You could make the world's biggest omelette from the amount of egg being wiped from the faces of all those on here bitching about the unfairness at Red hall!

Oi, sh[ii[/ithead. I can take your constant trolling - I even enjoy some of it - but using the 'H' word is a step too far. East Yorkshire, if you please.

Good to see common sense prevail.

Really? The RFL disciplinary panel have accepted that Radford was provoked. So why didn't Bailey have to answer to it? Leeds bias, it's that simple.

It took the gravitas of James Rule to ensure justice prevailed though.

bitching? oh you must be referring to the initial one match suspension.....i'm afraid there is no egg today

just a sigh of relief that the RFL have some sense to change their mind and allow us to play radford in our derby

as you were...

And for all those who were defending the first decision, 'Provoked' Eh!

Spot on. RFL are laughable.

What has always been a bone of contention to me about appeals overturning suspensions etc is that if they have overturned it due to provacation then
A why wasnt this seen to begin with from the VT like everyone else saw and save the player a lot of worry, time and money.
B if he is provoked then surely Bailey has to answer for his part in it as per their own rules?
C, wouldnt it make sense to have someone from the club present in the actual initial viewing of the incident who may point these things out before the shout of wether it needs him to attent or not in the first place...

Dont disagree with any of your points.

I 'gree with expro's last post.

Wow, you enjoy it? I knew that'd get a response though

I think Radford was let off because it was only Ryan Bailey. However, he was was given the £300 fine for missing with 2 of his punches!

There might be something in that. My Warrington supporter work colleague said in his opinion the entire rugby league community was urging Radford on.

With the amount of time you spend on this board, you don't need to visit.

An amazing u turn. you'd have to go back a couple of thousands of years to that Saul guy at the side of a dusty road for a similar conversion!

On Monday Bailley had no case to answer....come Wednesday, Radders was provoked!



The right commonsense decision in the end though.

After all you can't really ban a guy for what amounts to 2 matches, when he only managed to land one punch out of four on someone laid prone on the ground!

That would have made the RFL look almost as ridiculous as Lee "couldn't hit a cow's with a banjo" Radford......


Robins by plenty on Sat

You would be better off worrying about how many Wigan will beat you by.

I'd never thought of Bailey as a "cow's booty" - but I can now see what you mean!

Great news.

Actually I do find it ironic how many people are desperate to have him back for Saturday when only a week ago a lot of fans were not even happy he had signed a new contract

biff

TBF I think I was the only one hoping the ban would be for 2 years



Actually he is much better than Yak ATM but it will be Dowes that misses out which is a shame.

We've just said the same. The ban seems to have taken on a disproportionate importance this week, normally wouldn't have been bothered seeing that Dowes is fit anyway.

I'm made up the ban got overturned but I'm still disappointed he's been handed a two year contract.

I think it all goes to help boost the morale of the team and the fans, its a psychological boost.

I'm expecting a big game from Radford. I'm sure he knows he messed up last Saturday and will want to make amends.
