He responded pretty late then, and after the red had told him to walk away.

The incidents just aren't comparable.

I just don't agree that the response of the victim (Ablett/Cudjoe) should be as important as it seems to be at the moment. No retaliation gives a red to the aggressor, retaliation varies from winning yourself a penalty to yellows each way.

Neither of McGuire or Wardle had any justification for throwing the punches.

Fair enough if he also took a knee to the head.

But to get up, square up to the opponent, be told by the ref to walk away and THEN throw punches while your opponent does nothing was completely different to what happened with McGuire.

You say say McGuire should have got a yellow and Wardle a red. What about Cudjoe? He beat the crap out of McGuire.

Possibly a yellow, but he was actually being attacked unlike McGuire and Wardle. He had a decent reason to defend himself.

Old news now, hopefully McGuire's punches are picked up properly in the match review, not much more to it really.

A fair bit of anti-McGuire bias on this thread, mainly from Wigan fans. Why not look at the positives of an excellent game with a decent crowd and atmosphere? some RL fans can't see beyond the end of their nose.

McGuire is scum and showed him self to be just that today, his performance playing rugby too was embarrassing.

Not quite as embarrassing as Tomkins' performance in last year's CC semi

having a pop at Wigan fans, can't you see past the end of your nose...

Wardle looked a straight red... Seems that as a Wigan fan i can't comment on Maguire, but he has seemed a little y in the last couple of games i have watched.

Not getting into the arguaments on here, simply wanted to say what a cracking game of RL!

Certainly Robinson and Brough bossed the middle of the park.
Well done Hudds (cough, cough) fully deserved your win.
Maguire was equally as guilty as Wardle, just because he cant throw a decent punch, shouldn't excuse the crime.

Will this match be available on IPlayer? Missed it and haven't recorded but sounded like a good game.

As a Giants fan Wardle deserved a red, also in his defence he didn't bloody miss did he

McGuire is a dirty who can accept he has never been as good as he though and now he has lost his pace his career is on the way over

What a cracking game that was! Was fully expecting this board to be full of praise for both teams but I should have known by now it'd be full of moaning.
