One thing we MUST learn from Wigan : Sat Oct 05, 2013 7:44 pm  
Their culture. No, not the culture of the town, you can put your Mum's skirt down. I mean the club's mentality. They are coached by a deranged gorilla, but no matter how average the players are that they put out, they all go out with the mentality of 17 Japanese kamikaze pilots. Ultra aggressive from the first minute of the season to the last, no a complete disregard for their health.

To come back from 16-2 down today was simply magnificent. As much as I despise their very being, we must learn to adopt their mentality. The aggression, the clinical execution, the never say die attitude.

I think we used to have that mentality, when we were winning things. But we won't see that mentality under Brown. He's far too casual.

Crazy thing is, this double winning team with great culture only finished one place above us in the league table.

Not sure Ratchfords legs would have reacted quite the way they did had the tackle been to his hip.

It really wasn't to his hip.

We obviously need to learn to target key opposition players with dangerous tackles with the intention of making sure they leave the field thus disrupting the oppositions flow.

That aside you have a point re intensity and aggression, the majority of the season our pack especially had neither.

Sounds like the kind of bootylicking posts we used to get on the Wire forum every time you beat us in the last five minutes to extend your winning run over us "we should copy Saints they have a never say die culture blah blah".
