Rugby League - International

[Blaze]

oh and its the knights year this year

Really?

 

[superkingdave]

no, and neither has anyone else. Although there are rumours floating around about it having summat to do with Bradford, many of them pointing at Easter monday's glorious win over them, but nobody knows anything for sure what it is or if it is even about that at all

I heard something about an incident at the HJ with a PR rep

 

[Simon]

Really?

he supports Knights, so ill let him off the hook for that comment...

It is hard to keep track of all these Rugby League threads, guess it goes to show the popularity or League over any other code, which has only 1 thread at best.

That's what BBC Sport's Dave Woods thinks, too

Any idea what he did? Did it involve fisticuffs?

Speculation that Warrington didnt designate a press room and Millward refused to hold a press conference in a certain room after the win earlier in the year. Millward then took the press onto the pitch to give them his views and gave some PR rep a few choice words and Warrington complained. That said there's also rumours that its a catalogue of incidents

PR rep was a woman called Gina apparently btw

I find it hard to believe that as the match at the HJ was 8th March, so why didn't Warrington complain earlier?

HEY! I talk union whenever there is a new post from some one else in the thread

I've heard those, too. These are supposed to include

• Swearing at a Warrington media officer after being heckled while attending a post-match press conference in the grandstand because the club did not have adequate facilities.

• Angrily ordering Wigan winger Brian Carney out of a closed training session the Great Britain international had attended with broadcaster Sky TV.

• Being captured swearing on television during a recent match.

there's also talk of an Aussie player threatening to walk out if Millward gets sacked. Now who would walk out an their club?...

 

[BoyBrumby]

In today's Mirror it reckons Chris Anderson might replace Millward if he does get the boot:

A name being thrown around here is ex-St George-Illawarra and Great Britain coach David Waite

Do you reckon some of Millward's er, issues may be alcohol related? He has the complexion of a man who enjoys an ale or seven...

Is he know to frequent local hostelries?!

I think the Bird In th'and has a reputation for Saints personnel popping in every now and then. Jonny Vegas goes there, too

Millwards solicitor comfirms his crime is swearing
God no! Can't have people going around swearing!

Meanwhile, I spent about last night in the sit-down protest after Saints-York singing such brilliant songs as:

Ian Millwards barmy army

We want our Millward back/we want Macguire out

Sack the board

and my personal favourite He only said F*ck Off

got some rather crap pictures on my phone of it

 

[steds]

some more


The last one is the fans mascot, a 3 foot tall inflatable rubber spiderman wearing a Saints shirt, who yesterday had a picture of Ian Millwards face glued on top of his. Unforetunately, the fella who was dancing with it wouldn't stop for my picture.
