Must have been a miracle recovery at Wembley then.

At least the stretcher got to make a brief appearance after the boy cried wolf!

Speaking of pitiful suggestions, one of your heroes has now jumped on the ted McClennan bandwagon and let himself down badly rlhererl

You still think Mcguire called for the stretcher at Wembley?

You still think McGuire was feigning injury at Wigan?


Peacock's comments seem perfectly reasoned and well constructed and, unlike yours, probably reflect the truth of the matter.

Yep, and I also believe he chelped for a stretcher at Wembley after feigning injury and crying wolf.



The moral of the boy cries wolf? Even when liars tell the truth, they are never believed. The liar will lie once, twice, and then perish when they finally tell the truth.



McGuire cheated by pulling a player back and in the process sustained a serious injury. Given McGuire's previous propensity for feigning injury and making miraculously rapid recoveries, I'm not surprised in the least that a couple of Wigan players didn't believe him either and berated him instead for cheating.

It's disappointing to learn that Peacock has now joined the ted ranks of making crass, insensitive and inflammatory statements, though to his credit at least he hasn't repeated his coach's [i"Danny has done knee ligament damage to his knee after he we was fouled off the ball"[/i allegations.

Why are you disappointed by Peacock's comments? He's saying that two Wigan players stood over an injured player calling him a cheat whilst he was hurt. Is that the kind of behaviour you want to see from anyone? I'm amazed.

Its a load of b*lls to suggest they would have taken into account McGuire's past 'record' of supposedly feigning injury. They were very annoyed at losing a game they supposedly couldn't and had an easy prone target to yell at. If they were so convinced he was faking it, they could have done what that guy did in the NRL a few years ago, and lifted him up. Funnily enough they didn't, suggesting that they could see he was hurt but were more interested in yelling at him.

BTW have you got a list of examples of McGuire's 'propensity' to fake injury? TBH this is the first I've heard of it.

They didn't know he was badly hurt, and he did cheat. Had roles been reversed and Sam Tomkins had obstructed a Leeds player off the ball, I'm fairly sure your players would have something to say about it.

Bollox he was in agony and despite the sh#te that the "re-incarnated AP" Bell End popcorn has typed you could see he was clearly injured.

I can't see past a Wigan win to be honest, we were always going to struggle without Peacock but now without McGuire as well, who in the first match:

Put Hall in for a try
Put Donald in for a try
Scored a try
Made a try saving tackle on Richards

Just a bridge to far for me and as Era said it has Echo's of '04 when we lost to Bradford at home.

It's been a fun year mind, I've quite enjoyed it.

Firstly, in the YP article it is Dave Craven who makes the suggestion that Danny was injured prior to grabbing Carmont not Peacock. Interesting to see a Journo formally express his opinion on the matter.

Secondly, this makes things a little clearer to me in respect of Bluey's comments in his Sky interview directly following the match. I always suggested that Bluey had maybe not fully understood what he had been told in the brief minutes he had before heading back out on to the pitch for the interview. It would be my supposition that some of the player had been upset with Riddell & others for indeed giving Danny some crap while he was injured on the deck and this is where the confusion was about what happened after the event.

In true Smokey TA fashion, I have the evidence of my own eyes and attending many games involving McGuire over the years, whilst you're some distance away in Australia. I'm aware of his propensity for hitting the deck writhing in alleged agony as if he's been shot prior to making a miraculous recovery, getting up and playing on.

He's no Rob Burrow.

Correct - and they'd all be twittering away relentlessly at the cheating injustice of it all afterwards too. Perhaps they ought to quit being twits by spending more time away from Twitter and focusing on the job at hand instead?

My overall view is that 2010 is a season too far and the pressure of being champions 3 years on the bounce has become too much to bear. This has instilled a grumbling and griping siege mentality of woe-me proportions which even Morrissey would be proud of. They've been champions this year but they haven't been good champions. They no longer wear the SL crown with distinction. I've never known a club, it's coach and it's players whinge, whine and moan as much as this lot have done throughout a season.

There's been grumbling all year long about injuries where in previous years the club has been blessed... injury crises have been hopefully wished on other teams... they've responded to their own cheating with tales of injustice, off-the-ball thuggery, cowardice and unsportsmanlike behaviour from other teams, and they've niggled and chicken-winged their way to scraping into the Top 4. They aren't going to go down this season without a further misplaced chelpalthon either. They need putting out of their collective misery ASAP so that the heart and soul of the may be cleansed. It's long overdue.

In '04 we had not won the championship for a long time, finished top of the league and lost the 1st play off game at home same as Wigan this year.

That's just my opinion Gotcha and I respect yours and will not be calling you Crazy, looney or a knob for not agreeing with me

I've enjoyed this season mainly because I enjoy RL and unlike the last few years were Leeds & Saints would win almost every week it's been good not knowing how most of the weekends games would turn out, given a semi win over Saints in the cup, a trip to wembley and the win at Wigan, I've enjoyed it a lot thanks very much.

I know some on here are blinkered, blind and parochial ([iany[/i club will always need them to help adequately finance them)....but you seem very much the opposite. Do you actually 'support' the club or its team members in any way ?

Incidentally it's "its coach and its players" ...(no apostrophe in these cases). Just a friendly correction between fellow 'supporters'.

I can't remember Leeds players being sympathetic with Sam Tomkins after Ablett "illegally" lead with the elbow at your place not so long back. They all wanted to carry on fighting. Short memories indeed. How are you going to swing that one round in the defence of the Rhinos?
