Ronaldo.

When watching the game I thought Cooke had tripped him in the play that ended up in Fox being sin-binned. But watching again on Sky, McGuire throws himself on the floor. So Cooke can have the week off next week once Stuart Cummings decides he tripped him.

hes a good player but not one of the best in the world like ronaldo.

It's idiots like McGuire who are turning our game into farce. Diving should stick to football. And then he gets MOTM to boost his ego even more. Briscoe should have got MOTM - even though we lost. Brilliant returns, brilliant try saving tackle, and brilliant tackle on Ablett (although he got injured, Briscoe was committed to the tackle, and couldnt really stop, could he?)

I know you're a black and white, and I'll let you off because of the time, but I think you're missing the point.

did anyone touch mcguire?

Should be Gerrard.

agree, hes a total clown, good player, but no way did he deserve the MOM, Briscoe should have definetely got it!

a persons opinion of Danny Mcguire is usually a good indication of their RL knowledge

for some reason, the less knowledgable have a blind spot when it comes to Danny Mcguire and cant see what he offers

he ran the show for leeds last night, and was the difference between leeds winning and losing, everything good we did came through him and he was clearly the best half on the field, and thats playing in his secondary position

Just a thought so dont all go spitting the dummy out but when Cooke got near McGuire is it not possible running a that speed and trying the switch running directions that on a wet pitch McGuire just slipped and fell over???

Tbh he could have just slipped but I won't make comment until tomorrow when I've seen the match again. Leeds do employ a few dodgey tactics such as jumping to contest a kick but been miles away from the ball to distract to catcher etc. Theres no rules against any of what Leeds and McGuire in particular do. Doesn't always make it pretty to watch and no doubt irritates opposition fans but it works and until they make a law against it they should carry on.

Totally agree with you apart from it was Bailey that Briscoe tackled, not Ablett.

How the heck can anyone mistake Bailey and Ablett??

Thats a laugh...no attempt at a tackle it was a blatant shoulder charge on the blind side of Bailey

Nowt wrong with it.

Yeah if you say so

There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. (and im an FC fan)

Im just surprised that a hit in the back knocked him out.

What has being a FC fan got to do with it? Forget who you support it is irrelevant...no attmpt at a TACKLE was made. It was a shoulder charge into somebody who was making a try making pass. Very poor technique in my opinion.

The FC reference was me stating my objectivity to you and not being a blinkered rovers fan. Poor technique or not it was a fair hit. He was committed to hitting Bailey as he offloaded. Its unfortunate that Bailey twisted as he offloaded and Briscoe couldnt really pull out of it.

Looked an acceptable challenge to me and I would be highly surprised if it went any further!

It was the fact that Briscoe's forehead smashed in to Bailey's right temple that knocked him out, but it was a perfectly ligitimate challenge as the headbutt was not intentional.

As for the start of this thread, it was probably the awful state of the pitch that caused Mcguire to fall

Ablett should be up at the disciplinary it was a swinging arm that didn't miss webster's nose.

It was played at Craven Park not Headingley

What awfull state of the pitch? (damp from the light rain made it slippy) you will not find a better pitch in Super league Headingly would snap our hands off for it.

at the game i thought hed tripped him but skys coverage didnt really show it i thought

i thought this post was gonna be Danny Maguires the new Shaun Edwards lol, the most hated man in rugby.

the pitch looked very good to me too, you must have been in the South stand about 5 miles away, your veiw must have been a bit poor mate.

Mate i'd love to see your view if it was the other way round. Nothing wrong with the tackle, Bailey didn't get up because he was embarassed that he got put on his back! Opposition players take digs all night from Bailey.... Swings and roundabouts!!
