Quote ="The Dreadnought"Bailey was doing what her normally does apart from he did it with a state of origin prop. Fists get thrown 3-10 times a game over there and is what I believe the toughest games are played. Bailey chewed more than he could swallow and got what he deserved. A bit tight on the red card I believe a sin-bin would of been enough. Bailey was quiet for the rest of the game, not suprised!!

Whilst I agree the NRL is the toughest rugby comp in the world rarely do they throw punches, that side of the game has become quite stagnant due to the professional levels they have taken the game to. Players get crucified for giving away penalties by coaches and also pick up significant bans.
It obviously happens from time to time, but not nearly as much as it used to or as often as it does over here.
As for Poore, for all the initial praise, he basically got sucked in by Bailey who has been doing it for years to great effect for Leeds. He is the master at getting under players skin and has added another victim to the long list. I cannot stand the bloke, and it's not as painful as it was a friendly but ultimately the goal is to win and Bailey plays an important role in bringing Leeds the spoils.
