Yes, I remember Bailey putting Faasavalu on his back. I also remember Bailey going missing for the rest of the game, bricking himself when Graham came back onto the field looking for him.

Oh the hypocrisy, considering YOU were one of the ones laughing at Newtons attack on Long.

I still can't make my mind up whether this is the most sickening thing I've seen from a RL player to be fair, the other contender is Cassidy's elbow to Morley's face.

No I was not. I've never, ever laughed at someone having their face broken, and I've never condoned Newton's actions that day.

Find me some proof and I'm happy to stand corrected, but until you can, I suggest you retract that comment.

Ah now you see that one was perfectly justified (according to most Goons I've seen discussing it on here) because Morley caught Robbie McCormack high earlier in the game.

I'm going to put Shaun Edwards on Bradley Clyde at Wembley up there as well. He knew damn well what he was doing.

Good to see you lot can't help but talk about Wigan even when the thread is about a Leeds and Hull player.

No, we're talking about thuggery.

Surprisingly the discussion came around to Cassidy. Who'da thunk it eh?

So you've gone from 'Bailey-Radford...set aside your prejudices?' to talking about Wigan players.

Now you're just repeating yourself - don't you have some windows you could be licking?

Shocked at this Andy!

It didn't seem to sink in the first time.

Senior on BJ Mather?

Sonny Nickle on Robbie Mears?

That was a baddun. Nickle was actually very well behaved in his 2nd stint at Saints, considering his firey nature during his first. However, that one was a sickener.

Senior on Mather has alway stuck in my mind.

racist! (had to get the thread back on track, after all)

Seriously people, look back from the start of this thread and reread the posts. You will see an incredible amount of biased numpties posting.

Bailey is a cowardly thug who gets away with things, yet the player who repeatedly punches a man lying face down on the floor is considered a hero who should not be sent off.



Seriously, only on RLFANS could you see such childish hypocrisy.

Radford is Super League's "have-a-go hero"!

Don't be daft, colour has nothing to do with it. Not saying that Radford was anything other than stupid, he maybe should have done as Bailey does and got a sneaky un in as third man in the tackle.

Funny how when all these acts of cowardness/brutality/thuggery are recalled none of them were perpertrated by Bailey, what is the worst thing he's done on the field to warrant his reputation as the biggest thug in the game ?

I do love the the reason he never gets banned in that Leeds have the RFL in their pocket line. If Bailey tackles above the waist the knuckle dragging opposition fans go ballistic shouting high, due to the comotion it gets put on report, result no case to answer. Bailey does a high tackle the opposition fans foaming at the mouth with their hatred screaming off, off. Put on report, penalty sufficient.

It really is hilarious a few elbows, knees and sly digs here and there garner such bile and vitriol. Someone mentioned Paul Davidson earlier, a fairly apt comparison, never received the abuse Bailey does, I wonder why.

You tell us, please do.

yet i bumped into a lancashire based gb international yesterday and asked him about bailey and he laughed. he agreed he was a wind up merchant but said there are plenty of them about. he said also said there were far bigger thugs about and while he didn't particularly like bailey he couldn't see why he gets the stick he does

Because he never gets punished for it is probably why people give him stick.

He's not done anything of major note (i.e. finger someone's anus or grab someone's nuts in the tackle), but he has consistently been a thuggish and cowardly player in pretty much every game he's played in in SL.

People seem to hate Lauaki as well, but what has he ever done as well?

Well done

Jeez you're hard work.
