Where are his detractors now???




Looks like he's off the hook this week maybe they'll turn on ryan hall now he made a couple of mistakes

Yer i'm sure some internet warrior's comments on here will really have an effect on Bailey's performance.

Bailey and Senior were both magnificent tonight, i'm sure the usual bashing will commence somehow

Bailey, best forward on the field tonight, and that was before he slung the pass out to Watkins. McGuire just about m-o-m

Bentham- absolute joke

Bentham's home bias was embarrassing tonight.

Not often I agree with Lister, but Bailey and Senior were the best players for Leeds tonight.

rightly or wrongly he certainly evened things out with a couple of penalties at crucial points late on for Leeds and the sin binning - Fox(?)

You mean the proffesional foul??


Watch the game properly we were caned by bentham and didn't get the same amount of pens for the same offences commited by the robins.

Sums it up. No further arguments needed.

Aye I was saying to my mother that I expect Senior to play for the Rhinos till he’s 40 if he carries on like this. I also explained that Bailey does come up with a sensational performance now and again but is not one of the superstar players and just does the job.

I said the same myself. He was fantastic. Most often than not I don't rate the guy but when it comes to a team effort he's fantastic. If there's one guy the rattle and irritate the opposition so they forget their game plan its Bailey.

I thought Bailey had his best game of the season tonight.
Showed real pace for the break that led to the winning score.
God, Briscoe must have a hard head! Looks more like Chico Jackson every week.

Nobody could EVER look as bad as 'Chico!' Know what you mean though!

we got "caned " by bentham because we were persistently offside. Are you aware of the rules?

He lamely tried to even things up later on by handing Leeds a couple of penalties and sin-binning a KR player.

Re-read the full statement

I'm not doubting the game was poorly refereed. If he'd been more even handed in his handling of the offside offences, he wouldn't of had to sin bin Senior, and therefore probably wouldn't have sin binned Fox.

What I'm saying is he did even it up in the end - whether or not he should've put himself in that position is a different matter.

Firstly he sin-binned mcshane,secondly how did he even it up??
Fox was a proffesional foul no if's or but's about it.
Like i said he caned us in the penalty count but didn't penalise them for the same offences.

good luck to bailey in his recovery it looked a nasty one. lets hope it looked worse than it actually was.

He was dreadful tonight. Very lucky not to concede points off his mistakes.

In your biased opinion of course.

Try to look at it from a neutral point of view.

As for the poster who said he evened it up, Fox deserved to go. He was consistent with that.

Baileys best game for a while IMO. Note that his break came running out wide, where he played most of his academy days IIRC. Always had alot more potential at 2nd row comparedto prop for mine, and tonight he showed how mobile he is when he gets going. Great ball to Watkins as well, hope he's alright.
P.S. What is teh craic with Briscoe's nose? Makes Ian Dowie's look straight.

You know me and refs, I rarely bag them. However tonight he seemed to referee the two sides completely differently. Bluey hinted at this in his extra time interview. On the commentary, you could clearly hear him warning KR on the run about being off-side and not having two feet over the line on a number occasions. yet he adopted a zero tolerance approach to Leeds for the same offences.

I've seen poor refereeing displays and I've seen awful displays. I can't recall seeing such a biased display in the past.

He'd have needed to award us four penalty tries to even up the advantage he was trying to give Hull KR tonight. Terrible display by him. Gritty display by KR and a great display by us in all the circumstances.

I've just had a flash back to Widnes away when they first came up to SL (2002?) - Bailey was at 2nd row that day for the academy before the main game IIRC and was awesome. I'm pretty sure he bagged 2 or 3 tries that day, and I'm sure they all came from him running the similar line as he ran tonight for the Watkins try.

I don't like to comment on refs until i've watched a game a second time as watching it 2nd time is more like watching as a neutral. Plus, you notice more.

I just feel its too easy to lean towards your own team watching it for the first time. I diud think some of the decisions were a bit one sided and Sinfield doesnt usually get frustrated like that which lead me to believe he felt aggrieved. I'm still 80/20 over the Webster no try.

TBH though I thought I was on the Wakefield board at first.

Its' a fair point about the 2nd viewing and I'll certainly do that but you cold see the Leeds players getting riled and with clear justification.

Bluey commented about how the 10 metres were being policed very differently and he seemed, for him anyway, pretty peeved.

I think the Webster no try was correct. There was probably as much doubt as Donald's. Clarke called it immediately and Kear agreed. The ball changes direction completely when Webster knocked it on with his left hand.

Still, you play for 80 mins and when you've had a penalty count like that in you favour and the VR has chalked off two of your opponents tries if you pack the game in you've only yourselves to blame.

Felt a little sorry for Whelam (sp). He'd done a decent job on Senior before Baily trampled him.

Typical of Bentham that he couldn't even manage to do that.

12-5 overall (I think) to HKR.

The game was lost by their own inability to retain possession, particularly in the second half. It didn't look like they got to many kicks after the interval and Hall's performance had given them every incentive to do so.

Quite apt really, coming on the same ground as Vince 'five thumbs' Fawcett's infamous 'on - drop ball - off' performance.

Oh and Ryan Bailey was superb tonight. Best forward on the field for me.
