Agreed it was bad.. it wasn't the same. McIlloram was late and high, that was a swinging arm in a tackle

Gotta say i agree that i dont think mcguire deliberatly tried to hurt him,it was a poor challenge no doubt but looked nasty on replays but i think it was just mistimed,he looked to be trying to put a stiff arm into his shoulder but got it wrong, mcilorum's however was a cheap,high,late shot and deserved a 3 match ban, absolutely no way were both incidents thr same

Been working a late shift, so just watched the game on Sky+. Not a fan of either side but after watching an entertaining game ( calls going against both sides throughout ), I feel cheated by the ref in the last few minutes by him not pulling up Peacock, when Leeds were really under the cosh. It really bugs me that the officials can't get a grip of the defence having 'both feet ' behind the line when they are defending the goal line. They just seem to ignore it . Why?? Peacock was just about alongside the play the ball, not even one foot behind the line. If a few teams got penalised 'early doors', surely they'd get the message. Are the refs not really bothered about enforcing this law?

Both sides had some poor decisions go against them and Mr Thaler bottled a couple of big calls, particularly the Maguire incident, which was a straightforward attack to the head. Great game though and on balance, Leeds deserved the win.

I note that it's not just Wigan club officials who show no respect for the referee by the way - their golden boy was on Twitter during the game calling for Maguire to be banned and rubbishing the judiciary; it's poor form - they should receive a stiff warning from the RFL to their future conduct.

I noticed that too and would hope the RFL will be taking action. Sadly he'll only get a warning simply because he's Sam Tomkins, the irony of which will be lost on the scrote.

Likewise I hope Trent Robinson will be giving the RFL a leaving present of a few quid. His comments in the interview with Brian Carney were laughable given the penalty count.

Remind me what action the RFL took on Greenshields this year?

Just a little fine wasn't it? Pocket money to Tomkins anyway.
