I think part of the issue is McDermott moaning and then a "Rovers style" timely boost that suggests McGuire wasn't as badly hurt as he thought. People may feel that McDermott was OTT unnecessarily, whether that would influence the MRP in any way or not.

He isn't the only one to whinge about challenges (and it was a bad one) but from suspected broken ankle to possibly playing in just over two days brings the boy who cried wolf to mind.

“He could have broken his ankle by the look of it,” McDermott said. “He’s not walking - he can’t even put it on the ground. It’s a bad one." - from the Yorkshire Post.

Yet there's a pic of him outside the ground (to be fair with a boot on and crutches), apparently taken at the same time McDermott was speaking, suggesting that actually McDermott has overreacted. He isn't the first and won't be the last, but as a successful coach of longstanding, I, and I'm sure others, expected better.

so a 3-5 game ban ended up with a 2 game ban? hope somebody injures send when he returns, and Ablett should have just pummelled him after the tackle. clearly this kind of house take is not deemed serious enough by Rfl so players should deal with it in the own way the old fashioned way.

Absolute disgrace. If the RFL can't prove his grade D charge, he should have no case to answer.

Stay classy!

Spoken like a complete moron. Nobody should be wishing injuries upon any player regardless of what they think of them.

2 games is a bit harsh IMO but we'll have to take it on the chin. Unfortunately it is possibly our 2 most important games of teh season he'll miss.

maguire is still an asshole of the highest order (nothing to do with sunday's incident, just my opinion of the cheating, whining tw@)

You were saying?

On the money.

Downgraded from the original Grade D charge. I suppose it makes sense if they believe the lesser offence still warranted a ban.

still Hull fans seem to think you and sneyd have been hard done by and that its all a conspiracy despite getting off lightly for a scumbag tackle. so sounds harsh and i don't actually want send to get a serious injury, but hull fans don't like it when boots on other foot and revealed in the fact that they hoped mcguire was seriously injured.

Who said that ????

Just viewed the tackle bit reckless but no malice. He will get banned but should be the minimum for the offence.

I presume you mean Sneyd, but stay classy whatever

I'll wait for evidence of that...

Appalling English but legible enough to deduce that you are a complete moron.
