What's his problem with Peacock - as a professional journalist maybe he should watch the match again (and notice that Perry throws the first punch - albeit one that is partially concealed by being one the blind side of the camera)...

First we have this in the [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/mar/01/leeds-rhinos-manly-sea-eagles-rugby-league-world-club-challengematch report[/url...





Then after Peacock is not in trouble with the disciplinary authorities we have this [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/mar/02/jamie-peacock-world-club-challengebitchy piece today[/url

Is he just a bitter Lancastrian?

I notice the Guardian no longer allow comments on Wilson's articles...coincidence?

The thing with perry was that when he was one of the dummy runners he had been taking pot shots at our lads in particular burrow and ablett and he had an off ball discussion with bailey aswell.
I think peacock was lucky not to see red but he didn't dig perry unprovoked or without reason.
Andy wilson is similar to lockwood in the league weekly imo a lot of things they get right but when they rant they do tend to sound bitter.

Strange double standards by the author. I don't necessarily disagree with his comments about Peacock. There is an issue when its' twice in 4 games and he is lucky to escape sanction.

Why then, having taken such a stance against foul play, does he go on to describe Watmough's foul on Burrow as "a spectacular Anthony Watmough tackle". It was a foul that was penalised.

Therefore I have concluded that the article is biased and the author is a fekktard.

A quality conclusion sir!

Tony Smith had it nailed on the radio commentary during the fight when he pointed out that Perry had been niggling in the tackles for ten minutes leading up to the altercation with Peacock - its a forwards thing, they are bears of very little brains.

Well at least he might have got the facts nearly right. Was I mistaken or in Saturday's Daily Mirror in the write up before the match the main picture was of Paul Wellens purporting to be Sinfield?!

hey, i played in the forwards. though maybe you have a point

was that when tries were worth 3 points and not 4?

always get your retaliation in first!!

I turned to my dad about 10 minutes before he got into the fight and said he's looking for it. He'd already chased Bailey round the pitch looking for a fight.

This will be Josh Perry the reformed character of course. He won't be getting into any trouble. Oh no.

ouch!

No, just a long suffering, bitter Wiganer...

The main clue is he writes for The Guardian, I wouldn`t wipe the dogs bottom with it.

I used to think Wilson was decent enough and thought he was just the kind of journalist to promote League to a wider audience.

Not so sure anymore; after his coverage of the end of last season he does seem less than enthusiastic about the success of Leeds.

Considering he is an RL journalist, he spends plenty of time talking the game down.

[url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2009/mar/05/leeds-manly-world-club-challengeThis[/url makes it 3 articles in one week on a minor punch up by the bitter wiganer...get a life man!!

Arguably this is the most pathetic of the lot.

This one is open for comments...anyone fancy contributing?!

These two posts hit the nail on the head for me:





Wilson seems to
a) have a problem with Leeds' success; and
b) have been taken with depression over the last couple of years (maybe linked to Wigan's fall from grace?) and now has a tenancy to come accross as a miserable (which is the last thing League needs in a major national - we have enough knockers in the Union old boys network as it is)
