When watching the game I thought Cooke had tripped him in the play that ended up in Fox being sin-binned. But watching again on Sky, McGuire throws himself on the floor. So Cooke can have the week off next week once Stuart Cummings decides he tripped him.

Ablett should be up at the disciplinary it was a swinging arm that didn't miss webster's nose.

It was the fact that Briscoe's forehead smashed in to Bailey's right temple that knocked him out, but it was a perfectly ligitimate challenge as the headbutt was not intentional.

As for the start of this thread, it was probably the awful state of the pitch that caused Mcguire to fall

It was played at Craven Park not Headingley

What awfull state of the pitch? (damp from the light rain made it slippy) you will not find a better pitch in Super league Headingly would snap our hands off for it.

at the game i thought hed tripped him but skys coverage didnt really show it i thought

i thought this post was gonna be Danny Maguires the new Shaun Edwards lol, the most hated man in rugby.

the pitch looked very good to me too, you must have been in the South stand about 5 miles away, your veiw must have been a bit poor mate.

Mate i'd love to see your view if it was the other way round. Nothing wrong with the tackle, Bailey didn't get up because he was embarassed that he got put on his back! Opposition players take digs all night from Bailey.... Swings and roundabouts!!

What has being a FC fan got to do with it? Forget who you support it is irrelevant...no attmpt at a TACKLE was made. It was a shoulder charge into somebody who was making a try making pass. Very poor technique in my opinion.

what if Briscoe didnt hit him and Bailey had thrown a dummy and scored?? the time from the pass been made and the hit was instant IMO, you cant pull out of them.

What complete tosh. This a RL forward not a Premier League prima donna. I am not and have not said Briscoe should be disciplined or that it was maliscious. It was bad technique and a blatant shoulder charge with no attempt at a tackle made.
Stayed down because he was knocked out briefly and the medical team took no chances.

Of course it was a blatant shoulder charge! He had to stop the player with the ball!

McGuire is a footballer in a rugby shirt. A good player, but he "wins" decisions. Not in my game.
