Actually, they were very boring under Noble. The word dire comes into mind.

I have thoroughly enjoyed our matches under Maguire. The fitness and SKILLS of the team have improved immensely.

Warrington do play some magnificent rugby but lets not pull a veil over their defensive tactics. They go out to smash the opposition so they cannot play attractive rugby. That's why their defence and Wigan's defence are just about equal.

A team always tries to defend well and restrict the opposition. Wigan do it by wrestling technique and Warrington do it by 'in your face' defence, charging down kicks, lying up in the centre positions for interceptions and ball stealing. All's fair in love and cup ties.

Melbourne's performance against the Broncos this morning was a near perfect defensive display against one of the most attacking sides in the NRL, defense will probably win Melbourne the league this season and give them a great shot at the play offs. As for the Smiths comments I was more entertained by Melbourne's display than I have been with any Warrington game this season.

Personally i think this was aimed at our squad and our fans, the south stand could easily be accused of not being in full voice on quite a few occasions 'pressure the ref' being code for keep the noise up, and the comment on entertainment is just covertly saying go out there and express yourselves. I don't think any of that was aimed at Wigan, Smith has more class than that.

He doesn't criticize wigan be refuses to talk about us and instead says what he wants wire to play like and I know he may be implying we dont do this but you can't say that for sure.



Smith is an example of pure professionalism he wouldn't get into what kear did last year.

Wigans average attendance went up when we were bottom of the league and playing some really poor rugby.

Smith argues for an expansive game . Is that why they have such a big pack ?

That doesn't even make sense.

Well get him on speaker phone now to explain exactly what he meant.

All he is saying imo is he likes his teams to throw the ball around more. Smashing crap teams isnt entertainment to me which is basically where all the wire bumming has originated from.

what ever way you look at it warrington have the best offensive team in superleague! you'd be waxing lyrically if it was wigan, get over yourself!
