well thats sorted now , we can now put it to bed

nice to see he remembers it now he has been told to


another trait of sam is now that of a compulsive liar

aw bless

Looking at your avatar reminds me of how 'peanut head' attempted a little trip on Tomkins with a minute to go and ended up going over the advertising boards himself in the process.....so thanks!

like he had anything to do with that apology

That was quality! How embarrassing for the self appointed enforcer

It's nice to see the club seeing sense.

He deserves a fine and a ticking off but not a ban. Hopefully the RFL should see sense too

Its great, I love all this. I love it when players have an opinion instead of rolling out the old cliched crapola, all this adds up to is a great game the next time we play them. If we play Leeds in the play offs that game is going to boil over (rubbing hands) and I'm made up Joel has called Bailey out, would be a half decent player if he weren't such a 5hitbag.

As for the muppet who says players shouldn't sledge each other I really couldn't stop laughing #neverplayedagameinhislife

For the record i have played rugby for long periods of my twenties.

Sams actions are wrong, you can defend him all you like, but the fact remains if he continues in this vain he will become hated.

I dont hate him and i did not boo him at headingley. However, i think whilst sledging takes place, there is something about the way he goes about his business that is just wrong. His actions are just that of a spoiled kid.

I hope he does not waste his talent.

He isn't wasting his talent, he is ripping the league to pieces with a smile on his face not letting himself get bullied in the process and opposition fans don't like that, they would rather they booed him until he went off the field in tears.

(Puts fingers up to all the Sam haters)

Danny McGuire is wasting his talent by trying his hardest to be a niggly little so and so, he is a very good player and needs to cut it out as he is playing garbage because of it.

Think they are hoping for leniency with RFL?

Leniency no, consistency for sure.

if they had wanted leniency they would have stated that the fine was to be sent to the rugby league foundation to be used in helping fund their respect campaign

It should be a rap on the nuckles from the RFL.

Sam should be available for next week all things being equal

What has Joel said about Bailey?

I think I've missed that...?

That he is only good for cheap shots at smaller players.

It was on the BBC website, but i cant find it now sorry.

I have just posted that pic of churchill on facebook about a hour ago

No chance should Sam get a ban. Briers, Mathers, Myler etc. have all done the same in the past.

Bailey is a bullying thug, a right ehouse.

He always has a go at the small guys like Luke Robinson, Kev Brown and Danny Orr and when they are on the floor or trying to play the ball.

For some strange reason he never seems to have a toe to toe with another prop. When the biff starts he is at the back away from trouble.

Just after Leeds'/Hall's first try, Charnley is in the backfield, and Bailey comes running in to congratulate Hall. Charley is in the way, but takes a couple of steps out of the way. Josh tries to avoid him but Bailey takes another step towards him, and puts the shoulder/elbow into him. This was clearly visible on one of the BBC replays (the view from down in the corner). Again, one of the smallest guys on the field who shows his class by his skills, being bullied by one of the biggest, who shows his "class" by his snide actions both on and off the field.

No ban required. Fine is sufficient. Hopefully he won't do it again.

The hysteria across the boards is quite ridiculous, but before Wigan fans throw too many stones, remember some of your reactions to Danny McGuire last year.

Isn't that the one where McGuire injured himself when trying to cheat ?

To be honest, the reaction to that incident from Leeds was even worse - and that was from Leeds officials, not just fans.

To try to cast McGuire as the victim in that incident was ludicrous. Both the Leeds captain and coach tried to imply that Wigan were somehow at fault, which was nothing more than a transparent attempt to cover that McGuire had actually been up to - cheating his team's way into the next round, and injuring himself in the process.

All through that buiness, the Wigan club maintained a very dignified silence.
