And John Davidson is pushing it on social media
Mr Negative meets Mr Downbeat
I don’t get the Wigan old boys line at all. The squad is packed full of Saints players, NRL players etc and it just so happens some of his best options played under him at Wigan. That can’t be a huge surprise given the quality he had at Wigan. Any England coach would have Tomkins and Williams in their squad. The only one with a question mark is probably Micky Mac but the cupboards pretty bare at hooker.

We all heard similar stories at the time. A definite case of ego before country.

| Quote: Cruncher "I can't remember now who was coaching England in 2008, but if the divide between St Helens and Leeds players was as bad as the rumours at the time held it was, and both Peacock and Graham now seem to be confirming that, it represents a total failure of whoever was in charge.
The Riot Act should have been read. The worst offenders should have been made an example of and sent home.
I'll never forget in 1988, when Graham Lowe had a discipline issue with Ellery Hanley, who was club captain at the time (and the best player in Britain). Lowe told him to stay away until he'd sorted his attitude out. Hanley did, for about 3 months, but he was the one who eventually came crawling back.
Egos can be tamed by proper coaches.'"
I seem to remember him making his 'post issues comeback' against Widnes in the JPS Final at Burnden Park, or was that Andy Greg. I think he had a wobble as well for a while back then. Major egos in that team that Maurice did well to tame.

Nope
That was Gregory the year after - He was on the Bench that day and Ged Byrne played 6 - Greg came on 2nd half and supplied the pass to Hanley to win the game - It was Jan89 and Monie tells the story that Greg sat in the Tunnel sulking at HT and the Brass Band had to walk around him!!!
Also the same week that Widnes had announced Jonathon Davies signing
Ellery was in dispute early 88 and made is comeback for the semi final at Burnden Park against Salford IIRC in a bit of a Mudbath.
(Also - it was the game were they took a Photograph of Gill lifting Edwards over his shoulder at the end of the game in celebration and it won Sports Photo of the year or summat like that).

That's the one I'm thinking off (Jonathan Davies signing), tough win at Burnden. Couldn't remember if it was Hanley or Greg.

And then those players from other clubs were usually on their own.
