Agree with that last bit in a big way. People werent happy about that numpty (cant remember his name) on the radio saying it about Amos early in season but now they are doing it! Some people have short memories.

McGuire is the biggest cheat in the game. He cost us the Challenge Cup QF with his blatent cheating, and now he's cost us a home SF in the Prem trophy with blatent, blatent cheating.
He got injured because he cheated. I hope he fit enough to play RL again on the 3rd October.

Senior tested this rule earlier in the year, so we already knew the answer. Personally I think both should have been off for kicking out.

As for the penalty, Crusaders would feel very hard done by if we hadn't gotten the penalty, they suffered that recently, only difference is Pat failed.

As for McGuire, hopefully that will put players off taking out players off the ball, seriously annoying, but I'd assume it was worth it to him.

Now to get some form back on Friday.

Bad loser

Nowt up with him that asmack round the head with a 3 x 2 couldnt sort out. He was fit enough to smile at Mclennan as he came off then fit enough to give the speccies the finger. He'll play next game cheating 2@

I honestly think we may struggle next week but if we do get through it I hope and pray we play Leeds. I would want to win that game more then any other game I can remember in an awful long time and we are more then capable of doing it.

Getting there could prove tricky though.

I think (and hope) that a lot of the negative comments about McGuire are due to post match anger and are heat of the moment.

I'm surprised by the lack of professionalism by the Leeds set up. Apparently, McClennan gobbed back at some Wigan fans outside of the ground and then there was all the on field antics from Lauitiiti, Sinfield et al. It's a sad state of affairs when a team who have had such success in recent years have to resort to cheap, unprofessional behaviour.

*COUGH*Sam Tomkins*COUGH*

We lost it ourselves, shi*te kicking game when Deacs went off, stupid penalties, boring attack etc.
Theres loads of ifs and buts.
Ref was awful...for both teams, so it didn't really affect the game so much.
the only thing i'll 'moan' about is i think we could have scored at the end there had Maguire not 'cheated' as we'll put it, you can't justify that by saying any player would have done it, yes they would, but it's still illegal. I'm not happy he got injured, but nor to i feel sorry for him.
Leeds had a poor first 20 minutes or so then they showed up and blew us away really, Greg Eastwood was awesome as was Rob Burrow.
Whilst it would have been an exciting game, discipline was poor form both sides, J Tomkins showed himself up(as did Sam imo, thoughi need to watch those again) and Leeds players gobbing off.
Also people saying Richars bottled it, they were not easy kicks by any stretch of the imagination, the last one was near impossible. It may be harder but if we want to get to old trafford and are good enough then we will, we've already over achieved this year'.

BLATANT

Does no one in Wigan go to school any more ?

There's some interesting irony in your post there, i'll leave you to study grammar and determine what it is. And before you try any smart comebacks, i'm not the one trying to imply a lack of education, my own spelling and grammar are not particularly good, hence I wouldn't have normally pulled somebody up on it.

Are you taking the Michael?

Very good!!

That was Saints, but never mind.

(Bradford and Wigan are equal on 4 breaches, including Wigan's "spirit of the cap", Saints have at least 5, suspected 6)

Pot calling the kettle black.

What about tomkins cheating to win penalties?

You bottled it.

Deal with it.

I already knew you were an idiot after your pathetic "Look at Wigan" thread on our board earlier in the season but you have just elevated yourself to Ewwenorfolk level. Your a disgrace to Wigan and the rest of your fans.

You don't really hope that, do you?

That's the difference. Gamesmanship goes on all the time. Players dropping the ball an getting penalties for having the ball stolen etc. It goes on all the time. Taking players out is not gamesmanship and is pure cheating.

Most sensible in the whole thread that one. What McGuire did any player on either side would have done. Simple as. Best of luck next week.

Spot on.

It was a cynical, calculated act of cheating, and he got exactly what he wanted out of it.

No place for it in the game.

I was trying to affect a Wigan inflection, obviously didn't work too well. Your second sentence is correct, I see a couple of errors - I'll leave you to work them out.

So if it was the other around, you would rather your team not of cheated and let Leeds score, some how i think not

In the heat of a playoff, I'd probably want my defender to prevent a try, but that doesn't make it right.

There can be no question at all as to whether McGuire cheated or not, so let's not play hypotheticals to try and hide behind it.

So why are Wigan fans moaning about it so much, like you said you would want your player to do the same so whats with all the moaning.

Of course it wasn't right, but if that was against my team i would not be bothered in the slightest if they had done it.

What macguire did was cheating and should of been red and a one game ban imo. I dont blame him one bit, any player would of taken a one game ban to help his side through, cheating or not.
