Quote: Stu M "Sore loser? I suggest you read his comments back again from yesterday. Admitted England were much the better side and maturely refused to be drawn into Wane’s obsession with him with his childish comments.
After the first game he said the ruck was slow- a comment lots of SL coaches have made at various times. He also said the pitch was poor- it was.
At no point has he accused England of anything disrespectful and yet he easily could’ve made a point of Wane’s programme notes from the first game.
To describe a coach as “done ok” after winning x3 GF’s in a row, a CC and a LLS was pathetic.
There’s only one coach looking like an idiot at the end of this series regardless of results and it’s not Woolf.
It comes to something when Wigan fans are disappointed in him.'"
Disappointed in his treatment of Liam Farrell personally but no issue with his comments on Woolf. I get it’s a weird position for Saints fans having a legendary Saints coach in charge of the opposition and having your current coach assisting him and he’ll be given your benefit of the doubt over Wane but he’s always been a moaner. He is a coach that pushes every rule to its limits and did that with great success at Saints but you can’t come out and talk about the oppositions tactics when your of that ilk.
I think there’s a little bit of pent up frustration coming out of Wane regards how Woolf did his very best to make international breaks a rest weekend for Saints players in the last few seasons. He held his tongue on it and shocked me actually in how he managed to do that at the time and he’s now decided to get stuck in to him in a different way, while using it as motivation for his own players.
I expect England will wrap up the series 3-0 and the England coach certainly won’t look like an idiot on the back of that. It’ll be the man making excuses, whose players have said they’re beating themselves and who’ve admitted now knowing who some of the England players are who will look a bit silly.
