 Shaun Wane is expecting Rhinos playmaker Danny McGuire to receive a suspension when he appears before the disciplinary committee later this afternoon.
Never one afraid of trying to influence the disciplinary committee, his comments follow Brian McDermott expressing his hopes that 'common sense prevails'. Both would be guilty of sub-judice should McGuire be on trial rather than hoping for a semi-final place when the teams meet this friday night.

There was a lot to be said for Michael McGuire's media black-outs in the run up to big games.

Maguire was a pretty boring interviewee generally and it's something Wane need to learn as far as I'm concerned. If only for the fact it used to wind-up lazy RL journos looking for an easy story.
Maguire's quiet dignity over Wane's rent-a-gob quotes any day. Lets do our talking on the pitch. |

Hear Hear..
I'll openly admit i'm not Shaun Wanes biggest fan, there no questioning what he has done this season with the team,but i wish he would not come out with comments like this, yes Macguire's swinging arm does deserve a ban and most non leeds fans would probably agree but why does Wane feel the need to risk being slapped with a fine himself for what can only be described as uneccessary comments...what will be will be and yes i would be angry if Macguire doesn't get a ban , but who am i , just a fan ,not the 'spokesperson ' for the biggest club in the country if not the world.
Bring back media blackouts |

Sorry but I could not disagree more.
I like to hear Shaun Wane's honest views about any situation.
He calls a spade a spade, and a cheat a cheat.
Keepnig quiet about injuries and dproblems is one thing, but spice up the chatter as far as I am concerned.

Wane needs to learn to keep his gob shut over matters that don't involve Wigan. It is unprofessional and only serves to wind up opposition players and fans.

Wane try's to wind up his players with these comments to motivate them to win games but sadly they can go either way. In the recent league meeting with Wire all his talk of us wanting to smash them only worked to fire the Wire pack in to a frenzy.
It's a very risky business and it's a business I'm not sure he's clever enough to be in. He should keep this all 'in house' IMO.

Wane might come across to outsiders as a blundering ape but he is simply adopting the Alex Ferguson approach of constantly being victimised in the ruling body & referees subconscious. Getting his palyers to tweet, or whatever social media young people use, merely reinforces that.

I disagree. I'm as close as possible to being certain that Wane's comments had absolutely no influence on the result against Wire. They'd have smashed our pack regardless! It's not like they were hanging on Wane's words for motivation, they won't have given a damn. They are professionals after all. If a coach having confidence in his players is enough to fire them up then they'd have to be an awfully sensitive bunch.
What happens in the press matters little. Maguire never used to say much and was subsequently boring. It didn't really matter. Wane speaks his mind and seems to like his media duties and likes to give a good quote, it can be entertaining or cringe worthy but it also doesn't really matter. |

I'm pleased that Wane has stated publicly that he expects McGuire to get a ban because this will balance Macdermot's statement saying that he shouldn't get a ban. Barry McDermot on Sky also said that it was a nothing tackle. I thought it was very brutal and I was surprised that someone like Mcguire would attack the head like that. Saying that the play was falling was ridiculous because he had been falling for a couple of metres, it wasn't a sudden slip.

Brian McClennan used to do this with Leeds. Because RL and football are different games, the main result of adopting the Ferguson approach was the loss of possession and territory due to an increase in penalties for dissent. If Wane's teams want to argue with the referee rather than stand in the defensive line then that's just fine. |

I agree. It's not like McGuire didn't know where the players head was. He just saw an opportunity to put in a bit of a cheap shot, did it and got caught out. It's naive to think he just got an ordinary tackle wrong. He swung his arm and had every opportunity not to smack the player in the head. It's not the worst attempt in the world, but if the disciplinary are consistent he'll be looking at 2 matches given that he's already been suspended once this year. Leeds fans may think he's whiter than white but if you swing an arm directly at someone's head you deserve a ban. |

I'm not talking about on the pitch, though that is an issue, it's the constant reinforcement of the perception of victimisation in the background. |
