Quote: Stu M "I’ve no issues with Wane’s ability as a coach. We’ve not been great to watch however I’m not daft enough to realise we are missing Williams, Young, Farnworth and a potentially fully fit Thompson.
I’ve also commented on here that I don’t agree with Wellens working with Tonga and I backed Wane about his comments over that.
What I do take exception to is his arrogance in describing Woolf as “done ok” at Saints which sounds like a real childish thing to say to be honest.
He’s also massively exaggerated Woolfs comments from Week 1 and tried to create a siege mentality when to be fair what he said wasn’t extraordinary.'"
Why shouldn’t he try and create a siege mentality? He’s trying to win a series and will look to use any tools he can to achieve that. Woolf didn’t say anything out of the ordinary by his standards but if Wane thinks he can find an angle to give his side an edge, he’s going to do that. I think this battle with Woolf is pretty important to Wane. He’s never come out and said it but I’m pretty sure he’d have been seething with Woolf’s attitude to his Saints players turning out in mid season games (he moaned publicly about the workload of his players as well) and now is his time to try and get one over Woolf (and he is doing).
