Fair point!

reckon there could be a ban?

No idea but its Bailey and the RFL disciplinary system (if it can be called that) pot luck i guess plus there's the old routine of very very few bans before a Final or Semi etc etc.

just seen the bailey incident, theres nothing in it at all, laughable that its been put on report.

Hopefully burrow and bailey both make it. Not sure you can read much into Warrington getting beat they have been very impressive this season. I think it will be very close. Hopefully sinfield has his kicking boots on not the best record at wembley

Perhaps but that didn't prevent Ablett copping a ban for a similar looking 'crusher' tackle at Hull KR last season : www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2518 and the ban remained after an appeal was lodged : www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2541 Unfortunate for Bailey if he has to miss the Final but I'm sure we all want to see consistency coming out of the RFL Disciplinary hearings.

Well it hasn't happened on 'ref pushing'.

its becoming a joke. it is not touch and pass. youve got to go in 100% in this game, for me the deliberate head high tackle on ryan hall for his try is more dangerous, no intention of stopping the player legally

I guess we'll have to wait for another incident of a player taking an opportunity to push a referee in a similar situation and manner to that seemingly used by Bailey on Silverwood.

My view was and still is that there is a place in the game for accidental collisions with officials but not deliberate contact.

__________

If the Bailey crusher tackle is viewed in the same light as Ablett's at Craven Park from last season I can't see how he could escape a similar ban. (Except of course this is Challenge Cup final week and it's extremely rare for a likely participant to pick up a ban for Wembley.)

Bails no charge of course.

Of course. As it's Wembley Week it was never going to go any further even [size'if'[/size it merited sanction via the disciplinary.

Or maybe the unpenalised 'incident' was a whole 'nothing to see here'.

Is that confirmed BB?
The reason i ask is when watching SL full-time John Kear said he should be pretty worried but i've seen much worse go unpunished.

It's confirmed on the sporting life website : www.sportinglife.com/rugby-leagu ... iley-boost _________ Hence the if. Only seen it the once while half asleep so not in any position to comment on the actual incident which is why I'm refrained from doing so. His push on Silverwood however....
