He didn't take much ball in after though did he ?

Next ball he took he ran sideways to avoid the ' hit '

Big Tart

he is a thug, full stop,

allways the last man in , with either a swinging arm, fist or knees's, ive been saying this for the last few years, how he gets away with it is unbeliveible, a total thug, no other word for him,

He ran in sideways to find James Graham.

I have to say the shoulder charge and the sliding tackle that a defensive player usally make with their feet should be banned. The shoulder thing cannot be pulled out of when the player is set, so if the attacking player changes his direction or stance he is knackered. The sliding in with the feet, well it's just not RL. Its like two footed challenge in roundball. If you are going to use the shoulder tackle you should be bending when excecuting it and aiming for the mid torso not just below the shoulders. If the attacking player was to lift his arms to defend a tackle like that he would be accused of leading with the elbow.

But avoided the hit from Cunningham who was lining him up

You listen to Stevo too much

I didn't notice him taking much ball in after that though



Big Tart

Top Game, poor Rob Burrow got yed wacked again

Considering he'd just had a barney with Graham, he went looking for Graham, 'avoiding Cunningham' was irrelevant.

And I don't even have the sound on because of that clown.

and James Graham found him alright !

Who took the most balls in after , Bailey or Graham ?



Having said that it nearly worked for them as Saints lost the plot for a few minutes

Baileys a thug and a house, reminds me of Paul Rowley.

Graham took the ball in more as Bailey was subtituted for about 8 minutes to calm down.

Im not disputing that Graham had the better game between the two.

Calm down , calm down

Ah Vikingman where would we be without your cheeky little posts!



Bailey IS a thug (a convicted one at that), Paul Rowley is a cuddly teddy Bear!

Whatever floats your boat love.

As long as it's not a Viking boat eh?

My boat has huge mast with a powerful cannon.

Whatever Lady Boy.........

Ahhh Smythe nice to see you appear my Wigan friend.


Anyway back on topic, what a great game that was tonight.

The Fasa incident was 50/50 in my opinion, the ludicrous one was the tackle on Wilkin late on. Perfectly legal tackle only to be pulled up by an inadequate ref who said ''Ryan you are using too much force''??????????????????????????

He went one step further on the next play by ripping Roby's shirt of his back.



The lads an animal!

Lets face it, if he came on the market and wanted to play for either Widnes or Leigh, we'd love it. He's just one of those players you love to hate if he's playing for the opposition - like Paul Rowley.

That does not surprise me one bit.

I wonder if he learnt this pose in the showers when he was detained at Her Majesties pleasure?

You must have watched a diffeent game than I did because I thought the ref was outstanding last night.

Communicated with the players, had a calm authority and let the game flow.

I wish all refs would take that approach.
