This whole outcry about Wane's pre-match talk at the WCC really is beginning to annoy me. As many have said, similar sentiments are conveyed every week both by rugby league and rugby union coaches, professional and amateur. Emotive and exaggerated language is used to gee up one's players and get them into an aggressive frame of mind. Nothing new at all - rugby has always been a very physical game.
I am not sure how many on here have ever seen the Sky reviews of the Lions Rugby Union tours - they tend to show them late at night every so often. The sentiments expressed and swearing in these videos is just as bad if not worse than anything Wane said. Listen to Jim Telfer (coach), Martin Johnson, Brian Moore and Dallalgio amongst others f...ing and blinding, " smash the f...ing c...ts, rip the ba....rds' heads off, break their f...ing legs" etc etc and - and some of it said by some surprising characters -Jerry Guscutt and I think even Jonny Wilkinson could be heard effing! This is what happens in a rugby changing room - it may offend people, but it happens!
This holier than thou attitude of some posters, particularly several Saints and Wire fans, on here is nauseating and simply hypocritical - or maybe it just reveals they do not know and understand as much about the game as they think........

Excellent post.

I don't suppose you'll get much response though because deep down they will know you are right.

I suspect Hohaia's attack was prompted more by the hit to the back of the head he had just received from Ben Coward.

When LH deliberately looks at the line of BF's run and then steps across the front of him to obstruct him. Then he has to expect that a 17 stone prop will most likely run through him rather than around him. If turner got a knocked out of the way a couple of times maybe the refs would pick up on his blatant obstructions. Or he might think twice about it.

Nothing wrong with running across Flowers line in open play as long as there was no contact, LH is a lot faster than Flower and I think he knew he had no chance of running around him so in total frustration he punched LH to the side of the head from behind causing LH to go to ground. All started by Flower and Finished by Flower.

I suppose it's quite easy calling a six foot seventeen stone prop a coward from the safety of your keyboard eh?

Yes it is .......... but I'd be just as happy calling it him to his face........... not that you'll choose to believe that, nor (unfortunately) am I likely to get the opportunity.

If you look carefully, you will find it is actually his wife's keyboard.

She lets him use it when he is a good boy.

You can get the opportunity easily. Just hang around outside the DW, or your own stadium, on match-day. The teams don't enter by magic carpet. They get off coaches and walk across the forecourt. Loads of fans know this, because they line up for autographs etc. You can even use a mobile phone to immortalise your moment of excellence, and you can then post it on here - just to prove you aren't a cowardly, full-of-sh** little creep.

From the one who is quite happy dishing out his own personal attacks.
