you mean when play was only stopped as wigan players and fans alike hurled abuse at a writhing in agony mcguire.

Last night McGuire was right, shenton had not suffered a head injury as he feigned to at first and that was his problem with the blown whistle. Once the referee realised Shenton had only injured his arm he rightfully continued play. No head injury, and not obstructing play then no stoppage. case closed.

I thought the Wigan players assaulted him on the ground? At least, that's what was alleged by some at Leeds? Didn't Tommy stamp on him or call him names or something?

McGuire got abuse because he tripped Carmont in a cynical professional foul. I was there and gave him grief and and I had no idea he was injured. The Rugby Gods' work was done.


That's irrelevant. Any player should appreciate when another player has received a serious injury and requires treatment. Shenton was too close to the PTB and was in clear trouble.

And...hang on...you're saying Shenton faked a head injury? Are you fcking stupid? The lad has just dislocated his elbow and he's faking a head injury? I can only deduce you're an idiot of the highest order; the offspring of several generations of enthusiastic in-breeding combined with your mother dropping you on your head (perhaps deliberately), though that might only explain your looks. That is truly just about the most moronic thing I've ever heard someone say on RLFans. Congratulations.

Did you comment similarly on Roger Meli's attempted tackle on Ryan Hall off the ball just prior to Hall's try?

I was at the game so didn't see it live but noticed it on the BBC highlights yesterday. It's was very poor from McGuire especially considering he's been a victim of a very bad injury himself.

Leeds defence sailed very close to the wind on plenty of occasions. I noticed at the game the Saints players seemed to complain a lot about Leeds players interfering around the ruck and watching it back 2 players inparticular were lucky not to be penalised on a good few occasions. Those 2 were Webb and McGuire who were constantly lying on and messing about with their hands in Saints players faces.

Nah but FGB looked at the Ref and pointed to his head to indicate a head injury.

Always Sinfield down as a very classy individual, shown himself to be a bit if a small time mard a'rse with his rant. Considering most of his doubters were from "the best fans in the world".

Bitter bitter boy

Bitter? 3 trophies in 2 years for us old boy and you still have NEVER beaten us in a major final. Carry on...........

I dont understand the criticism of Sinfield by people, I am an ardent wigan fan but can appreciate the many talents of a player from another club. Sinfield throughout his long and dedicated service to the Leeds club has always been a complete R. L. player and this years G.F. was no exception, his speech at the end I thought was just right. He has even made the editorial column of the Guardian in praise of him, I have read the Guardian for more than half a century and that has never happen before so he must be doing something right. Let's give credit where credit is due, now Ryan Bailey he is a complete idiot and thug

The poster is claiming Shenton had 'feigned' a head injury.

Maybe he's concussed. Blow to the elbow perhaps.


Nope, 'cos I didn't notice it and I've deleted the final now.

3 trophies in 2 years? Ah! So that makes the LLS a bone tide trophy now does it? If that is the case please start a thread on the Wire board proclaiming as much please. Let's see if you've got the balls!

My thoughts exactly, he's been carrying on like it doesn't exist on the wigan board now all of a sudden it's a full bonafide trophy you know. Embarassing wiganer comment alert.

I'm sick to death of virtually every thread over the last 24 hours being derailed in the manner this has over the last page.

If people don't grow up and sort it out, I will. There are plenty of warnings so even the biggest moron doesn't have an excuse.

Wigan Wire measuring contests are a thing of the past it seems.........

Its getting boring now this.

I've only listend back to it once but, I'm sure McGuire was telling Bentham to stop the game as Shenton appeared to have a serious injury, don't think he was moaning about it being stopped, but the opposite.

If anyone has watched the replay then it looks like a shocking injury. Broken Arm/Dislocated Elbow, anyone could have seen that the way he went down.

Why McGuire wasn't watching the replay is beyond me.

You appear to have forgotten some of Wigans players reactions to McGuire's injury last year, regardless of the situtation. What you will also find is that Danny was trying to stop play to help Shenton, not having a "hissy fit" as you appear to recall.

I don't believe you really think a tongue in cheek dig at the media is worse than swearing at supporters.

Jon Wilkin in his usual GF loss rant/sulk actually praised the attitude of Danny McGuire. This certainly disproves the hysterical viewpoint of a minority of Wigan fans.

Make your mind up

I agree he should have just give the Vs to the press and kept his mouth shut instead of saying this one's for the doubters.

No sheep need tending?

What?
