As far as I'm aware it has to be an independent witness. Leigh players won't count as they're not impartial.

I thought last time it was a Leigh player that backed up Charnley ?

When will they announce if Leigh have submitted a complaint, I know the deadline is tonight.

It was Charnley that confirmed that the ref had heard McGuire`s comments at the Disciplinary Hearing, and initially drew the ref`s attention to McGuire profanity.

Tom Amone was charged but although the ref heard the remark, he couldn`t be certain that Amone had made it.

Snitches get stiches.

I do wonder what Alan Rathbone (God rest his soul) would make of it all.

Having watched the "incident" a few times ... if McGuire got a ban he might be the first ever to be found guilty of whispering sweet nothings in someone's ear.

Most of us could see McGuire allegedly said something to Charnley.
McGuire went for him and you saw him smiling following the incident.
This time it seems he kept it QT.
One word against another. It won’t hold up.

Going back to the first incident
, someone mentioned Amone…
I thought the RFL requested Amone to give evidence on what McGuire said,,,and he reluctantly gave evidence against him.

No, Tom Amone was definitely charged, but got off, because although the ref heard a reply to McGuire`s cursing, he wasn`t sure that Amone had made the retort.

He didn`t give evidence against McGuire.
