Tomkins even admitted to you that all the Leeds players hate him! Ha ha

If Tomkins honestly thinks that Maguire's swinging arm can be compared to what Mcllorum did then he realy is absolutely thick!

You could apply that logic to everyone in Wigan they all reckon mcguires was worse than Mcilorums and reckong mags should be burnt at the stake

They (Bailey and Tomkins) cant hate each other that much as they were swappping phone numbers the other week

I have numbers in my phone of people i don't like

McIlorum probably got a three match ban because of his recent disciplinary record when he got sent off the previous time against St Helens for taking out one of their players with a nice uppercut.

I hope im not biased but its not in Danny Mcguire's game to take people out and although it wasn't the greatest tackle it probably wasn't on purpose.
Hoping the RFL see sense.

I hope he doesn't get a ban only for the fact that the small town of Wigan will implode.

Did Tomkins not get away with kicking out a few times the other year whilst other players were picking up bans for it?

I think it was the cas fans who were most upset

Another knowledgable Leeds fan I see

#goodthreadthis

Ooh I like that.

#disciplinaryroulette, was I believe the actual phrase young Sam used on Twitter.

LOL

guess no one on here remembers lee smith kicking out in the final eliminator against wigan in 08?

no case to answer, plays the next week and wins MOM. Saints fans certainly remember it

Or you remember Joel Tomkins kicking McGuire the other year.

I do, I think that's why I remember it from the "conversations" on here after that game.

He has a point though.

Whether he has a point or not, a leading player making public his criticisms of the disciplinary process is unprofessional and bordering on disrepute.

If he has something he wants to speak to the rfl about I'm positive he will have a contact or will know the procedure for doing so, doing it on twitter is poor imo.

Same Old Wigan.........If you can't Win fairly.........Win at all Costs.

Make me Sick

IIRC Smith scored a couple of tries for Leeds that night after raking Phil Bailey who was slow to move away after making the tackle. Smith aside it was the night of the Calderwood master defensive class in what was (again IIRC) his final appearance in a Wigan shirt before joinng Hull FC.

Aah calderwood.

Five try-saving tackles. Incredible defensive show. Jones-Buchanan twice, Senior and Lauitiiti in successive tackles and Burrow - who I think may have been airborn diving over under the sticks when Calderwood caught him in the gully. That was my favourite but the one where Jones-Buchanan thought 'I'm having one here' and Calderwood decided, eh no you aren't mate .... crash ..... have a seat in the paddock was quality. (There was almost a 6th but Senior just held on and got the nod from the video ref.)

All these thoughts only occurring after the match obviously as Leeds still went through 18 - 14 but still the best defensive game I think I've ever witnessed by a winger.

Calderwood had a knack for that, even at Leeds. I seem to recall him chasing down Raynor at Hull and as Raynor was under the sticks Calders dislodged the ball.

Was at his peak in that 2005 season at Leeds. What could've been had the grass not been greener at a lesser club like Wigan.
