In a funny way it was good to see the coaches and chairmen all getting on during the game. I really think they all wanted Wigan to slip up tonight. Was good to see Madge wave after the game, i am hoping it was in their direction to say its not over yet. |

| Quote: Bull Mania "To be honest i think it was rather disrespectful of Smith not turning up. No matter what we all think of it, it gets media attention. Smith might not like the club call, but he has a duty to help promote the game, if he doesn't like it, go to a call centre job, 8 - 6 5 days a week.'"
Exactly my point. |

| Behave.. i found it rather funny watching Brian Mcdermott scratching his head looking like his world had ended in the background when Maguire was talking.
Morley was there to represent the wire..  |

Yeah thats right, with his child. Are you sure that wasnt Smith because he has acted like one all week.

Should have been like it was before, all behind a desk, chairman and coach. It was a farce Smith not being there. A little arrogant dont you think? Would have been great to get the reaction of each coach after the annoncement.'"
Maybe he has decided it would be better to have a media blackout?
Surely it's better that the coaches and players do their talking on the pitch than to the media? |

Why was it a farce? Had he been told to be there by the RFL or SL, then he would have been. What's arrogant about it? |

Wasnt well organised. I remember the first one when they were all sat round a desk, the reaction of the opposition when Heatherington announced it. Maybe its just like Madge putting a media ban on this week.
Do you think he should have attended? |

I dont see the problem to be honest. He hasnt done anything wrong, we all think its a sh*t concept so we can hardly call him for not caring about it. |

Agree with this all the way. The same thing will happen each year. Only a deluded fool would pick anyone but the lowest placed team left in the competition. |

In that case there were several deluded fools on here from Warrington last week, assuring us that in the unlikely event we beat Catalan, they would rather play us than Leeds. Yeah, right. |

Smith wasn't obliged to attend the announcement, since the RFL said from the off that the chairman makes the decision (in public anyway). Stop picking at things that aren't there and worry about Saints next week.

Look at Brian Macs reaction... He knew he was up against the Wire all along.
Should go back to 1v8 and no second chances.
THIS CURRENT SYSTEM IS A FARCE.

Completely agree. If you pick anyone other than the lowest ranked team and lose, all hell will break loose. |
