Unfortunately it's not worked and he's had two blinders against us. Next week we need to ignore him and get behind the team - that'd wind him up more than giving him attention..
World Class post Ginge, Songs and chants at sporting events are used to inspire your team or break your opposition to get a result, nobody wants anyone to die, your just looking for an advantage.
Remember the "Gaarrryyy......Garrryyyy" chants at Connolly complete with actions reaily upset his game, it just depends on the player, "Dodgy Hodgy" is another one get in his head and he'll cock it up against you and play out of his skin for you.
Some players it inspires remember "Alan hunte is a rugby genius", fairytale zero to hero there and he is still there now producing our talented youngsters, bet them dark days inspired him on.

Coley imo played a blinder here, wigan had just edge ahead in the arm wrestle, the salford players looked a bit dejected and needed lifting, i wouldnt have been surprised if a message had been sent out for coley to do what he did. We saw our cup final dreams slipping away coley laughing and joking reacts to our "taunting", we go nuts and forget to get behind the team, the players here it, think the games gone, by the time we've all calm down wigan have scored twice more and the salford players are looking for the hooter.
Abusing coley inspires him, he destroyed us at the willows and as soon as we got on his back he played out of his skin again, Coley wants to play at the highest level he can like any profesional sportsperson, he used us like he used swinton to get to where he is now.
when he retires he'll probably want to be referred to as "ex-wigan warrior and Great Britain International Andy Coley", it will give him a walm glow inside.
Reality is he wasnt a great britain international, he was a bit part player on massive wages in a poor wigan side who only played when somebody gave him abuse, mostly against salford, thats a message for anyone thinking about moving on to bigger and better things because if your not going to saints or leeds to be a main player it might not be better, you might be richer but happy not sure.
I agree with Divaolla Rossi we should have given him the same treatment when he played (well he didnt did he) for us in 2007, might have played a bit then.
