Quote: saintnickle34 "I think you will find that at least 3 superleague coaches have spoken out about wigans underhand tactics this year.A lot of what they do is certainly against the spirit of the game if not illegal.Maguire is a very good coach in that he has got wigan playing far better than they should be with the players he has,and has got them super fit,but part of me wants him gone because of the tactics they employ and the sneaky way they try and bend some of the rules.For instance The first half when foster was kicking a pen all wigans players walked towards him to deliberately put him off .This is just one of many tactics employed by him and the sooner he returns to oz the better the game will be.'"

Quote: SaintsFan "as well as two tackles in the air, both of which went unpunished.'"


Not sure about 2, but there was definitely one where the Saints players whined about their man being "taken out in the air", to which the ref rightly pointed out that the ball had bounced BEFORE the man jumped up while it was on the rebound, which means that the hit is LEGAL.

I quote from the RFL rule-bookMid-air tackle 1. (b) It is illegal to tackle an opposing player attempting to field a kick whilst the player is in mid-air. The catcher must have returned to the ground before being tackled. (See Section 15.).'"


Therefore, if you jump to field the kick and are taken out, it is a penalty.
However, if you let the ball bounce, you are no longer "fielding a kick" and a mid-air shot is absolutely fine.

Stop whining and learn the rules.

Quote: twosevenzero "Erm, remind me again how Morley got his eye injury, I seem to remember it being in the game v Saints in an 'incident' that lead to a St Helens player getting a ban, but I must be wrong as they never commit any fouls.'"



Ok. I will remind you again. Morleys injury was accidental and in no way related to the banning of any Saints player whatsoever. It was thought by Eddie H. that the incidents were related but they were not.

Sadly live in St Helens and the Reporter is a joke for its reporting on Saints games. If they win, it is because they are magnificent/untouchable/blessed with the best talent available. If they lose they were unlucky/cheated by the refs/not given the rub of the green.

I think they expect that everyone in St Helens supports Saints. Well, they must do because the reporting is so cockeyed to be anything like the games themselves. icon_rolleyes.gif

Isn't it just the same in Wigan? I've read Wigan papers and the journalists are no different.Not everyone in Wigan supports the Warriors. You must have missed reading the paper when the journalists have been putting the team down etc. Or you turn a blind eye to it.

Well I get it every week and yet have to see the reporter give a less than rose tinted view on saints games..of course I expect them to be biased as you point out the same can be said for Wigan papers..but the point of the thread was to do with the comments of Simmonds they just happened to be in the reporter.

I think he had a lot more to smile about than anyone your side of the hill. If you wanna talk about dour, incommunicative, personality free coaches let's have a chat about your coach designate eh.

Quote: Deano G "I wonder whether he may have inadvertently revealed why he can't run very fast. It's no wonder, really. Just glad I'm not the Saints kitman.
Nobody would pretend that pace was ever Wello's biggest attribute. However, if you have Sky+, take a look at his first try and you'll see he was quick enough to waltz round three of your defenders. Bunnykins included.

When Saints lost in the last minute on Good Friday afterwards Simmons was asked how he felt about losing it at the end he said "well it's better than laying 2000 bricks a day".
I've never heard that one used by a coach before.

Quote: Conroy "So only Wigan players threw high shots?

I see.'"


Should know by now its on that ridiculously long list of things only Wigan do! Think its inbetween only team to have 3 men make a tackle and only team to pass the ball forward!! Not far away from only team to have a coach who doesnt moan to the media about other teams or the ref and only team to have full time players pre super league!!

Wigan go a long way, inflicting serious injuries on the opposition. John Stankevitch is still not happy about the goon finishing his career.
