I think the finger should point to Wane as far as hypocrisy goes, maybe he doesn't know the meaning of it and perhaps he thinks its some sort of pelvic bone disease. As far as gouging is concerned I should imagine Ablett is very poor standard in comparison to Gareth Hock.
McDermott's comments were very neutral and balanced in the context of the sport, his opinion on Krap Wane was a surprise but probably quite valid over the last 4 weeks, Wane needs to wind his neck in, but that might be difficult because I don't think he's got one.

Scraping the barrel a bit with a reference to a player who hasn't played for us for 4 years. That said I bet you screamed blue murder when it happened but can't find it in you to condemn Ablett.

Its like 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish with Wigan they always provide controversy. Gareth Hock was a double eye gouge, I don't know why you.ve put a time scale on it, stuff like that doesn't go away to be forgotten. I assume the Ben Flower incident disappears in year 2020 in the Wigoon mindset.

You're deflecting, the eye gouge is of no relevance in comparison to a type of potentially dangerous tackle that is now an epidemic in the game. Have you actually watched the interview? Because you seem to have missed the point of what Mcdermott is saying.

"The eye gouge is of no relevance." There you have it. Please, continue to pretend you're concerned about foul play and player welfare...

They spent last year saying, get over the Ben flower incident, it was the year before lets move on, stop bringing it up.

Yet are quite happy to keep bringing up Ben Westwood and Blake green.

And with regards to hock, he may have left four years ago, but wigan spent about ten years making excuses for him being a naughty person until it bit them on the booty

Everyone keeps rattling on about an eye gouge, well I can't see it myself nothing more than pushing and shoving and hand in face, hull kr player uses head and elbow, but nobody interested in that just want to try and create some controversy, and when the Rfl say no case to answer with ablett there will be faux outrage and Rfl are a joke Leeds run Rfl comments.

Rugby league is a tough game and things sometimes boil over, if you don't like it sod off and watch soccer

I'm not saying the act itself is of no relevance, It's of no relevance in this discussion.

Mcdermott is trying to make a point that the game needs to eradicate those type of tackles because they have a disproportionate potential to injure. He's repeatedly said it's not about wigan but the governing bodies attitude towards that tackle.

So wane get's upset and thinks for some reason leeds are trying to get a player banned and when questioned on wanes comments mcdermott stands by his comments that the tackle should be stopped.

After all that you keep rabbiting on about an alleged eye gouge in a completely different incident. It's a defence Mechanism because you are taking it as an attack on wane and wigan so are then pointing the finger at a player in Mcdermott's team and using that as justification that mcdermott shouldn't be speaking out because his players do bad stuff as well, that's the logic you are using.

The eye gouge is irrelevant because

a) It's not an incident that happens week in week out, that type of tackle is
b) the rfl have the right attitude towards the eye gouge. If found guily it receives a healthy punishment and rarely occurs.

Indeed - they're so averse to it, that they banned Scott Moore for one, without any actual evidence, other than the incessant whining of Denis Betts.
