Oh the amount of times this has been spouted since last night. You realise Waney knew the cameras where on, yeah? You know that these things are edited, yeah? Or are you that mind-numbingly stupid to believe that's how the best coach in British Rugby League gives his team talks? I think you might just be. Go celebrate your win and leave those of us with intelligence to discuss this with some actual thought.

Tbh i think he is getting annoyed.
Saints win a GF and we get the press out of it.
If i was IL i would phone Don King tell him to book a fight between Sonny Bill and Ben Two Punch Flowers for Wembley Stadium asap. Could be the curtain raiser for the 4 nations. Or phone Dana White of UFC .

No, he bases them on my posts on the VT before "copy and pasting" them under his own username.

I presume you are feeling rather down today and letting your emotions get the better of you. You have not even the excuse of the heat of the moment in expressing your true character.'"
I'm rather calm today. Okay so using your logic...someone breaks into your house and you murder them, stabbing them repeatedly in the chest. This is in the heat of the moment. This must mean you're a cold blooded killer and all you think about day and night is murdering people?
Using your logic every time someone's emotions boil over, whether in sport or in life, they should be condemned by those actions, and be told by someone with the academic qualities of a pubic hair, that they did so because this is what they really want to do.
If you believe this, you're a moron, which your last two posts on this thread have shown you to be.

I see you didn't take any of my points and try to debate them.

To be fair, the video of the "team talk" does not appear to be brutally edited so that you could argue that he didn't say those things or that he didn't mean to say them and if you accept that he DID say those things in the context of a motivational dressing room team talk - and thats how it appears to be - then there is at least an outstanding question of how much of a contributing factor was this to the attack to the head of a semi-conscious (at best) player laying prone on the ground ?

Give over FTV! Unless you're trying to tell us that none of your coaches has ever said something similar when trying to fire up his players? I very much doubt you'd need to go back further than your current one (sic) given his statements after the Good Friday defeat.

No, no, no, he said them he just didn't mean them. . . . . apparently.
This would ordinarily be treated as one player having a meltdown. However, through having a coach who is stupid enough to go on record telling his players to act outside of the rules and knock people out, the Wigan club is standing trial alongside the player.
Wane has a lot to answer for, he lost you the game by being unable to instil discipline in his players and he has created a situation where the club can be perceived as having a culture which allows these behaviours.

If he can't instill discipline why aren't we getting 2/3 players a week sent off?

| I'm not sure you can argue that a team talk given months ago is suddenly remembered by Ben Flower the moment before he punches an unconscious player.
However, if this is a regular message that the coach gives to his players, it could be argued that he has cultivated a violent and unacceptable mindset amongst the players.
As he hasn't let cameras (with audio) into the Wigan dressing room again, it's something we'll never know.
As an aside, I can't believe any coach would allow filming inside a dressing room (particularly if this is the sort of thing he is going to say).
