Isn't that the one where McGuire injured himself when trying to cheat ?

To be honest, the reaction to that incident from Leeds was even worse - and that was from Leeds officials, not just fans.

To try to cast McGuire as the victim in that incident was ludicrous. Both the Leeds captain and coach tried to imply that Wigan were somehow at fault, which was nothing more than a transparent attempt to cover that McGuire had actually been up to - cheating his team's way into the next round, and injuring himself in the process.

All through that buiness, the Wigan club maintained a very dignified silence.

Welcome to yesterday.

still on our forum then

I'm no Bailey fan but there was nothing wrong with that on half time. Haven't Wigan fans been moaning all year about their right to complete a tackle?

I did, however, enjoy Webb dropping the ball in a little PTB paddy, then getting cut in half by TL

I enjoyed the faces of the Leeds players receiving their losers medals

i'm very happy you got your apology, must have been heartbreaking what Sam did

to be fair what Sam did was wrong and the club and player are right to issur an apology I would now expect at the most a fine from the RFL and lots of stick for Sam when he goes back to Leeds (no change there)

case closed

move on

He joins a long list of other players who've finally cracked under the stress of a big match and constant, abusive barracking from certainly sections of the crowd (though not too many who've experienced it from their own fans during an international, I must admit - I don't think Leeds fans should be totally surprised that they were singled out).

However he was stupid, and it was the right thing for the club and the player to issue an apology.
