Quote: FireWire "I wouldn't say they ran us close at all, it was quite a one sided encounter. Ward will be a great player, but I don't think he's a half and was anonymous at Wembley. If McGuire had played it might have been a lot closer.
Wigan might be unhappy on the surface that he didn't get a 3 match ban similar to McIlorum's, but they also know that if lose on Friday then a returning Danny McGuire would significantly improve Leeds' chances of beating one of their two main rivals in the final.'"
I don't know, I reckon the panic might have set in if that try at the start of the 2nd half had been given - it certainly put the Leeds players' heads down, anyway. It definitely would have been closer if he'd played though, yes.
