Didn't saints get penalised?
Blown way out of proportion.
He never gets away with anything. He got a three match ban for caressing an old friend once.

Should of got at least 1 match for the grapple then the head slam that followed.
Hooper's late hit's could never be blown out of proportion just ask brandon costin and terry newton who both injured player's with late hit's but because no-one was seriousley injured when hooper did it he got away with it which imo doesn't make it right.
As for pryce what happened when he did it again??
Answer the rfl bottled it and blamed some obscure camera angle for him not getting banned.
P.s I agree the rfl disciplinary system is a joke but you saying "we got away with one for once" is just as big a joke!!

I don't recall any mention of racism



Leeds are to good of a team to have to resort to a 'player' of the likes of Bailey.
He does not do the profile of Rugby League any good at all.

The racist comments are a bit OTT IMO.

And what good does 2 player's betting on their own team to lose do for the image of our great game????

In what way?

Cut him a bit of slack, not all players can live up to the high standards of Leon Pryce.

This opinion of yours does not do the profile of Rugby League fans any good. You make us look like we all eat lard and chew our shoes.

Your post shows an I.Q. equivalent to a pigeon......after road-kill.

Aye, he should stick to kicking down the doors of single women and threatening them with violence instead...

Brandon Costin seriously injured Sean Long, but it wasn't particulary late, and not many Saints speccies held it against him.
Hooper's challanges were borderline and although he was penalised (debate raged as to whether or not he'd have been pinged in the NRL) he always tended to attack the main body of the kickers as opposed to the vunerable extremities. When it became clear the refs had tighened up on this ruling, he changed his style to attack the ball in a unionesque manner.
Terry Newton (if its the Long incident you're talking about) elbowed a guy in the face after he'd passed the ball.

he doesn't enhance it like, say Nickle, or Matautia

It was still a late hit and if the rfl had stamped this out earlier then the injuries could of been avoided and hooper was high and late on more than 1 occasion so let's not try and disguise that!!
