Brian McDermott is essentially claiming the judiciary was influenced by Wane and the media, what's worse having an opinion on an illegal on-field play or effectively claiming the governing body is corrupt and influenced by opposition coaches?

If that opinion has no credibilty because it is the opinion of a hypocrit, then both are worthless

It was an illegal stiff arm to the head FFS! Wane wanted consistancy after McIllorum was handed the harshest ban possible for his challenge. If anything McGuire got away lightly with just one match. Wind your neck in McDermott.

You too.....

Sinfield's having a dig now.

The most worrying thing is now Wane has fired him up to make another one of those cringing speeches should they get through and win at Old Trafford. The one where he'll thank everyone for firing them up on route via their criticism and thank their support for 'sticking by them'.

If sticking by them means slating the coach and certain players for 95% of the season and hardly any bothering to turn up for Challenge cup semis and finals I'm backing him all the way!

I quite liked that speech last year and would have probably said something similar myself in that position. They'd been told by practically everyone that they were crap and would win nothing. We were meant to destroy them at Wembley and they were supposed to limp out the playoffs. Good on him I say. The only difference I'd want Wigan to make would be to discredit the playoffs and refuse to celebrate, but that would never happen.

It was fine until he started bigging the Leeds fans up.

They'd been their biggest critics and the ones that had heaped the most pressure on. They proved this by not turning out for the CC final against us and calling for the coaches head constantly(and some players).

Have a go at your detractors all you want but don't spoil it by praising your biggest ones.

True about the fans. Some of them still think the players won the final and not Brian Mac. I quite like McDermott though he adds some comedy to his interviews. Loved his neighbours comment before last years semi.

I reckon it's unlikely to be a clean game, Bailey at loose forward shoes their intentions. I can see someone else sitting out the final.

The problem stems form the stupid way the handbags were treated at MM, with every subsequent decision made in order to justify this.

Knowing the RL they'll sweep it all under the carpet at the start of next season and move on with their next batch of "interpretations".

That's an understatement.

I think we'll win but our lack of discipline when facing a side who push the envelope in the way Leeds do may mean we have half the side up before the tribunal next week....

Pathetic

Yes your turn out will be pathetic tomorrow.
Thats because justice will be served, and thats the only justice that matters

rlLet's hope the players do the talkingrl

I will be going that's all I can worry about
