Hetherington said “Reckless implies it was deliberate and it’s not"

Absolute nonsense. A tackle can be wreckless regardless of your intention.

In fairness to Gary, it was partly the catalan players fault, after all if he didnt have a head it would have been a perfectly legitimate swinging arm with a flat hand at the ball!

as opposed to coming in second man in a tackle with a swinging arm aimed at the head...........

What a silly comment from Hetherington. Being reckless means you know there is a risk of hitting the head but you carry on regardless. The fact that he doesn't appear to know the difference between that state of mind and a deliberate action says it all really.

Hilarious stuff

Me too !

That's us into the Grand Final then!



How Leeds can even defend what McGuire did is a joke. We are going to take it to Leeds now and I fear for them. Only thing playing into their hands at the moment is the weather.

If all the conspiracies are correct about us not getting a fair crack from the disciplinary panel especially ensuring that MM was not able to play 3 games as well as almost a full game against Saints then the panel have screwed themselves. They had to ban him for Fridays game they had no choice as Wane actually did the right thing and started saying things publicly as otherwise he would have just had a fine. Way too often in SL coaches say nothing and let teams get away with it. The NRL they are more vocal about each others sides.

How can the panel only give McGuire 1 match for an offence on the 1-2 game category but MM is having technically a 4 game ban. I bet someone on that panel at this moment in time is regretting not giving MM less so they could free up McGuire to play on Friday.

So Wane was able to influence the panel this week, but wasn't able to influence the panel when it was McIlorum?

Funny how some people have nothing to say if it’s Wigan getting the mucky end of the stick. I can’t wait to get home on Friday after the game to hear what’s said then, it could end up being just as exciting as the game itself. Hope it’s a good clean game though; I’m fed up to the back teeth with all these cards and bans.

McDermott seems to miss the fact he'd had his say as well in the build up to the decision.

If he wants to compare it to a legal trial then maybe he should have kept quiet as well. It'd be like a witness to a murder saying in the build up to the trial 'yeah I saw him stab her in the head with those scissors but honestly he was just trying to cut her hair and slipped, he's a good lad really'.

He can't have it both ways.
