They'll be better than yesterday but might not give teams that fear factor they would have previously.'"
I think thats a little unfair on you guys. You were so dominant that Wigan didnt get chance to play well. Obviously coming up against "lesser" teams Wigan will win but Warrington were outstanding yesterday and gave Wigan no room to play how they wanted. That is testament to the attitude Warrington have.
I do agree with the Briers comment. He has always had a little bit of an "attitude" which IMHO held him back alittle and now that seems to have gone under Smith he is amuch much better player for it. (God that hurts  ) |

| Quote: danburge82 "Tomkins didn't do a lot wrong, but it was slightly dangerous and at full speed it looked quite bad, even the ref thought it could be a penalty. But slowed down it looked like nothing. Briers didn't start a brawl, not one puch was thrown. I think most players ran in to make sure nothing happened. The whole thing was nothing at all really from either side.'"
He certainly inflamed the situation.
Quote: danburge82 "Atkins'"
Correct decision on that one. |

According to the pundits, its not the game after the cup final that hits the winnerss, its the one after that. As for Warrington having an extra week, lets not forget that after the win in France the players were basically sent on a weeks holiday so it could be argued that they did well not to get "rusty". |

He already got one, although it was back in '09, so I gather the 'warning' has expired and he will need to be issued with a new one. www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?1523 |

If I were a Wigan fan I would be a bit concerned about my team and some of the body language that was on display yesterday. Hoffman dropped the ball early in the game and did not even bother to drop on it or kill the play, out of all of the people on the pitch he would have been the last one I would have expected to show that sort of attitude. Towards the end of the game Finch offloaded to Hoffman who dropped it and Finch was giving him a roasting. I have not seen that from Wigan for a long time, normally it is a hand in the air to say sorry and other players say don't
worry and stick a finger in the air to say just 1 minute to defend. Even from the kick off there was no "don't worry Sam" looked more like sam was looking at Deacon as if to say that was your ball. Maybe it was a Wembley hangover but it looked like it was a deeper problem than that. it's like their collective responsibility was left on the open top bus.

Briers diving in and starting a brawl was FAR worse than Tomkins attempting to stop the grounding of the ball.'"
How many bans has Joel tomkins had for running in and looking after his brother.  |
