I think that's the thing RhinoNeil, they are going beserk already and they don't even know the outcome of the enquiry. Imagine what they will be like if he get's off.

FWIW I think he'll get banned, one match, no more, but the Wigan fans desperation to get him banned to me shows how worried they are about Friday, I mean, how bad would the Mighty Wigan look if they got beat by inferior, small time, little old Leeds ???

Is this RL we are talking about! You'll always get late and high tackles. The real issue I'd not that the tackle was late or high it is what can we do to overcome Wigan without the speed and inventiveness of Danny. The young lads are going to have to play out of there skin but we can beat Wigan.

Thing that will probably see McGuire banned for this challenge was the earlier in season 1 game ban for his challenge on Kearney in Bulls game. Probably will be classed as another 'sloppy' tackle.

The league papers letters page is full of whinging goons. Crying over poor mickey mac getting banned while nasty leeds run the RFL. They must be really scared about playing us. Or are simply small minded, insular, f#ckwits. Or both

I will now prepare to be called blinkered. I will probably also be called "bias" since nobody can speak English anymore.

Here goes:

I really can't see what was so horrific in the tackle. Forearm caught the head of a player on his way down. It happens all the time, and I can't recall that many bans being handed out. Total non issue. Penalty sufficient. Haven't seen the McIlorum incident, so no comment to make, other than if it was the same as McGuire's he was very unfortunate to get any ban, let alone 3 matches.

Oh, and there is no way in this world I would have banned Paul Wood for that little love tap in the Cup final either. Not netball is it?

I hope he gets off for nothing more than this and the Wigan forum will be very funny if he does.

With the way Wane and tomkins have been going on and cleverly influencing the RFL decision cannot see anything other than a ban.
It is not a comparable incident to the mclorum tackle. It was accidental contact with the head not pre meditated hitting a player high who doesn't have the ball.

1 match ban for me

Erm, just watched it. Exactly the same.

If by "exactly the same" you actually mean "totally different."

I hope he gets a £300 fine and no ban due to previous good behaviour and then goes on to deny Wigan a last minute winning try by obstructing a Wigan player.

What? Are you really so keen to see poor Danny punished by the Rugby Gods? Don't you remember what happened last time he tugged a Wigan player's sacred shirt? Do you think the Gods will be so lenient next time?

You're a bad, bad man.

I laugh in the face of the Rugby Gods. If Danny is to be sacrificed then so be it. Another will take his place.

You mean still give a penalty away, still enabling Wigan to win with a penalty goal that's 30metres nearer to the posts than it should be, only for Pat to miss?
