In fairness to Wane he does give credit where its due and yes his reponse about the tackle was the correct one.

I hope and prefer to think that it wasnt malicous and just one of those things that you can put down to poor technique as you say.

He's so sly Albert it's untrue. It's the second week on the trot he's gone near players eyes for them to then lash out and give him a penalty (with Danny Brough picking up a ban for his trouble). Both weeks he knows exactly what he's doing but he keeps it just the right side of an eye gouge to stay clear of disciplinary trouble.

In a weird way it was good to see some ill feeling back in the Wigan/Leeds fixture last night. They were so poor it wasn't really there last year but they look decent this year and it was good to see them whipping up a bit of intensity against our half strength team. That bit of needle will help focus the minds of our proper team when (if) we get the injured lads back and play Leeds again. Brian McDermott said it was the best they'd played all year which is a pat on our back really. They'll have to play a dam site better to get over a Wigan side including 8 missing starters plus Gildart!

How nobody has ever put Ablett over the stand leaves me a little bewildered. He looks like a soft shoite and acts like a soft shoite so why he has never been slotted just leaves me baffled.
I'm ok with Ferres as long as what goes around comes around is in force in the next game between us. Hope Sutton chins him good and proper early doors.
Losing always hurts but with so many young kids playing I'm quite relaxed about last night which really is a problem with the current set up. A loss to Leeds should hurt but I dint give a fishes tit.

I said the same thing on my board about the aggression, love seeing it in a Leeds Wigan game, show the players care (not including Ferres in that btw)

Ablett is a bit of a snide but he didnt do anything illegal and got exactly what he wanted, Nuausala dropped the ball on his next carry cos he was too busy looking for Ablett, whilst he went over for the winner (he is having his best season in years fwiw)

Next game youll have bateman, Farrell and your skipper back and they will do similar and we will all boo them and complain on our board and the circle of RL life continues

I hope we have McIlorum, O'Loughlin and Bateman back for the next game v Leeds and see how those "tough guys" Ablett and Ferres go.
btw you probably will

Ferres tweeted an apology btw, in case you didnt see

About as sincere as his marriage vows!!

No hes still playing.
Still picking up grand final winners trophies.
Now picking up World Club champions trophies.

It can be difficult keeping up to date when you've spent all last season hiding under a stone somewhere, cut them some slack, eh?

Bad foul by Ferres, malicious and dangerous and I'm not about to defend it.

Is Ablett's niggling worth a mention in the same thread? Seems to trivialise Ferres' actions if anything.

Singleton got five games for blindsiding Bird; Ferres merits more IMO. I'd be well p***ed off if one of yours had tried a stunt like that. Hope Gildart's ok.

It got worse every time I watched it. What was he thinking?
