Fair play to Bailey. The only forward out there tonight bothered about playing for Leeds. Every other forward was pathetic and hid. Peacock was pathetic and it pains me to say that but it must be recognised. Leeds got battered tonight and had no answers. Pack should hang their heads IMO.

did you hear benthem."you tackled too hard".
mans a joke

That was laughable tbh. What can a player do when a player is on the floor, pat him on the head?

he told him to"lay your hand on him"

Bailey was outstanding tonight..all match...very dissapointed with Ablett's defence though...will have to watch back but i thought he was directly responsible for 2 Saints scores.

Would rather lose this one and beat them at HQ in 2 weeks which i now beleive will happen.

Not according to Cullen he reckoned it was probably the best refereeing he's ever seen.

he ridiculed what bentham said in regard to that incident

Hahaha. That was funny.

I'd be very concerned about Peacock's form this year, something is just not right with him.

Maybe it's just age and tiredness. When he first comes on he makes a big impact, all older props lose form due to natural lack of fitness. (not match fitness, just general fitness)

My 10 year old got told the same at a rugby summer camp, and was made to sit out!

My comment as it was then - it's not bloody tag rugby!

Nowt wrong with Bailey's tackle (so to speak), and I don't like him.

I actually think that today we missed Eastwood - previously I was siding with those who thought we should have used cap space / quota on a centre, but forwards win and lose you games, with Kirke and Lauttiti (sp?) out we were a little lightweight up front - and with the law of averages we are going to have 1 or 2 forwards out at any time.

I personally feel we are 1 heavy forward short in the squad at the moment.

That said, I think Peacock has been playing pretty well generally but doesn't look 100% fit (wasn't he suppsoed to have a wrist injury) and I am more impressed by Burgess every time I see him.

The hit on Fa'asavalu was legal, the one on the floor wasn't. The impact was his arm on his head, so still a high tackle despite Wilkin being on the floor. Always going to be a penalty, despite the ridiculous comments about it from the otherwise excellent Bentham.

And I cannot believe you are letting the big hit warp your view of your forwards tonight. After the hit Bailey was taken off, Leeds don't trust him. At a time when he could have stayed on and helped win the game, they dragged him off because they didn't have any faith in his temperament. Contrast with Saints who wound James Graham up and sent him on, knowing he wouldn't be indisciplined.

Your best forward tonight was Luke Burgess. He's already better than Bailey.

Have to agree with all that. At times Bailey did look like a liability for Leeds, a real loose cannon. Burgess is looking quality atm. Not yet at his brother's level though

I agree he'll just have to make do with outplaying him in our matches againts the bulls and challenging for silverware while young sam is stuck with has been's and never will be's and being over-relied on by the best english coach in the game

Sounds about right to me!

Unlike the other week when the indisciplined ginger s***house cost you 2 points eh?

Not a valid comparison really - keeping your cool or not in a heated situation versus not being square at marker.

He conceeded a technical penalty, he didn't get himself sent off.

How anyone can call Graham a s***house is beyond me.

i thought tonight bailey was cool. he did very little wrong and boy did he wind some of the saints players up,causing them to forget the game. it was then,as saddened has said, we dominated for a period

Bailey was cool-ness personified. The "fat" ginger "C*nt" on the other hand had lost it the moment he came on the pitch. He was a liability for Saints which led to our try and us clawing the game back at that stage. Bailey really got under his skin.

Classic Bailey.

In that period, he was. He had to be spoken to by the referee the second he came on the pitch. Had that been Bailey the wallflowers in the Rugby League community would've been frothing at the mouth.

For all Graham's pontificating how many drives did he then take at Bailey?

Nonsense, they took him off because they didn't trust him. And how can you suggest Graham was a liability when he came back on? We won the game when he did, there is a link between the two.

Absolutely awful trolling.
