| Dont think the annoucement was planned to well having the Warrington Chairman (Was he wearing a syrup?) in the Sky studio.
Should have been like it was before, all behind a desk, chairman and coach. It was a farce Smith not being there. A little arrogant dont you think? Would have been great to get the reaction of each coach after the annoncement.

| If it was Maguire who did what Smith has done, these boards would have gone into meltdown. Hell Maguire imposed a media blackout and they did.

| To be honest i think it was rather disrespectful of Smith not turning up. No matter what we all think of it, it gets media attention. Smith might not like the club call, but he has a duty to help promote the game, if he doesn't like it, go to a call centre job, 8 - 6 5 days a week.

In a funny way it was good to see the coaches and chairmen all getting on during the game. I really think they all wanted Wigan to slip up tonight. Was good to see Madge wave after the game, i am hoping it was in their direction to say its not over yet.

Exactly my point.

| Behave.. i found it rather funny watching Brian Mcdermott scratching his head looking like his world had ended in the background when Maguire was talking.
Morley was there to represent the wire..

Yeah thats right, with his child. Are you sure that wasnt Smith because he has acted like one all week.

Maybe he has decided it would be better to have a media blackout?
Surely it's better that the coaches and players do their talking on the pitch than to the media?

Why was it a farce? Had he been told to be there by the RFL or SL, then he would have been. What's arrogant about it?

Wasnt well organised. I remember the first one when they were all sat round a desk, the reaction of the opposition when Heatherington announced it. Maybe its just like Madge putting a media ban on this week.
Do you think he should have attended?

I dont see the problem to be honest. He hasnt done anything wrong, we all think its a sh*t concept so we can hardly call him for not caring about it.
