On the BBC website this afternoon Sean Wane asks the RL for protection for Sam because he thinks he is coming in for some unfair treatment.

I think someone should post a link to the article on here (I dont know how),because he makes a comment that if the RL dont protect him he (Wane) will get the Wigan players to do it. Within the rules of course.

The BBC are quoting from an interview that Wane gave to Radio Manchester,

Officially RLFAN's most Doe-eyed Happy Clapper. Big Steve wrote: The Internet has provided some wonderful creativity, opportunities and knowledge sharing but it has also given a worldwide forum for people you would leave a full pint behind in the pub to avoid having to listen to them. aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg

Has the treatment on him been that bad this year? I didnt see the exiles match but besides that I've seen him come in for worse in the past IMO.

Teams have hardly laid a finger on him in recent weeks anyroad and he's tough enough to deal with whatever comes his way.

If anything this will make players from the opposition more likely to try and hurt him in the coming matches.

He's not getting it because he's got even better and is avoiding a lot of it. If you watch there's a lot of swinging arms and stuff coming his way.

If I'm honest though I've seen our guys doing the same to brown, Myler etc. I think we need to sort something where if a big guy throws an arm at a little guy he gets punished properly. I do think Sam gets more than most though but it's only because he is so good and has the ball so much. I think the point is that this guy could be the basis for England actually winning something in the future and if he is injured badly by some pillock that can't beat him within the rules then this could be ended.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



I like that Wane has spoken out but the delivery of that comment puts him on the same level as Nathan Brown 2010.

Sam does get some bad treatment but most teams can't lay a finger on him. Most teams have come to accept that he is just the best player in super league, even in a poor game he can do something special, teams are too busy trying to defend against him to rough him up.

Seems a bizarre comment to me. Not really been that bad this season at all, apart from the Whinos trying to house because they knew they couldn't beat us at rugby.

I really wish Wane would keep some things quiet - it's an area he could learn from Madge.

I assume it's in reference to him being panned by Setaimata Sa and the disciplinary deeming "penalty sufficient". So not out the blue as such, just that 99.9% of people wouldn't have seen it as it was in France.

Yeah, remember when JJB tried to kick him in the face? Does everything look red and white through those glasses you wear?

No need to whine in public like that. If he has issue take it up with cummins and not the media.

Quote: ChrisA "No need to whine in public like that. If he has issue take it up with cummins and not the media.'"


yeah - cummins. hes done such a good job so far hasnt he.
he's alienated most of the SL coaches exactly because he DOESNT listen and the link between the refs and the players appears to have fractured.

its a ploy that most SL coaches have used - either to defend their players, or to put thoughts in ref's ears regarding opposition tactics (our defense strategies comes to mind)

yes, in a perfect world we would be able to have a chat with the chief ref, but it aint a perfect world, and cummins is a joke

get russel smith to come back and run the refs game. is he still reffing in aus ??

I think he's put a bit of a target on Sam now; made him look a bit soft really.
