It feels ‘almost’ as though some Saints fans would actually prefer Kristian Woolf to win this series. The offence you guys have taken at Wane calling him out is ridiculous. He has used some usual Woolf whinging to help give his players a mentality of us against them and good on him for it. You’re English, so why it offends you so much is a mystery (well it’s not) You’re saying Wane looks an idiot, which just blows my mind. He’ll be the coach who’ll be sat with a series win and likely a whitewash victory come next week. He’s missing loads of players, has seen more players pull out mid series but he just cracks on with no excuses.

If we want to make it a Wigan and Saints thing, I would say a major difference between the clubs in recent years is one club has a ‘no excuses’ policy and one does not. I think this series has given a real insight in to where that stems from.

There you go again Billy Big Bollox

Sorry but you’ve twisted my words here. At no point have I wanted Tonga to win. I’m English and they are my country.

I’ve explained why I’ve taken exception to Wane’s comments. How am I making it Wigan v Saints when I’ve suggested Peet as a coach?

Maybe Wane and Woolf are doing a bit of WWE and trying to sell a few tickets

It’s a fair point and something we don’t do enough in Rugby League. Why not have a dig at each other?! I certainly am looking forward to a dead runner more next week than I would be usually because of all this.

You are correct on both counts but Redvee is so funny, it makes me smile. It is littered with individuals who know nothing about rugby league which makes it even funnier.

Not twisting any words, not even mentioned you when I said ‘some’ Saints fans seem to be actively backing Woolf and Tonga in this series. I just can’t understand why Wane going at Woolf is a problem for any England fan. He’s 2-0 up in the series and that’s what we all want isn’t it?

I’m sick of seeing Wane bagged (other than battering him for his treatment of Farrell yesterday, which was disgraceful) for his time with England. We absolutely made a pigs ear of the WC semi but everyone forgot how good we’d been until that point. We were absolutely outstanding until that semi and played a brand of rugby that was great to watch. He’s won his first proper series now and we’re building. The desperation I see across social media and other platforms to see Wane fall flat on his face is pretty pathetic. I saw a comment before that said ‘he’s only interested in Wigan’…wtf is all that about?! He picks a Wiganer and he’s biased, he leaves one out and he’s resting them for Wigan. He treated a Wigan legend and the countries best second rower like an absolute mug yesterday and no doubt somebody will find a narrative that it was all about doing what’s best for Wigan.

Every time England win a game against a Southern hemisphere team whether that be in the WCC, or at test level, we always make excuses for them why they lost. 'the ruck was slow', 'it was raining', 'x players were missing' etc. But the conditions are the same for both teams, and we had players missing, so if the gap was really as wide as we're constantly told it is, then surely, they'd win easily? However, to me, put Williams, Young, and Farnworth into this team on a dry track, we win by 20+ points in both games.

The narrative is that he only put his mate Faz on in the last few minutes so he wouldn't be exposed and found wanting against the big Tongan pack who would have, apparently, ripped him a new one. Oh...and to add another cap to his CV.

Redvee really is a source of joy at the moment

Moving on from Wane v Woolf..

Was talking to Jack Smith yesterday at my lads football. He was saying it was a difficult game to referee on Saturday.

I had no idea he was from Wigan, I thought he was from Yorkshire but he’s from Standish.

He was saying that if they hadn’t changed the rules with where a ref is from they would be knackered. There’s 3 SL refs now from Wigan- him and the Moore brothers.

No wonder Wigan won the comp

Southern Hemisphere teams are so much better than us lot, what with them playing in the NRL that in reality we will never win a series against any of them,HOLD on a minute looks like we can win,now it is down to the weather,ruck speed,pitch etc etc why we win.Give me a break, in this series we are a better team and better coached.
Am sick of so called fans putting our RL down.

They've been telling us for years how our forwards aren't big enough. Now they have the smallest prop rotation in the League apparently it's not a problem any more. They're still the best 1-17 in the comp despite having no pace, misfiring halves and a prop rotation with little go forward.
