Should of got at least 1 match for the grapple then the head slam that followed.
Hooper's late hit's could never be blown out of proportion just ask brandon costin and terry newton who both injured player's with late hit's but because no-one was seriousley injured when hooper did it he got away with it which imo doesn't make it right.
As for pryce what happened when he did it again??
Answer the rfl bottled it and blamed some obscure camera angle for him not getting banned.
P.s I agree the rfl disciplinary system is a joke but you saying "we got away with one for once" is just as big a joke!!

I don't recall any mention of racism



Leeds are to good of a team to have to resort to a 'player' of the likes of Bailey.
He does not do the profile of Rugby League any good at all.

The racist comments are a bit OTT IMO.

And what good does 2 player's betting on their own team to lose do for the image of our great game????

In what way?

Cut him a bit of slack, not all players can live up to the high standards of Leon Pryce.

This opinion of yours does not do the profile of Rugby League fans any good. You make us look like we all eat lard and chew our shoes.

Your post shows an I.Q. equivalent to a pigeon......after road-kill.

Aye, he should stick to kicking down the doors of single women and threatening them with violence instead...

Brandon Costin seriously injured Sean Long, but it wasn't particulary late, and not many Saints speccies held it against him.
Hooper's challanges were borderline and although he was penalised (debate raged as to whether or not he'd have been pinged in the NRL) he always tended to attack the main body of the kickers as opposed to the vunerable extremities. When it became clear the refs had tighened up on this ruling, he changed his style to attack the ball in a unionesque manner.
Terry Newton (if its the Long incident you're talking about) elbowed a guy in the face after he'd passed the ball.

he doesn't enhance it like, say Nickle, or Matautia

It was still a late hit and if the rfl had stamped this out earlier then the injuries could of been avoided and hooper was high and late on more than 1 occasion so let's not try and disguise that!!

You can't compare Hooper's charge downs with Newton's incident. No way.

Newton went out to injure someone. Hooper's charge downs were an example of a committed if over zelous attitude to the game.

Ryan Bailey - The Man - The Legend

Love the raised eyebrow, although the lipstick's a bit much for me.

I think he got that off 'r lass.

The girl in the photo? Is she really tall, or is he sat down?

Eye. I dunno, i didnt take the photo!!!! i presumed he may be hunched.

Is [iyour[/i lass approx 6'4''?

What's wrong with that?

Nothing. I like tall women and between you and me, out of ten, I'd definately [igive 'er one[/i.

Ho Ho!!!

Join the q.





She's about 5' 7".

I'd like to. This is my bird

Hooper's challenges were not examples of committed if over zealous attitude. The timing of them and the way he went about it were IMO deliberate late challenges on the kicker. He knew exactly what he was doing.

he did it far to often for it to be 'over zealous'

I'm just really pleased that all the Saints fans have finally done one and cawled back under the rocks they came from.
As Bailey is my half brother's' brother, I tend to class him as family and hate it when reading a load of s opinions from the safety of their PC's keyboard when they clearly wouldnt say to his face.

Thank god there ain't all single minded people on here and that he has some fans. End of day Rhino's fans love him, other teams fans hate him. But I really don't think he cares.

Rhino's for 3rd consecutive title this season!!!


Bailey to score winning try... Haha that'd be a right up yours to whoeva we were to beat!!!
