A voice of sanity breaks out of the asylum. Some of the threads on here this week have made the Wigan board look like a Mensa meeting.

Bat looney just about desribes the above statement. No doubt just to try and look big as usual.

But in reality, what people put on a message by any sane mind can not be compared to what someone puts through the media, in a much read broadcasting column.

If Leeds Rugby League had anything about them, they would make a statement on the comments Clarke made and make clear their dissapointment.

Phil Clarke -Wigan fan spouting sour grapes and disappointment much like a shedload of the rest of them.

And the above is why tonight Matthew............I will be hoping Hull KR send them packing

It would appear it's been read by a couple of the players too. Clearly displeased by his comments too.

Clarke has responsibilities to the game that few of the freaks (me included) who post on these boards will share.

To imply that McGuire deserved to get injured because he committed a professional foul is quite incredible for someone in his position.

Indeed - Diskin's disappointed.

I think he owe's an explanation of his comments to the club/player he has slighted?

I'm pretty sure the incumbent England RL coach has referred to the 'footballing gods' in his time as Bulls coach.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I don't recall you demanding that Bluey explain his comments about hoping teams suffer injuries?

I can't say I am aware of the situation? Enlighten me?

As for Clarke I dont think neutrals could defend it as anything other than unproffessional?

If so, then a few posters are complete sanctimonious hypocrites.

I cant believe people are still bringing this up, i thought it was clear, though poorly worded, that Blueys wish was that the other teams would suffer from the injuries, not that players would be injured.

I.e other teams drop points because of players inevitably missing games like we had.

thats exactly what he meant and only those interested in creating mischief would suggest otherwise

in the hundreds of hours of media he completes each year this was one tiny example of how he could have chosen his words slightly better, but he clearly meant leeds were going through a bad injury spell at that time, but other teams would as well and through the season it would all balance out

in fact, from memory, remove the word hopefully from what he said and theres nothing to make mischief about

i might just have made that last bit up though!

Phil still hasn't forgiven us for winning three titles on the skid against his 'greatest team in the whole world eva!'
