Clarke was clearly wrong to say what he said, Peacock has made clear what McClennan was complaining about with regards to Mcguire. McClennan should have been a bit more circumspect in his words but i can forgive anyone's outburst seconds after a close match and such a controversial incident.

Clarke however has no excuse for such a tasteless and classless remark in a written article days after the event.

This thread will go two ways - one justifying Clarke by all the Wigan fans still bitter at the JJB loss and vilifying him by all the Leeds fans upset about the aftermath following Danny Turnstilles injury.

I was surprised by Clarke's comments in a day and age where bland reflections are the norm. Was actually refreshing to read an open and frank opinion. Whether it is accurate of course is a wholly different matter (see above)...

I would say Wigan as a club, it's fans, staff and cronies like Clarke reacted to the defeat in a very poor way. They have no grace and no class as a club and their fans should be ashamed of themselves for the bile they spouted after the game. Anyone associated with Wigan has a cheek to be complaining of cheating and rugby gods after Wigan's deliberate salary cap rorting to avoid relegation a few years back.

It all makes Saturday's game very interesting. Whoever wins is going to have several chunks torn out of them. The RFL need to pick a very, very strong referee for this one as it could get out of hand very, very quickly.

Spot on there. Wonder if Ben Thaler will get the gig on Saturday

In the same way that McCleannan had no Grace in his aftermatch interview?

Wigan "Cheated" the salary cap, in the same way that Saints did in there grand final winning year?

You do realise that in his post match remarks, McLennan was referring to the antics of Riddell and TLeuluai. Yes he got his words the wrong way round but reiterated something happened after McGuire had gone down injured.

Ohhh he got his words the wrong way round? ohh thats ok then

Are you suggesting the return of Showbiz Steve?

Another cryptic comment, but what I said about Peacock is so self-explanatory that I don't need to respond to your baffling question.


Which video evidence would that be? Unless you have a feed to some pictures other than those transmitted?


Sorry but they are your words. I obviously already read the whole sentence. Are you in your laboured way trying to say you meant something other than the obvious meaning of the admittedly rather tortuous sentence you typed?


I shouldn't bother with the personal stuff. Suffice to say no smartassing on my part - I was just trying to have a discussion.

it seems you are baffled by quite simple things
the pictures broadcast showed Wigan players surrounding Mcguire.


well then you should clearly understand, who the other person was, what they were doing and why they were doing it Ill give you a clue, the person was you.

of course you were, in further news Im the new King of Spain

I'm thinking more along the lines of a guest referee. Hulk Hogan or Barrack Obama or Russell Crowe. Someone the players will listen to.

if they send in a fool like Smith or Thaler there will be carnage.

I asked you to pack this stuff in. You continue to be personal and "smartass". Not me.


Look, we all watched, you don't need a commentary. What they did not show is any delaying of treatment, and that's the point you're avoiding.




Like GB Lion, I must have missed the article where McLennan apologised to the entire Wigan squad for accusing one of them of causing the injury as his precious Daniel lay prostrate on the ground, instead of what actually happened.

Awaits some blind stupid Leeds fans to explain he was only steadying himself on Carmont because his knee had gone.
