Anyone else in Corporate last night and hear Newman after the game?
Rob Oates asked him about the performance and what Rohan had said to the lads before kick off
Newman went on to say how the boys wanted to work for eachother, togetherness blah blah blah, then goes on to say "well, Rohan said they’re a 2 man team, and yeah French and Field are good players, but I had them in my back pocket tonight”!!
As much as he needs to stay grounded, you’ve got to love the kid’s belief in himself and his enthusiasm. Cracking speech and a great bit of $hithousery in there as well.
I may be in a minority on here but i think it's a bit disappointing if that's what Newman said, particularly about Wigan been a 2 man team. Thinking it and keeping it in house is one thing, but saying it in a public environment is poor imo. The respect Peet showed to Leeds in his after game interview was excellent. He comes across as class act. I appreciate he is the coach and Newman only a player, but I could never recall a similar public comment by Sinny, McGuire, Burrow etc.
