Don't think modern coaches would agree with you. I posted on Mike's board [ibefore[/i the CC final team was announced I thought Faz would get the nod because he fitted into the team better whereas Hock would possibly wander away form the game plan if things got to him.
Despite not being in favour of handing him a five year deal and being one who would not have lost any sleep had he not been given another chance by the club I won't write him off after one stupid act. The trouble is opposition sides will be trying to goad him into another having seen this and the question is can he be professional enough not to react? If he reacts and does something daft again then his best hope for a future at Wigan is Wane is not like Madge because Madge would not play anyone who he thinks was a liability.
Even now if he only gets a one match ban for the punch I'd be surprised if he were picked for the final if we get there. |

Just what I was thinking. Started a mini brawl. Could have been ugly. Players who run in are usually dealt with. Briers isn't even mentioned.
Tommy was referred for grabbing a foot!  |

I am sure that modern coaches would disagree with me but you have to take the rough with the smooth with players like that. I like the regimented style of Wigan's game but i also like the thrills that a player like Hock bring to the table. |

Could somebody explain to me the difference in Tomkins holding two fingers up to the opposing fans, and briers clapping the opposing fans with a smirk on his face, surely they both mean exactly the same? F.......F. One obvious, one obviously disguised.

One's a blatant and daft gesture, the other is playing the panto villain to perfection. |

How many times has Joel done this and how many times has he been banned for it. |

Absolutely, that's why wire loved Les Boyd.
The guy was probably the biggest thug to ever play RL.
The thing is, when he decided to play the game instead of trying to literally kill the opposition he was a class front rower. So don't take any crap from the 'whiter than white' wire fans.
They still revere him now.
IIRC he was [i'sine died' [/idownunder. |
