You see, you've got that all wrong. Him going sideways looking for Graham proves he's soft, because he had to go behind Leeds players to get there. Forget the fact he was deliberately picking out an already rattled opponent, that's was just a clever smokescreen on Ryan's part.

OK with that?

Definitely a knock on.

Let me borrow something from the end of "A Time to Kill" by John Grisham.

Close your eyes and imagine this scenario.

Leeds are playing St Helens in the cup in two weeks time. Kylie drives the ball in and is floored by a very hard tackle from Jon Wilkin. The referee calls a scrum and does not penalise Wilkin for the tackle.

Ryan Bailey is brought off the bench. He is out of control, going wild. Before play re-starts and before the scrum is formed he is in Wilkin's face, threatening him, abusing him. He's so out of control that before the scrum can pack down the referee pulls him to one side and speaks to him specifically and tries to calm him down.

Ryan won't though. He's like a mental patient and spends the next five minutes finger pointing and threatening Wilkin at every break in play. Telling him what he's going to do to him.

Now, imagine the reaction on here from fans of all teams if Bailey behaved in that manner. Just imagine it.

OK, open yours eyes. Now, think back to Friday nights game. A prop from one of the two teams behaved in exactly that manner. What reaction did it draw from fans of opposition fans? Was their widespread condemnation of the thuggish like behaviour from this player? No, there was applause. He was roundly applauded for having "sorted out" his opposite number.

Now, I have no problem with the way James graham behaved on Friday. Bailey was getting on top pf the Saints forwards and Graham came on to remedy that. He went OTT but big deal. However, the fact remains that the behaviour from white prop forward James graham was a million times worse than the behaviour of black prop forward Ryan Bailey but who gets the condemnation and who gets the plaudits?

Its' not difficult to figure out.

That just goes to show that headstands on a rugby pitch are never a good idea....

Dont you feel silly now?

Just remind us who was sent off for that tackle.

How appalling is your racism? I ask for a specific example of a Bailey incident and you provide one involving a white prop who was punished for it.

The racism is rife on here.

Just fit up the black lad stood nearby. He probably works for the Met,

Correct with all your posts Gareth, nobody seems to mention Graham coming in 3rd man into tackles for most of the game. That's the biggest softcock thing you can do in Rugby League if you ask me.

someone has very kindly put 'St Helens v Leeds 2009 just the biff' on a well known website

- credit to Lee Smith, who despite being punched repeatedly by thuggish St Helens players, doesn't drop the ball.

- compare to Maurie, who takes one knock and drops it.

Just watched that myself, thought Smith did well to be honest and cant of thrown that many punches with one hand where as said thuggish St Helens player goes ballistic

Ablett's also got a warning letter for pretty much the same thing [urlhttp://www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplinary_item.php?id=832[/url. It seems as though they're both cases of "chicken wing" tackles, which the club need to sort out as soon as possible, there's no need for things like that in our game.

yet no opposition fans going wild about these tackles, both of which should be disciplined IMO. There's no place for it in the game.

I dread to think what the racists would've made of it had Ryan committed either of those tackles.

I thought Fasavalu put undue pressure on the shoulder of Bailey

Awesome shot by Bailey, full credit now ive seen it.

Think theyll change the rules after this, like the NRL were your responsible for where your shoulder lands regardless of intent as your shoulder is judged to part of your arm over there. Which to be fair,makes sense.

No wonder SBW thought it was time to leave.

How many matches did Ben Hannant get for his two attempted shoulder charges at the weekend?

I like your point Gareth but I struggled to concentrate after this line...[ia very hard tackle[/i from Pretty Boy Wilkin...I'll have some of what you're drinking

Also credit to Lee Smith for not dropping the ball despite the clear grapple hold around his neck and hands in his face (and possible eye gouge) in that same incident - well worth a watch on the well known video website.

Interestingly if you go on the stains forum that was Bailey trying to [iavoid[/i Graham - I must go check that video again

(Re: 'Ryan Bailey The Most Feared Man In Super League')

Well to be honest, I made an executive decision on that one, and came up with a worthy quote. I mean, there has been hundreds and hundreds of posts about him, from Rhinos and from other clubs.

Bailey is hated. Bailey is feared.

Ryan Bailey the most feared man in Super League.

Fact.

Feared by who? People using mobile phones?

Feared by you, specifically, soft lad.

What would I have to fear? What would he do to me? I dont steal mobile phones so why would he want to give me a shoeing?

A multitude of sins.







Your another of the soft c*ck brigade, who scours other teams boards over the interest in your own. That speaks volumes.
