[b:2q2mjndn]"What was it like out there Sam?"[/b:2q2mjndn]
"F*cking hard mate"
Queensland great Sam Backo live on telly to nine's Tim Sheridan after being named man of the match in a state of origin game in 1988.: |
|
| Quote: DaveO "He got clobbered twice for his troubles. The first was very late and went on report and floored him. It looked quite bad at first but he got to his feet and went off. He then came back on again some minutes laterand got another one round the chops.
The defence for their first two tries was awful but we always had enough on attack partly down to playing against 12 men.
Very scrappy from Wigan overall but given the players we had out I certainly wasn't expecitng a canter against Wakefield who have not been playing badly this season.'"
I must agree it was a very scrappy game probably down to the amount of games in a short period we didnt have the same intensity, Wakefield came with a plan i think to ruff up our youngsters and there was some cheap shots in there like you said dave, Burke kopped 2 or 3 but to his credit came straight back on, i think he was our best player yesterday and set up a couple of tries too. Our defence was poor in certain areas Green and Taylor might be ran through the mill this week for a couple of poor efforts but on the posititve side of things i was very impressed with greens distribution he's coming good which is great to see. Gutted for tuson hes been in great form of late, like a new signing looks like another layoff for him. Bring on the bulls, selection headache for Wane!

| As others have stated, it was a scrappy game. I thought Poore had led with a raised arm before the incident that led to his card, so, in a way, it wasn't a surprise.
It was handbags thereafter, and it reminded me of Fielden/Mason...I don't think Farrell was expecting the beauty he got flush on the jaw.
Some poor defence for the first two Wakefield tries, especially the second.
At times we made hard work of making the extra man count, but, a win....they all count.

Thank you for the sentiments, but what Sam does at the play at the ball isn't breaking any rule, just the fact that it winds up the opposition doesn't mean he can't do it.
Btw, when he plays like he did yesterday I'm not bothered what he does as long as its not breaking the rules.

I also think that teams who come with a remit to spoil and slow things down can't complain when the opposition makes efforts to highlight this.

Also the treatment Sam got was quite ridiculous. So many high and cheap shots that the ref just ignored. Sam normally takes it well but you could tell by the end he was getting fed up with it.

I don' t know which is the more impressive - Poore's right hand or his ale gut.

Your having a laugh right? You had someone around the neck pretty much every tackle. The first two times (and possibly the only two) we tackled Tomkins you got penalties so where did the ref ignore them. I'll give you he didn't penalise Tomkins for trying to step off the mark at the play the ball and pushing our players when they rightly did not move to allow him to do so.

Give it a rest. Wigan were doing their fair share of slowing things down at the play the ball (Farrell tries to turtle the man every tackle, 2nd efforts and what not). Hicks allowed both teams to get away with it on the majority of occasions and only penalised it every now and again.
You can't blame our players for working within the parameters the ref allows, especially when were down to 12 men.
If you got a penalty everytime the crowd shouted for one (only time we heard any of you, other then when you scored a try), the world record for penalties would have been broken twice over.
Our team are no angels, but please don't try and make out that your team do no wrong.

I didn't. I responded to your complaint that Tomkins was making an issue of being interfered with when trying to play the ball quickly. Getting irritated when you're being impeded isn't against the rules either.

That bleedin' Sam Tomkins again, playing the ball quickly against an inferior team with 12 men.
Anyone would think he wants to win or summert.
No mention so far of the off-the-ball shoulder charge on Burke.
They play the game right do Wakey.

Obviously nothing thought of the mellars incident by the disciplinary committee since he was not charged with anything that I have seen despite the incident being put on report.
Maybe they thought they would have to deal with Farrell putting the knee into poore before he got put on his arris if they decided to do owt to mellars.
Sad that the majority of u can't accept your as bad as any one else when it comes to high shots and slowing the play the ball down.
Mind you I agree you should be more concerned about how an inferior team with one man less can score 24 points against you and have another 3 or 4 opportunities to do so.

It's ok, the season only starts proper in the playoffs... But you don't need to worry about that...

So you don't disagree with what I say then. Glad we cleared that up.
I suspect that you'll only go out of the play offs with a whimper, whilst you and the rest of your blinkered fans (with your delusions of grandeur) claim to have lost due to inferior opposition coming to slow the game down and employing "rough house tactics"
