I'm drunk so who knows, I'm struggling to understand what I wrote. All I'm trying to say is, I called at the time, Solomona was tackled and was injured, it was a game changer. Tony Smiths reaction confirmed my feelings and so it proved. No way did Coley go in with the intention of injuring the player. I tried to stress this by saying he hit around the thigh. It was a tackle that changed the flow of the game.

No worries mate ... so i am I ... what a great day... shame were all at home looking after the kids instead of getting bladdered down the boozer!!!

Time to ban second man in?

That's me!!! but off to the semi finals with the kids I go. Taking a 5 year old and 5 month old to Warrington in a QF isnt my idea of fun.

After last years league game I won't take the kids there.

I getting increasingly fed up with other coaches/supports moaning simply because we do something better than they do.
Boring robotic rugby? do any of these people watch us play? And now the tacking technique? It's legal effective and precise. Whatever next? We'll be banned from playing Pat on the wing because he's called Pat, and that offensive to postmen nationwide.

Well at least John Kear called it right, said no problem with it, every club in Super League employs the 2 man tackle, 1 up, 1 down.
Detected signs in the week that Mr Smith was getting twitchy.

If he is going to talk about a fair, two man tackle, one upper body and one lower body (which you have to on a big guy overwise he would make another 10 meters) then its really sad. Had the upmost respect for most of his comments after the game and seeing him shake hands with the wigan players at the end, top bloke, top coach. Let's just hope any negatives are a heat of the moment type of thing.

upmost respect for him and his club (although seeing morley and briers face was a great feeling.)

This.

Perfectly summed up, as soon as I saw Smith's reaction, you knew he was going to complain about the tackle though, its a common theme, lose to Wigan, have a whine about the tactics.

I thought it was a twist anyway? Its not like Coley crunched into his knee joint was it?

If Tony Smith wants to look at anyone it should be himself as head-coach for letting one of his players get so unfit. Solomona has always been a good with ball in hand, but he's disgracefully overweight for a professional athlete.

The tackle was neither illegal, nor malicious - it was round the legs of a player who was still in motion. End of.

And as for Solomona, if Wigan somehow spoiled Warrington's plans by "getting him carried off", then God help Warrington if a player in that condition is so vital to them.

The other day, when I said that Smith has emerged from his petulant era, I was clearly being over-generous. But then the guy probably feels a fool for labelling us 'boring' or whatever it was. We played 'the entertainers' off the park at their own game, outscoring 'the point-scoring machine' almost for fun.
