Well if it was intentional he just took one for the team. No big deal. However I would say if he's going to impede a support player he'd be safer trying just to pull the bloke back or tackle him rather than try and make it look accidental by getting his legs tangled up with theirs - you can get a bad injury that way.

???



Sour grapes? I'm no lover of Wigan, if it was Carmont who'd done the same to McGuire i'd have said the same thing.



I can't stand cheats, is that such a bad thing?

Does the tigress know about your man-crush?

If you had any sense you'd keep a low profile for a while. Wishing injury on Carmont had roles been reversed does you no more credit.



Having read your posts on here and the VT it is clear that you always take the anti-Leeds interpretation or opinion on most matters. Don't try to claim that you are somehow impartial. Evidently you enjoy watching Leeds lose as much if not more than seeing the Bulls win.

No, but your resulting tirade against McGuire and hoping for his injury to be serious, is. Appalling human response for what is already an incredibly tough sport.

It's allowable - she's after Keighley Strange.

Spot on. I'd stop digging now if I were you Ewwen, you're deep enough.

Stop making it personal, it doesn't help. And you should also look up what "magnanimous" means, if you want to use big words.



And I am sure the vast majority of players wouldn't do what McGuire did. That is why it is so rare to see someone doing what McGuire did.

As I said, I would rather the Yorkshire team had won, but as it happens I also believe it is a disadvantage to have the week off which Leeds now get.

I'm not. If the player realised at that point that they have a choice. 1) Lose the match from a certain try. 2) Commit a foul that will give away a penalty in an area of the field they can't kick from and at the most receive a yellow card.



I'd be surprised if less than 95% of players would choose option 2.



The only thing is, quite a few players probably wouldn't realise until too late that these are the 2 options. That'd be the only reason they wouldn't do it IMO.

You forgot option 3: Keep up with Carmont and tackle him when he receives the ball from Richards.

McGuire is faster than Carmont by some distance, so could quite easily have taken this option.

No I didn't. I was simply pointing out that faced with only 2 options, most players would choose the foul play one. We may not like that, but that's how it is. Yeah there are other options, but those are the two most obvious ones. If you have the opportunity to stop a scoring play that will change the result of the game, you do it.



It's exactly the same as the earlier analogy about the footballer handballing on the line.
