Brown appears to be a superb coach, with modern day techniques and a great style of play to win games

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.

Brown was my MOM today but the only players we should of kept is Briscoe, Wild and Gilmour but we have better back rowers coming through now so I am not fussed.
Although Phelps has been brilliant I would have Briscoe back anyday, there is nothing better than having a class player who wants to play for you club in one of your main positions.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS
Would only have Wild back of that lot. Why are people acting like it's the end of the world because we lost in the semi final of the challenge cup against a class side? People might claim Warrington aren't a class side but IMO they've been a sleeping giant for a long time. Now they have a quality coach it's all falling into place for them, they'll be tough to beat for any team at the moment.
All that the semi's have taught/reminded us is:
a - Our pack isn't good enough, we need a new prop and to sort out Paleaaesina's defence, probably by turning some fat into muscle. I'd say we need to sort out Fielden's attack but I think he's beyond help. Drop him to the academy and see if he stands out there even.
b - Noble isn't that great a coach, whether better is available I don't know.
