| Quote: GCM1980 "As I said, the game is won on the pitch. You'll never have conclusive proof as to how much the press talk affected the players. If Leeds win I certainly won't be claiming that the mind games played a part. I'd prefer to believe that we were the better team on the night and got the tactics spot on. If Wigan win, the same goes for them.'"
Conversely, if Leeds come out and put a few head high shots in on Mark Riddell or Thomas Leuluai, you would have to argue that is was premeditated in the media by Jamie Peacock.
Likewise, if Mark Riddell or Thomas Leuluai have a shocker, you could make a case for Jamie Peacock's comments affecting them.
I accept the point you are trying to make though. |

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

Let's all hope for that.
Hopefully, the sport will win through instead of all this football-style media rubbish we're being subjected to.

| The funniest thing is though that the Leeds fans are trying to make out that its a bad thing that our club isnt crying to the press all the time and just concentrating on the game  |

well when his coach did it straight afterthe game i didnt expect anything else form his players. i hope they get so fired up they come out swinging.
just a quick question, if the worst happens, and hudds get beat by saints, who do you shout for GF night. gotta admitt, i think id want saints to win. ( right im off to jump in the shower after that last comment, i feel tainted) but i really cant stand leeds at all, at least i have respect for st helens. |

Hmmmm ? Yes it takes a brave man to wind up opponents , call them cowards & then face them on the field.
O - Hang on ? He's not playing is he 
I guess the Wigan players will have to sort it in their own minds,but I don't think they'll go far wrong following the example of their coach  |

Apparently the Wigan players have been ordered not to speak to the press. Hardly standard protocol in the lead up to a big game.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it now. I think it will be a brutal physical game but I don't think we'll see any dirty play unless one team starts to run away with it and the other gets frustrated.

He probably prefers to keep a low profile, given the unheard of levels of cheating at his previous club. 
But nobody at Melbourne knew anything about what was going on, honest guv. |

Well, we're all trumpeting the man's "class" so it's pretty relevant IF he knew anything about what was going on at Melbourne. Might explain his reluctance to rant to the press too much, given the press backlash in Oz against a regime he was part of.
FWIW I like him. Good scope for "aww mate" drinking games too  |
