Right, from what I could see of the incident (on TV, as I was at work and so had to record the game and have just finished watching it), Bailey was niggling Lauaki in the tackle and gave him a shove, Lauaki returned the push as Bailey was moving into defensive position, Burrow then decides to start having it out with Lauaki and 'defending' Bailey, so Lauaki gives him a cheeky slap on the cheek to tell him to think it through, then Burrow goes all for it, as Lauaki just keeps him at arm's length. Then everyone comes in, Senior, infact was laughing, then as they're being broken up Senior plants a cheap shot on the back of Lauaki's head.
Even though Burrow was 'standing up' for Bailey (no pun intended), Bailey stayed well away. I'm not sure whether to criticise him for starting something, then hiding away and letting the smallest player in the field sort it all, or whether I should support him in that he kept his head and didn't lose it, setting a good example.

Burrow presumably got the sin-bin for the fact that he got quite involved even though he wasn't in the initial incident.

The camara was in a good position for it, too.

nobody can say why luaki punched burrow first yet got away with it. he always looked for the little man. webb and burrow were his targets. he also threw cheap shots in the tackle. hard man? not in a million years, he's not even a good player

Bailey is a bully and a coward. Only your blinkered Rhino eyes cannot see this. Everyone else in the rugby league world can.

Right... bully...

Bullies usually pick on those too feeble to stand up for themselves. Who has Bailey bullied?

there are no cowards on a rl field. only cowards are the keyboard warriors like you

That sounds a reasonably description of the incident up to the part where Senior throws a left. It wasn't a cheap shot, it was as a result of a punch from Lauaki aimed at Burrow.

Yeah......I'm an FC season ticket holder. Consider your bonfire thoroughly p[ii[/issed on.




From what I could see Lauaki did the silly slap on Burrow, then just held him off in disbelief. I don't remember the punch being thrown by Lauaki.....oh, come to think of it now, he did get a little rougher when everyone piled in to break it up. Is that when you're on about? (if so, fair enough, I forgot about that).

What, you need a list or something? You really are blinkered.

Yet ended up in the pack that dominated yours. Maybe the your pack ought to start trying to play rugby other than strutting their stuff and getting their s handed to them. If you had a pack full of Manus then you would be dangerous. He is the only one with talent and temperment.

Yes please.

I think you're selling Fitzgibbon, for one, short with that comment.

Why he did not stand out, and as for cheap shot merchant he has got to be very high on the list throughout his career.

We're on the same page now.
