I didn't ban you. Just telling you why it happened. You did come across like all you wanted to do was be provocative and argumentative though.

Well just looked at the stains board, can't see the fuss at all.... What a bunch of whining tarts...I can recall someone some time ago on these boards, saying to a stains fan when they were in their pomp "It will be interesting to see how you lot behave when your bubble has burst" or words to that effect.. Looks like they have turned into a bunch of spineless jellies..

Just for a bit of perspective on Friday. It was a great game of Rugby. Well worth the £12 or tenner or whatever you paid, going to a very worthy cause. As a game it was really competetive with both teams giving everything.

It's a shame that Brown said what he said and I put it down to worrying that Walsh was badly injured. In the cool light of day, I'll bet he regrets it, because it was stupid. (We suffered the loss of both our half backs for spells last season - did you hear SW complaining - no he just said it was a chance for someone else)

This time last year we were nilled by Wire in Westwoods testimonial and we were lucky to get nil. To me it shows how far we have come in a year. The young pack was immense and showed that the thread about 'power packs' was way off the mark.

Saints played well in parts with Amor showing up and I though Walsh looked class, so they will take a lot from the game. For us, all the new signings looked good (apart from Bowen, who obviously needs time).

The game served its' purpose with Saints providing a good test before the WCC. But just a thought - when players are granted a testimonial it seems that Wigan are the first pick, mainly because we are so well supported. It was a very decent turnout at the game. If we are to suffer moaning from Coach Brown then perhaps they should pick someone else in future.

Wigan are rough and tough in a rough and tough sport. The Saints and Wire fans (after the GF moaning) really need to take a long look at themselves - could I suggest watching professional football if they want to watch a non contact sport?

Brown doesn't do himself or his club any favours with these outbursts.
He banged on no end about the Taylor/O/Brien incident but was very quiet when Meli belted Craig Hall, knocked him unconcious, got sent off and banned.
The difference in his attitude over both incidents was mentioned in SKY's Back Chat show where Rod Studd read out Browns comments after both games. It rather brought ridicule on the Saints coach.
BTW re last Friday, weren't the first three penalties against Saints all for head high tackles? The first two certainly were and I have a feeling the third was too.
