| Quote: nitsua "Being deaf, I'm fairly good at lip reading.
During the final of the 1996 Middlesex Sevens that Wigan won, one of the Wasps players gave Shaun Edwards an
unprovoked punch in the face. In rugby league he would certainly have received a red card. Shaun was naturally
incensed and said "f*****g animal w****r". I'm pretty sure he didn't say "flipping animal winker". ![]()
Lots of folk could lip read, including my old Mum who follows Wigan still.
Having worked in the old cotton mills all their working lives, apart from WW2, they used to 'me mo' all day long.
I could get away with nowt with my old Mum. 
She didn't miss a trick.

That's why your Mum, like me, is deaf. The noise from the machinery over the years destroyed her hearing. 
These days anyone working in a noisy environement, is equipped with ear muffs.

| Quote: Rogues Gallery "The Wasps player was Lawrence Dallaglio, and what he Shaun called him was far worse than you have posted. ![]()
It wasn't Dallaglio. He was a much younger player than Dallaglio and he certainly said what I quoted. It must have been in another incident with Dallaglio, who incidentally became a great admirer of Shaun when he eventually coached the Wasps.

Wasn't it Dallaglio who became firm friends with Edwards after 'connecting' due to them both going through the grieving process after having both recently lost siblings? |

I remember watching the old BBC Floodlit trophy when Eddie Waring commented "he's kicked the ball into the empty crowd".

On the morning of the 1984 Cup Final v Widnes, Alex Murphy and Vince Karalius were being interviewed on breakfast television.
Murphy - "Look at him, he looks like someone out of Shawaddywaddy".

Another one from Eddie during a floodlit cup game at Warrington was, " The shadows are lengthening here at Wilderspool". |

Andy Gregory & Steve Hampson were playing their first game for Illawarra having just flown in the day before. In the dressing room before th game the coach says "right lads, I know you're jet-lagged but give me a big 40 minutes and we'll pull you off at half time". Greg turns to Hampo and says "they know how to look after players over here, we only get a cup of tea and a bit of orange at Wigan....."

Greg was speaking at the Lance Todd awards dinner in 2011 and was asked by Jack Dearden what his favourite Wembley memory was, to which he replied it'd have to be beating Saints 29-0.
Right on cue, half a dozen or so Saints fans shouted out something along the lines of 'It was 27-0 you fat Wigan b*stard'.
Greg then said everytime he tells that story he gets the same reaction from Saints fans telling him the right score, and that 'I get the Wigan score wrong sometimes, but I always remember it ends in St. Helens nil'.

He always tells that one, did it at a refs do I was at about 10 years ago. Another one of his during a game
AG "If I say you're a bent b*stard what will happen?"
Ref "You'll be off"
AG "What if I just think you're a bent b*stard"
Ref "That's fine"
AG "OK, I think you're a bent b*stard!" |
