Have you read what your typing? Bailey did nothing wrong hence no penalty and no ban, seriously get over it you obviously have some weird fascination with Ryan Bailey.

He will get a ban for Mondays indescretions and rightly so, but check his record its no where near as bad as is made out.

*@RLMELTDOWN ALERT*





Obviously you'll think Wigan should be retrospectively stripped of all their 80s/90s titles for being over a salary cap that didn't exist then. And as for all the tries scored on the 7th or 8th tackle in the old days...

I tend to use my I pad



My point being I find it ridiculous people calling a professional RL player a coward. I wouldn't call any of them cowards. It's easy to sit at home and spout off calling people cowards when the vast majority wouldn't have the guts to run the ball up into the halfbacks never mind the forwards.

True. At least he's never looked at the oppositions fullback and thought "He looks tasty"!



Also, he may niggle and wind players up during a match, but he's never refused to shake hands when the game is over!

Bailey did use his shoulder, as was legal at the time, he kept it low, stood strong, turned his shoulder and Fa’asavlu ran into him face first. It was a good, well executed shoulder charge. It was a big hit, a good hit, and the reason Fa’asavlu was before he hit the ground was because he led with his face. I don’t know why he did it, I liked big Maurie, a proper dynamic, run busting forward, but he got his run wrong there and took a hit for it.

That was it really!



Bailey is a thug though and there really is no excuse for the offences he committed in France on Monday. He thoroughly deserves any ban he gets.

You're asking a Saints fan that?

What tosh.

Oh you!

Yeah, he's just a thug isn't he?

It's amazing that consecutive club coaches have been completely oblivious to his total lack of any rugby league ability all these years and continuted to select him.

But no, you know best. Really you do.

Is the other thread full? Classic Bailey!

A thug? He's never tried to bite someone's ear off, now that is thuggish behaviour

He's a cheap shot thug who goes after players smaller than him, went after Matty Wildie season before last. Got shown up for what he is by Justin Poore on boxing day

Yep.


I haven't commented on his rugby league ability.

Just to reiterate as a Dragons fan I think it made no difference to the result and the better side won...


...but keep on with the character assassination if you wish

Justine poore got sent off iirc, but of course he's not a thug is he but bailey is?

Why do you single out Bailey?

To be fair, he makes it so easy for people to have a go at him. He's the kind of player you can only like if he plays for your team, as you will see the good he does when he isn't falling foul of the referee's whistle.

For the rest of us, he's just a plain thug.

He's not really a thug. He's just a pantomime villain.

He picks on little guys and the crowd all boo him but I've never seen him actually hurt someone like a Newton, Morley, Cassidy type incident.

4 match ban apprantly.

Well it turns out the Leeds fans had a point, if the ref had done the right thing and sent him off for the first offense we would have only picked up a two match ban.

Because Bailey is a non stop shoitehouse with virtually no rugby skills.

Even past thugs like Les Boyd were very good players when they wanted to be.

In fact, why the hell Boyd resorted to his 'ugly side' I cannot comprehend.

On his day he was outstanding, but he will forever be remembered as being one of, if not THE 'dirtiest player' ever to have pulled on a rugby jersey.

not popular or respected amongst his peers, which speaks volumes.

Yet has been consistantly picked by 4 different coaches and played al part in the most succesful Leeds side ever, I'll take there judgement over hyperbolic keyboard warriors any day of the week.

No qualms with the ban but opposition fans are so blinded by something it's quite funny.

I wonder what it could be.

Oh and I think (I could be wrong) that is is baileys second red card in a ten year career, hardly the stuff of a thug
