Brian McDermott replied to Shaun Wane's comments yesterday and I must admit that in my eyes, McDermott has given a fair overview - Nobody an argue that Tautai's tackle wasn't a bad one and McDermott actually said its nothing about Wigan or TT but that he wants that tackle out of the game and refs / governing body need to make a stand on it.

I don't think Wane should be constantly looking for these battles week in week out. It's happened with Wakefield & Chris Chester, Cas & Daryl Powell and Leeds & Brian Mc are the latest now. I just think it alienates a lot of rugby league and it's almost an "us v the world" mentality - whether this is some mind games ploy to motivate his players I'm not sure but I don't think it's good to see.

Interesting McDermott seems to nor mention Ablett targeting the eyes of Greenwood during their handbags scuffle. Scott Moore picked up a 4 game ban for contact with the eyes recently with significantly less video evidence to back up the charge.

Maybe he should address the conduct of his own players before choosing to have a go at others, unless as a man he condones his players targeting the oppositions eyes.

I agree but you have to admit, it is pretty funny

If you look at the photo of that, it looks bad for Ablett, but he was just pushing him in the face, nothing in it

As Bilko said on twitter, he's just deflecting attention away from our players ahead of the derby, specifically Bateman!

Even some of your own fans are acknowledging it was out of order. I havnt seen any stills, I saw it in real time on Sky. I will not say he gouged him but on 2 occasions he deliberately targeted Greenwoods eyes after kneeing him on the floor.

My thoughts exactly , which journo or TV pundit is going to ask him what he thinks of contact with the eyes ? I will await with interest.

The worst tackle of all last week, the one which could have inflicted the most damage was the forearm into the back of the neck by Singleton, on I think it was Gildart. The "potential of that going wrong" was a player in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. It never got a mention, but I'm sure it will have been "noted" for another day.
