This

Just watched it back this afternoon and he definitely put his head down to hurt Sinny, he had the option of pulling out of the charge down as the ball had clearly gone, or could have put his hands up to cushion the collision but chose to hit him with the hardest part of his head into the side of Sinnys.......totally meant for me an Australian tactic of taking out the person who's doing the damage

He may have been saying Bow Wow

He couldn't avoid hitting Sinfield, it was the way he dipped the head and lunged it towards Sinfield that was totally out of the norm for a typical chargedown.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone lead with the head into a kicker like that. It was definitely reckless IMO, and should have been penalised. Had he done serious damage to Sinfield (that could quite easily have broken his jaw or cheekbone) the reactions would be very different.

Top player and certainly not malicious ,he was committed to the tackle and momentum took him through Sinfield ........Didnt stop Sinfield putting in a great performance for Leeds well done from a Wire

Looked like a pub fight in Motherwell.

Sinfield shouldn't have headbutted Monaghan. Quite disgraceful tbh

Can't remember many kicks in the game where the kicker (on both sides) didn't end up on their backside ..... Silverwood always turns to watch the ball and hasn't seen (or penalised) a hit on a kicker in years .... and woe-betide any TJ that flags for anything these days ....... If Thaler had been reffing however, we'd still be there now ...... as he's never seen a ball land he's so busy looking for infringements in back play. Different refs have different ideas on reffing at kicks.... sadly neither trust their TJ's.

I'm with most on this; saw it live, then on big screen, and twice since on tv - MM mistimed the tackle on the kicker badly .... as did Ablett at least twice, and same, not even a hint of a penalty - but you don't deliberately lead with your own head if you wanted to inflict damage, you'd use your shoulder/forearm; .... 9/10 you'll split yer own nut in the process and be off getting stitched anyway.

Classic Bailey

Do you think even Bailey's team mates think he is a bit of a cock too???.....



I must admit, as a comedy figure and a wind up merchant, he's up there with the best and I presume that has to be his role in the team, because as a player he is very average?

Give him his due, he's got the medals/rings to wave in front of his detractors, but as there ever been such a mediocre player so highly decorated, not just in RL, but sport in general?

Ryan Bailey makes me laugh.
I really used to dislike him, but honestly, I now enjoy watching him play. Such a wind up merchant



When he plays us though I always hope he's in one of his penalty moods!
