Wane >>>Koukash both whining gobsh*#*s who stamp their feet to get their own way when they are part of the problems they are whinging about.
The RFL need to grow some stones & sort this pathetic disciplinary system out.
Onto Hicks he was woeful & completely bottled the big decisions the fact he hasn't been held accountable is another example of officials getting protection & imo is avoiding a chance to Coach them to make better calls.

Have you read the summary of the charge on the RFL website....

'Player accompanied by Head Coach Shaun Wane pleads not guilty to charge. Player does not accept that his actions were reckless. Both his feet were on the floor during the tackle. The expression reckless indicates disregard in the tackle. This was almost a perfect tackle. Players are coached to make contact between opponent’s hip and top of leg. There are two other tackling players involved and as a result they turn opponent tackled player also moves one of his legs in lifting motion. Player releases grip immediately. Player spoke to opponent after game. No reaction from Official. This happens in a split second and no intent to injure opponent'

Before the decision on whether McGuire would be banned before the Wigan semi final in 2012.....

"If there's any consistency from the review panel and the disciplinary then Danny won't be playing on Friday because, if anything, what he did was worse than what Micky did," Wane told the Wigan Observer.

"I expect him to be suspended. It's straightforward to me, if Micky got three weeks for what he did... but I'm not holding my breath on that one. I'll be watching it closely"

Nope, pretty busy actually with a big derby coming up with both clubs going for a top 4 finish and the grand final. How's Headingley? Cricket match on I hear?

As usual, Wigan 24 hours behind the rest of the country

Time zones aren't that hard to understand fella. Must be why you all think it takes ages to get across the M56

You're gonna blow it in the grand final again.

Enjoy it!

Exactly

Wonder if Ablett targeting the eyes of an opposition player will go unpunished?

Scott Moore was given a 4 match ban after being accused of the same thing with much less video evidence to back up the charge.

McDermott's post match interview is good viewing

"I'm not speaking as a coach, I'm speaking as a bloke who doesn't want to see those tackles, if Shaun Wane is genuinely saying don't speak about this because we want to get away with it and he wants to continue getting away with it then I'm coming back saying you shouldn't be using those types of techniques"

"I think it's poor form for him to put his players eligibility first before the game and players safety."

"What we're talking about now is whether you can cynically break his knee when he's not watching when someone else has held him up like two bullies holding him up against a wall..... I think it's a pile of crap and I think Shaun Wane trying to defend his player is very poor form"

Spot on!

Well said Mac hope he doesn't get a fine.

Getting ready to be bridesmaids again?

Just watched the interview and hats off to Brian for his comments. The brutish tactics that Wigan players are coached is going to result in a career ending injury or possibly even worse.

Whilst I think Shaun Wane is nothing more than a thug in a suit the blame for this type of stuff has to ultimately sit with the rfl.

A two game initial ban was derisory but to then reduce it sends a dangerous message.

If you want to stop something then give a 4+ game ban and don't bottle it at appeal. Otherwise you are just letting the Wanes of this world get away with it.
