Im sorry - but acting professionally comes with the territory.
Im from Leeds and will always 'like' the club - but if Sinfield can be a great winner, then the total opposite is to be said of Bailey. Always number 1 to antagonise, which in a game is part and parcel of RL - so those have a blind eye turned, but to rub it in after the final whistle is nothing short of pathetic from Bailey.

What kind of coward takes pleasure after such an epic final to not even sqaure up to the bigger experienced members of Saints, but to go to the junior members?

I personally hope that an Aussie or Kiwi sit him on his during the 4 Nations, or that he royally screws up with huge consequences leaving hime nowhere to hide.
Great Britain is exactly about being 'Great' - and Ryan Baileys actions couldnt be any less 'great' in how he acts.

Yes he deserves his place - but there is much more to being part of the team, one being that you trust the person next to you to stay focussed on winning - not looking to take cheap shots or scoring petty points.

Lets see how he fares when he's a small fish in the big pond!

in the case of yeaman and briscoe, they won't gave played a game for 5 weeks. the wire players 3 weeks. the team to play against Aus and Nz should get some practice.

Not playing your first choice team because you're worrried they are going to get injured is frankly rediculous.

If that was the point i was making you'd be 100% right but if you read what i'm saying you'd see clearly it's much more of a case of giving 1/2 of the new lads a better chance to be ready IF required.
Like i posted there are players within the squad who are shoe ins for the 1st 17 that can comfortably miss the France game and turn out against wales pretty much unaffected.

Not at all. In fact we should put our best 4 players on the bench against Aus until the last 10 minutes in case they get injured in the first 70. They would then destroy the injured Aussies. I am Steve MacNamara.

No. You're Andy Goodway and you've just left MOS, writers player of the year and Players Player of the year, Iestyn Harris warming his bum while Andy Farrell leads us to defeat (again) at 6.

[i"I've no idea what Andy Goodway was thinking about starting with Farrell at stand off and Harris on the bench. It's not for me to comment, but they might play one of their props there next week and I'll be quite happy" Frank Endacott[/i
