The minute he was sent off, the game become massive for saints as a loss to a 12 man Wigan would have knocked our confidence big time.

Wane as been banging on how much he wanted to win so I'd imagine it did mean something.

It was a late hit to the head & a straight forward red card. That's enough. He broke the rules & was punished accordingly. I've seen Saints players do similar things & get a free pass so I can't really understand the righteous indignation. It was good refereeing ( for once).

I don't listen to anything Wane says..the sooner he is out the door the better, never wanted him to take over , then the widnes fiasco happened... and tonight he had the audacity to defend mcillorum , the man is an arrogant tit..

Point out the free passes.

Yeah I mean who would want a man who coached a (supposedly) weaker side than the previous year, in his first year as coach, and get them to finish top of the league.

But yes Mcillorum is a thug , well he was tonight anyway

If anything, tonight could serve as an important mental boost, a huge weight off our shoulders. Going into the play-offs on the back of 4 defeats in a row to you would have been horrible.

Disgusting tackle from a cheap shot merchant. Similar to when Newton nailed Long all them years ago. Luckily James Child grabbed hold of his nuts and set him off - not sure many other refs would have done so.

The most amusing thing about this is Wane's reaction: ridiculously biased.

Re: Micky Mac = Thug : Sat Sep 08, 2012 12:57 am  

Pure thuggery plain and simple. We need a return to the days of 8 game bans for that kind of cheapshot, but no doubt he will return in plenty of time for the final regardless.

To me the win was fairly pyrrhic to be honest. We were still pretty 1-dimensional throughout and laboured to beat them even down to 12 men for most of the match. I think there's little doubt they'd have churned us up and won by 8-10 points on the night if the greatest #9 in the world wasn't a weasly cheapshot scumbag. The win won't hurt confidence but ultimately we'll need to up it another few levels from that showing to have a chance at getting mulllered at O/T again.

that was michael maguires team and coaching...when players start drifting away youll soon see how good bullfrog head is as a coach ...arrogant wayne in his playing days wasnt even a good player ..so how the likes of brett finch and pat richards can take coaching advice from a plonker like wayne who was useless as a player is beyond me...he was only given the job to save money bringing in an overseas coach...
