Anyone else loving the rest of the rugby league worlds whining

Mick ' cry baby ' Potter knows we cheated and he is going to tell

yeh course we cheated

We got caned for penalties in the second half, and were one man down for 10 minutes, and still he's complaining!

What a joke.

Lets not forget he blamed the weather, claiming Saints were playing in winter rugby conditions. I have yet to understand how we werent playing in the same weather.

Localised conditions.

Wigan end : dry and sunny.
Stains end : heavy downpours of sorrow and gnashing of teeth.

It's hard for average coaches to accept they have been comprehensively and thoroughly outclassed by one of the best young NRL coaches in the game.

Nathan Brown is probably one of the only coaches to handle defeat with such grace and sportsmanship. His comments after the Saints/Hudds game were nice to see.

Richard Agar, Terry Matterson and now Mick Potter. Face it lads, Mike MaGuire is the best coach in Super League.

You didn't hear Tony Smith complaining do you? I have respect for the job he is doing at Warrington.

....but when they get the new stadium surely they'll become a better team overnight. Ala the Salford phenomenon.

We do push that tactic to the limit, and as I have said on other threads, I am often worried that we will give away a penalty each time.

However, it's playing to the rules, so there is no debate imo.

I've more an issue with the ref than Wigan. Wigan play the lying on game to the limit and if the ref allows them to do it, they will carry on.

The ref was awful yesterday (for both teams to be fair), he was blowing up constantly and it made for a stop start game. It was a disappointing spectacle.

Full credit to Wigan though, I thought defensively you were great.

I agree.

Coaches who are serious about wanting to be among the best should learn from their defeats, not come up with any excuse they can as to why it wasn't their fault.

I'm afraid there are some perennial whingers in SL, and Agar, Matterson and Potter are classic examples.

Going back a few years, I first realised we'd bought a lemon in John Dorahy when he immediately began making unconvincing excuses for our defeats. I'd never heard Graham Lowe or John Monie do that.

What was the penalty count again?

They won it, but we still cheated.

I think it finished 14 penalties each.

Just watched the game on Sky+.

Wigan deserved to win you were the better team.

viewtopic.php?f=18&t=451544 seems like he's not very happy with our tactics! he doesnt mention the 2nd half when we got absolutly hammered on penalties!
