Nice post, would make more sense if he hadn't already won it though

And regarding your other posts, i'm not sure that anyone outside of small towns full of insecure & backward inbreds has used the word "bent" to refer to a homosexual this millenium but keep going, you're not coming across as an insecure & backward inbred one bit. Honest.

I realise that you win most arguments by default, largely due to attrition, and I'm not up for a long-winded quote-fest, but you've rather missed the point. There is no suggestion that RA called JC 'bent' in the press conference - he told me that he'd used the word during a post-match confrontation with JC in the tunnel and that JC included it in his match report, hence the severity of the punishment, which I believe was a record at the time.

It makes little difference now and FWIW, I don't see that it has any bearing on who wins MoS, but it's worthy of comment.

I really wish I'd never stepped foot into this thread.

I suggest you go back and watch the video again, Peacocks foul and abusive attack on the referee is there to see so not exactly just in my head is it. You're obviously in the grip of some kind of man crush where Peacocks concerned!

Listing all the achievements he's amassed in his great career doesn't change the fact that this season he's ruined his record and blotted his character by verbally abusing a gay match official and rather stupidly using a word which is offensive to the Gay community. For that reason he's not fit to win it thus year or any other year hereafter.

Did he verbally abuse James Child during the match against Warrington and did he use the word bent?

Simple yes or no will suffice and then we'll know where we are.

Yet it wasnt mentioned by any one at any time? With all releases and comments on sticking strictly to the press conference, nobody at all mentioning the referee's report nevermind what Agar is alleged to have said?

Agar's fine was not much more than Morgan's mentioned in the article.

I ask, what would be the point of the RFL punishing Agar for that, then keeping it secret and pretending they were punishing him for something else?

The simple answer is no, not according to James Child. Who didnt mention any homophobic insult in his report from JP, though he did from Hardaker.

Or perhaps he did but only in the secret way he did with Agar? Nobody knows what happens James Child secret RFL homophobia court.

You are the only person who seems to have decided he meant a homophobic slur, rather than the far more common use of 'bent' as a synonym for 'dodgy', in fact its use as a homophobic insult is so rare these days, it doesnt even appear in the oxford dictionary (unlike of course the meaning we all knew JP meant)

Either way, its good to see JP getting the Wakefield fans all annoyed. Why dont you get a petition going? Surely you guys need a new thing to get under your skin now you cant

It was a simple question Smokey, here let me ask again to make it easy for you!

Did he verbally abuse James Child during the match against Warrington and did he use the word bent?

As before a simple yes or no will suffice and then we'll know where we are.

And i gave you a simple answer. No, not according to James Child.

Im not sure how much simpler it can be for you, James Child does not think that JP verbally abused him. James Child did not think his use of the word bent was a homophobic insult (like everyone else)

You say a simple yes or no will suffice, yet no didnt suffice. You're very strange, like a very boring jester.

You certainly did and the fact you're so up in arms over someone saying the word BENT when to 99.9% of us it means something totally different to what you're insinuating says a lot more about your own character than anyone elses.

Keep going though, it's entertaining to read your faux outrage and there's not much on the tele.

Based in what I've seen Peacock, Clarke and Walsh are good bets SO FAR.
SOL at Wigan will probably be in the top 3 come the end regardless of how many games he plays.

As a Giants fan if I had to put one of my teams players in I would probably go with Joe Wardle. He's troubled a few teams this year in attack and defence.

So now we have a situation in The Avenger's head where Richard Agar was secretly tried and punished by the RFL for using the word bent to James Child included a refs report that nobody reported on, and JP not being punished for using the word bent to James Child included in a refs report that has been publicly reported as including a homophobic insult by another player, but not Peacock's, who hasnt been secretly tried and punished by the RFL.

That sounds a realistic state of affairs.

I've been pretty consistent throughout.
My point is that this year Jamie Peacock is behind a couple of other players on performance.
Also, in my opinion, he has ruled himself out of being worthy of receiving the award (this year) because of his foulmouthed tirade at a match official which was caught on video and seen live on national television. Added to that the unedifying sight of a 36-year-old ex Great Britain captain raining punches on a man half his size and half his age.

For holding that opinion I have since been plagued by the usual suspects from the Leeds mob who just won't hear anything negative said about one of the Rhinos players.

Clark looks likely for YPOY if he carries on as he is. Hardaker would have been up there if not for his moment of idiocy as he has had a storming start to the year.

S'OL has been great as well but you can't win MoS playing half a season in my opinion. Needs to be on the field more
