I've just read that and thought the same thing. Just shows how well Madge does his homework!

Wow.

You'd never believe that so much calculation & adjustment can go on over 2 seconds, with 4 people involved in a single tackle.

The speed of calculation required to affect this technique and then to adjust when he sees that the opposing player might land in an awkward or dangerous position is incredible.

Also, hats off to the coaching staff for their obvious attention to detail when it comes to individual player briefings.

wow

Nah. We're just a third man in at the knees team. Everyone knows that.

Yep. Richie Mathers isn't a fan, apparently...

Dirty cheats Wigan.

Outstanding explaination!

Someone forward this to cheerleader Mathers on twitter lol!

He's just peed off because he wasn't part of the plan.

Mathers can't affect a straightforward round-the-legs tackle, let alone anything as complex and careful as that.

Sorry, but thats is part of what I would expect Madge and his coaching staff to be doing. This is a professional sport, Don Revie & Bill Shankley were doing long before now.

Perhaps this is the problem with several other coaches in that they are are too busy taking the lure of television plaudit money (Kear, Slug and Noble), rather than concentrating on their team and the opposition.

Madge has taken coaching in this country to a new level. Let's hope no one matches him.... apart from Shaun Wane next season!
