So you think that referees will now target the Huddersfield players just because of what Nathan Brown said?

Yea..... I think the referees will be coming into tackles late and delivering a few decent forearm smashes.

I'm trying to imagine Thierry Alibert sticking a high cheap forearm smash into Adrian Morleys face. Whilst I wish he would do it somehow I cant see it happening.

Alibert did it to myler last season against Harlequins when he was clean through.... So i wouldn't rule it out.

anyway its Huddersfield players that will be getting 'done'.

Having watched those highlights again, Bailey actually punches brown in the tackle too, which is why he was down to start with.

Bailey then picks him up by the scruff of his neck and starts punching him again.

3-4 matches is in order. He'll get off Scott free.

I apologise up front for being annoying but I have to point that there is a very different connotation to getting off scot-free and getting off Scott free

Brown pushes him first so Baileys reaction is obviously to try and knock him out. That brawl is quite phenomenal though.

Classy.

brown had been targeted by high tackles/off the ball stuff throughout by bailey,and leuluai in particular,bailey then takes him to ground, grabs him by the collar and pulls him up,whats brown supposed to do just stand there and let him do it? bailey then punches brown,not in self defence but as the agressor, he then lands on on o'donnell,again as the agressor.
like i said on the leeds board im all for a bit of biff and if you give it out you should take it, but brown didn't give anything out he was smacked by bailey then reacted.

Brown was well aware of what was happening. He was no angel, and no innocent party.

im not saying anyone was innocent but i dont think any player expects to get pulled up by his shirt collar then lamped,but like i said perfectly acceptable if its a leeds player doing it.
had one of our players done it then i dont think many would be condoning it and trying to blame the opposition player but leeds fans are different in that respect

is this on youtube? the highlights i saw on sky didnt show anything much of the interesting stuff.

he doesnt get pulled up and lamped. However many times you repeat it, it wont ever be true.

He is pulled up, Brown gobs off, pushes Bailey, gets punched, punches back.

Bailey then stands away from the trouble, no threat to anyone, O'donnell runs towards Bailey, and Bailey gets his punch in first.

There is no condoning anything, it is what it is, a bit of biff. Im not sure why Hudds fans seem so intent on making it a bigger deal.

Having now watched it, and not being a supporter of either team. Its manifestly obvious that bailey comes flying in with a swinging arm to the face, when brown is clearly held. there is no real need for him to fly in there at all and certainly no excuse for him clearly aiming to take browns head off in the process.
secondly, whats he doing dragging brown up by the collar? of course brown will be a bit miffed by having his head taken off then having this douche bag getting in his face afterwards. so brown understandably pushes him away, then Bailey clearly throws the first punch, which is completely unjustified no matter how many times leeds fans try to justify it, then steps back and hides, ooohhhhhh deeeeed 'ard you mate.
he then also clearly throws the first punch at O'donnel. Yes O'Donnel shouldnt be charging in, but O'donnels hands are not even raised when he reaches Bailey, the thug just goes for O'Donnel. no excuses for any of it. simples.

Would you balls

Would you like me to get in touch with Bailey through Rhinos so we can arrange this meeting?
