Nice to have a change from time to time.

Good, cue Alan Partridge, 'Nobody does it better. oooh bit of bush.'



Speaking of which where was Paul Rauhihi at the disciplinary this week?

Bailey starts the fights then goes hiding. I've only ever seen him stand toe to toe with one player and that was when Sculthorp knocked seven bells out of him.

Peacock also threw the first punch against Manly.

Wire aside, what about the other incidents? I feel we could have kept a lid on it. Displayed control. Even if the opposition are trying to lure us into it, so what?? If they tempted you to jump off a cliff, would you jump? I just think we should avoid jumping into things, clearly marked 'TRAP'. Slug it out if needed, but we are a hell of a rugby side, when we play rugby. That's how you win games. We can knock them about any road, without raising a fist. With our fragile squad at the moment, we need to avoid needless bans. That won't help our situation. Bluey mentioned this last week and I agree.

Pass. I know Brother Louie received a naughty letter that needs his mam's signature. Was he cited personally? Or was it the whole thing?

But you posted your initial post on the Bailey thread, and implied towards Bailey disciplinary. The other incidents were entirely Peacock.

I have watched Bailey many times get done with cheap shots on him and get up and laugh, not taking it further. On Sunday he could not possibly have just stood there and taken it. Then he gets some cowardly cheap shot merchant come from behind and lay into him too. Should he have done nothing there also.

I agree about trying to get away from getting sucked into punch ups.

O shut up you tart. Sculthorpe was the biggest cheap shot merchant that Super League has seen.

I didn't to be fair.

Ryan Bailey, the Neville brothers. Held their own in Championship winning sides, selected week after week after week on form.

Maligned for being .

Either they are the best conmen in the history of mankind, or professional sporting coaches know more than the fans.

I remember Bailey playing for England academy v Australia at Saints in around 2002. It got a bit tasty.

Bailey and Gareth Hock took on the Aussie pack that day (and won) It was the first time the Aussies had ever been beat at that level.

Trust me Bailey and Hock did not go hiding.

BTW England beat them again at Leeds a few days later to take the series
2 - 0.

And you tell me i know nowt about our sport!!

this fight between sculthorpe and bailey gets bigger every time someone mentions it,

crikey, it was the biggest bunch of handbags ever, Sculthorpe swung two punches at bailey then got back in the defensive line, bailey took two punches from sculthorpe, looked at the guy who was behind him, got a bit tangled, then got in the attacking line,

after all of Sculthorpes fights and handiwork, the one that gets mentioned the most is probably the least impressive thing i saw him do on a rugby field

You're a fekkwiitt.
