In todays local paper Wane as said that Mickey Mac is taking training so seriously that he as nearly killed 3 u19 players!. No wonder he is being taken off after an hour he tires himself out

IIRC the full contact training they do gave us some injury problems last year.

That's ridiculous.

Booooo Wane out.

I don't really have a problem with him going in full steam to be honest. I'd imagine it's difficult for him to prepare properly for the blood and thunder of gameday otherwise, The u19s should probably know what it's like to have seasoned players trying to put shots on them as well, otherwise they could be in for a big shock when they debut.

its all Denis Moran's fault!

Good!!

Let him rough them up. It will toughen them up twice as fast. Can you think of a better player to get stuck into them than Mickey Mac. This isn't tiddlywinks.

Yea I'm sure it will benefit them in the long run having spent some time out injured.

Before people have palpitations, have any players ACTUALLY been injured? Or has MR FRISK just got all the old women's knickers in a twist?

Well the quote is on Wigan Today.

“The week before the Catalans game, he was told he could get in and do some contact and he nearly killed about three of our under 19s in that first session,”

So, a figure of speech... Not a list of casualties....

What Wigan fans will take from this: McIlorum was keen to get back into contact in training

What opposition fans will take from this: Wane is coaching his squad to harm kids

Micky Mac should be first in line to help coach the young'uns when he retires, just for his attitude alone.
Might be tough on the kids right now, but at least they will have nothing to worry about when they step up.

In the forces you are beasted straight away, you are pushed to your limits to see where those limits are. If you haven't got the mentality or fight for it then you don't make it. You are either thrown out or you walk out. The guys who spend good careers in the forces come out well educated and drilled men. (apart from the poor lads who get depression whom the government like to ignore, but that's another topic)

What i am saying is, You need to be pushed to breaking point to realise your potential.

All rugby players think they are tough men at all levels. Well to step up to the ultimate you need to prove it. Any player that shy's away simply isn't in the Wigan mould and will find themselves at Widnes.
