Bailey starts the fights then goes hiding. I've only ever seen him stand toe to toe with one player and that was when Sculthorp knocked seven bells out of him.

Peacock also threw the first punch against Manly.

Wire aside, what about the other incidents? I feel we could have kept a lid on it. Displayed control. Even if the opposition are trying to lure us into it, so what?? If they tempted you to jump off a cliff, would you jump? I just think we should avoid jumping into things, clearly marked 'TRAP'. Slug it out if needed, but we are a hell of a rugby side, when we play rugby. That's how you win games. We can knock them about any road, without raising a fist. With our fragile squad at the moment, we need to avoid needless bans. That won't help our situation. Bluey mentioned this last week and I agree.

Pass. I know Brother Louie received a naughty letter that needs his mam's signature. Was he cited personally? Or was it the whole thing?

But you posted your initial post on the Bailey thread, and implied towards Bailey disciplinary. The other incidents were entirely Peacock.

I have watched Bailey many times get done with cheap shots on him and get up and laugh, not taking it further. On Sunday he could not possibly have just stood there and taken it. Then he gets some cowardly cheap shot merchant come from behind and lay into him too. Should he have done nothing there also.

I agree about trying to get away from getting sucked into punch ups.

As far as I know it was the entire incident that was put on report, the one that Paul Rauhihi took no part in whatsoever apparently.

What a confusing world we live in at times.

O shut up you tart. Sculthorpe was the biggest cheap shot merchant that Super League has seen.

I didn't to be fair.



I commented about Bailey's incidents in the Wire game that were looked at by the RFL, which is relevant on a Bailey thread. I then said:

"As a team we've sailed very close to the wind for these fights, lets knock these on the head, surely another incident will lead a player to be banned."

Hope that helps.

Ryan Bailey, the Neville brothers. Held their own in Championship winning sides, selected week after week after week on form.

Maligned for being .

Either they are the best conmen in the history of mankind, or professional sporting coaches know more than the fans.

I remember Bailey playing for England academy v Australia at Saints in around 2002. It got a bit tasty.

Bailey and Gareth Hock took on the Aussie pack that day (and won) It was the first time the Aussies had ever been beat at that level.

Trust me Bailey and Hock did not go hiding.

BTW England beat them again at Leeds a few days later to take the series
2 - 0.

And you tell me i know nowt about our sport!!

this fight between sculthorpe and bailey gets bigger every time someone mentions it,

crikey, it was the biggest bunch of handbags ever, Sculthorpe swung two punches at bailey then got back in the defensive line, bailey took two punches from sculthorpe, looked at the guy who was behind him, got a bit tangled, then got in the attacking line,

after all of Sculthorpes fights and handiwork, the one that gets mentioned the most is probably the least impressive thing i saw him do on a rugby field

You're a fekkwiitt.

I agree smokey i thought the one with him and farrell would be the most talked about!!!

I see Bailey had succeeded been a to[iss[/ier again, against Wigan's Sam Tompkins!


I mean what was he trying to do rape the poor kid?


Looked as though he wanted the shirt off the kids back.

Ever tried stand up?

Yes, wasn't for me though!

He wnt in to tackle him

If that's what you call a tackle?



Another Leeds player had hold of Tompkins, may have been Kylie. So Bailey decides to come in grab his collar and yank him about. It was just stupid.

Neither is Rugby League by the sounds of it.

Have you tried a sport with simpler rules that you might understand a little better, tiddley-winks perhaps?

TWS too rough...Netball perhaps

Narr – too many rules in netball for your average Hullian – he needs something simple AND sedate – speed knitting maybe?

What has that got to do with Baileys constant pratting about in the tackle? As been mentioned before about Bailey, he is a cheap shot merchant and goes hiding as soon as someone gives him some back.
The guy is a joke.

Not as much of a joke as you evidently.

I'm not the one who acts like a tw[ia[/it on the field thinking he's a hardman! But when someone is willing to give him it back sh[ii[/its himself!

Hes a prat, loves to try and bully anyone smaller than him. Sooner or later hes gonna get the pasting he deserves.
