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?

Danny to get off with a no case to answer, first contact shoulder
then knocking out Tomkins on Wigans first set of 6 with a blatant high shot missed by all the refs and touch judges
Ripping the ball over the line in a two on one ball steal and scoring from it to even up the game with two mins to go. From the kick off he scoot from Dummy half on the 2nd and gets you to the half way line, a shocking pass on the 4th that takes you back just behind the half way line and he then on the 5th drops a Joe Lydonesque dropgoal to win the match.

Ha ha, quality!

I would absolutely love it (Kevin Keegan style) if that happened. Would equally love it if both blue & yellows put both red & whites to sleep. See you at Old Trafford!

Think you've a better chance than us though

I love the way on these forums (and i mean ALL of them not just this one) that if one of your own commits a foul it's 'accidental', 'poorly timed', 'not in his character' etc but as soon as an opponent does the same it's a 'pre-meditated assault'.

McClorrum deserved his 3 matches, it probably would have been 4 had he not been sent off in the first half. Maguire wasn't late like McClorrum's and Anderson was going down which has to be taken into account. However it was a dangerous swinging arm which made full contact with the head, deliberate or not (and only Maguire can tell you whetehr it was) Maguire has to take responsibilty for it. He will probably get 1 match which is about right although 2 wouldn't suprise me as he does has previous this season.

Spot on, are you a real Wigan fan?
