Given the apparently random and arbitrary nature of disciplinary panel decision I kinda doubt it.

Maximum penalty for a grade a is 1 match or SOS. To put this in perspective, Tickle was charged at Grade B for the derby for the melee that ensued.

The A grade is used mostly when there is a reaction to provocation so reckon he will get off .

ryan Bailey hasn't been cited at all for his part...

Youdo know you're talking about Bailey - he never accidentally puts a cheap shot on anyone!

Looks like going crazy and trying to headbutt players is OK from now on then. Roll on the derby and plenty of attempts from us that go unpunished.

Is Bailey's grandad on the disciplinary panel?

Lee Radford is Super League's have-a-go hero. Fed up with Bailey's dirtiness and getting unpunished by the authorities, Radders has taken it upon himself to dish it out.

Just like in the real world though, had I gone outside and clobbered the chav scum round my end, I'd be the bad one.

Radders should not have retaliated, but it is very hard not to especially when adrenaline is flowing and it is a big game. However as a professional sportsman he should have the capacity to restrain himself in these types of situations and look to get back at Bailey legally throughout the rest of the game.
The fact he continued to incite Bailey after the incident will also have helped sway the referees mind.

Bailey for my money was out of order with the elbows to the head and should definately looked at by the RFL (which we will find out about soon enough) but he should also be up for a charge of attempted headbutting which is a far more serious offence.

I have read plenty on this and the people who are saying about hitting Bailey when he was defenceless mention nothing of Wellens cracking Mcgoldrick in the Saints/Cas game when he too was laid on the ground. I think the fact Radford brought blood makes people see things in a different light.

Not Hard Enough? laid out stuart fielden in 2 rounds

Radford is one hard mother,doesn`t matter how people try to spin it different.

Well said.

been told tonight bya player that radders has been charged with the lesser grade a offence and is hoping for a fine only ,great news if he gets off ,sorry if somone has already posted this

On SL website today bud

Grade A.

Anybody know what Bailey got?

3 stitches.

Hell yeah. As long as we don't get a repeat on Saturday.

i rarely look on here nevermind comment but whilst i agree BIG TIME that the head butt attempt was blatant and also 1 metre from the ref the next bit is total tosh. if our mob came out attempting headbutts every 5 mins you'd be livid. think bailey a a 24 carat but thats nothin to do with rovers or the fact that your saying players should headbutt.

RFL are laughable mate. Seems every time a Hull club is up we face severe penalties that west riding and lancashire teams dont.
