McGuire didn’t need to have said anything the second time, even whispering ‘sorry Joel’ would have been so dumb and left himself open to a set up! Just keep his mouth shut and all would have been kosher for everyone….!
Which leaves one very simple question.,,why didn’t he?
It comes down to what I said the other week in various forms and posts regarding this.
I had said that the responsibility of this comes down to Darryl Powell and the coaching staff to protect his players from anything that may arise.
Josh mcguire in the leaving him out of the leigh game. This would have protected him from anything that would have arisen and made sure that there would be no repeat of the pre season game.
I also extended this to the gil dudson red card at catalans. If what happened with Tom Johnstone is true. And that he did indeed sleep with dudsons wife as is rumored. I would protect dudson from himself and have left him at home for the catalan match and live to fight another day.
2 separate times in which the coaching staff. And in particular daryll Powell should have addressed and acted on the situation to not only protect the players involved. But also the club and the integrity of everyone.
