I hope I'm not the only one on here that actually knows what happened that night, I have a very credible source as I've heard it direct from Liam. Not to be too unfair to TMFMISL (and I do like him as a player and a person) he got what he deserved.......

Ooooh sounds really gossipy & TOWIEy

Noy really I just happen to know what really went on that night, direct from Liam himself!

I'm sure that's an even balanced view then.

So it would appear Bailey isn't even the most feared man in his own club never mind SL. Priceless! Even more reason why he should be shipped off one way to London. Should TMFMISL now be changed to LHB, Liam Hood's Bitch? Please tell more.

Of course, that's the only reason he can't get a gig at any other SL or Championship club...

I've no reason to doubt his account of what happened, he was quite embarrassed about it (liam that is). He was actually thinking about not attending the homecoming nxt day until a few of the other members of the squad persuaded him to turn up. He did at the time think he would be released because of it!!!

Ryan Bailey is one of my fav players always has been, That being said He did act like an ar5e the night in question. In a nutshell- Showing off in front of some people he was trying to impress, picking on a junior member of the squad who had asked him to pack it in, Ryan carried on and got laid out with one punch.
There had been a lot of drink involved and was forgotten about pretty quickly after.


PM me if you want full details. But it isn't the big deal people are making it out to be, I only put this on because some posters seem to think it was behind him getting released.

was there a certain fowler he was trying to impress? he is used to kicking of with academy players.

Not surprising he thought that. The club are quite adept at ignoring Bailey's indiscretions.

Just like his drinking with his buddy Delaney. Get completely ignored, yet others have being punished for it.

What the hell was Pauline Fowler doing there?

he was released because he was nowhere near good enough. what else happened is irrelevant

I wonder what happens if Ryan Bailey doesn't like the first team coach. Is that coach gone soon after Ryan makes his feelings known.

Make me wonder whenever the whole club revolves around Ryan Bailey but I haven't had time to suss that out..

I'm sure it's just pure coincidence that Hood never played for the Rhinos first team ever again after the incident with the senior player.

I'm sure it's just pure coincidence that Hood was considered to have an extremely bright future but suddenly considered nowhere near good enough for the club after the incident with the senior player.

I'm sure it's just pure coincidence that the form of McShane and Burrow just happened to be so brilliant throughout the 2013 season that Hood's first team opportunities were thusly so limited.

Whenever I saw him play for Hunslet last season he did little to indicate that he had even a 10th of the ability needed to make an impression at Leeds. He was also very poor for Dewsbury during his time there. Simply not good enough, that's why he was released.

ROFL at the idea of Damo "not having time to suss something out".

Something similar happened in London after the Wigan v Leeds Wembley final in 2011. Again he was picking on some of the young players but I am told that Jack Hughes put him on his backside

He's probably playing half heartedly after been badly done to at Leeds. With the right support, there's a chance Liam Hood could have been a sensation in his position but he was never given a proper opportunity in the form of a decent run of games in the first team. At least Paul McShane had that chance.

A very similar situation would be Jamie Shaul who apparently didn't perform too well at York but went on to do pretty well for Hull FC in 2013. Some players just respond better in a more professional environment - maybe that's what Hood needs.

I've heard that after reading a scathing critique from Bails about her performance in Spamalot, Bonnie Langford took great exception and laid out TMFMISL with one punch!

Don't ya just love anecdotal nonsense?


PS Never saw Hood do anything to suggest he was good enough at SL level. The fact that an under-par McShane and Robbie kept him out seems indicative that the management didn't think he was good enough either. Good Luck to the kid. Hope he does a Jimmy Lowes and comes back to haunt us, but I doubt it.

That young winger of yours, who hasn't made it, tells a different story..... about how Bailey and JJB wanted to 'go' against half a dozen of them.

Then he deserves the career he gets.

Youngsters with "promise" are just that, they are not guaranteed to develop into top class senior players. If he'd been good enough he would have got his chance. It's a sad excuse to blame other factors, true, there are players who have not had the best of luck coming up, injuries at critical times, being at the back of the queue in a position at a club etc. However, there's more than one club in the competition and there are plenty of kids who have been shown the door to go to other clubs and really do the business.
In fact with the salary cap and the limited senior squad size clubs can run young players should actually expect to play senior rugby at a club other than the one they play academy rugby at. It's pretty clear that a junior signing for a SL club is highly unlikely to graduate to the senior side at the same club.

Which winger, and it's certainly not what I was told.

Forgot his name. Ryan? Maybe? He made the comments on his social network.
