they were very good [...]"

"...so if they want to book their coaches to London, let them."

Which rather qualifies the apparent magnanimity of the first part of the sentence, don't you think?

Not really, it's just banter. Like your fans singing that you're going to win the league. Unless you're all serious about that?

Why not, we've beaten 3 of last seasons top 4 in just over a fortnight so, it might just happen
Seriously though, Wane's "banter" was clearly being disrespectful but, the guy was never going to come out and say that Wigan gave up in the second half, having been comprehensively out played and out classed in every department.

FWIW there is no doubt that Wigan were weakened but, in previous seasons, they have fielded weaker teams against the likes of Wakefield and Widnes to rotate their squad and they've still usually come out on top but, not on Sunday.

The senior players that were out there gave up the fight and regardless of Wane's outward complacency, this will be a concern for him and everyone else associated with your club.

Champion teams don't usually throw in the towel.

It's banter when fans do it. It's disrespectful when a coach does it.

Indeed. Though Wigg'n seems to blindly defend all things Wigan so he will no doubt streniously disagree.

I thought that at first, and then I began to wonder if he was slyly suggesting that Wakey shouldn't get too carried away as they will be travelling to London to play the Broncos in the middle 8s later in the season.

You think he's that smart?

Come on you can't believe that. He's welcome to have banter at the appropriate time and as the coach of the team that just got trounced the post match interview isn't the time. I've defended many of Wane's comments in the past but I doubt the best defense lawyer in the country couldn't defend that. It was disrespectful. Even if the scoreline were reversed it would be.

Wakefield beat Huddersfield with quite a few regulars out. Did they complain, no they didn't. Wakefield beat Leeds who were still struggling without Sinfield and Peacock. Did they complain? No( but their forum went into complete meltdown).

Something about this mysterious virus doesn't sit right with me. If they knew there was a virus going around why didn't they forfeit the match and pay whatever fine they had to instead letting players take the field and possibly spreading it to opposition players. And if they preferred to let players go on the field instead of forfeiting the match that would show IL and the Wigan club up in the worst possible light.

And therefore I believe there isn't a virus whatsoever. The video from KR was the biggest load of bull and they should've simply apologised for the performance and that would be that.

Haha ... well, whatever it was meant to mean, it didn't make sense.

I hope Wakefield went around the away dressing room and shared areas with detol. We don't want to be catching what they had.
...we can't afford the production costs for the video.

If it's only the away dressing room, it would be best to keep out and leave the mystery virus for our next visitors to pick up.
Wakefield's detractors can add that to the list of excuses for not wanting to come to BV.
Denis Betts complained about the uneven surface, with real grass on it, a short while ago

Even though he's Widnes' coach now, maybe it's just a Wigan thing

From our board... Wane is just chatting bubbles as per usual

Yeah but they were missing Dom Crosby, come on!
