maybe so but if we had mason,griffin or fa'alogo on the pitch they would have been running in as hard and fast as he was because im sure they wouldnt have liked bailey picking up our captain then having a swing at him.

but ohwell its over and we spanked leeds which is a good thing

Leeds know all about him, didn't he give Peacock a good hiding a couple of years back.

Yeah no doubt

Cant get my head around how brown has been fined they are clueless up there

didn't punch first but shoved at bailey before bailey swung a punch. IMO.

Well, if anyone's interested, search for "Ryan Bailey And Luke O Donnell Sent Off After Brawl During Leeds Rhinos vs Huddersfield Giants HD" on the usual site.

Bailey comes in with his usual thug cheapshot on Brown. Brown is down (possibly milking it a bit), Bailey picks him up, Brown pushes and Bailey starts swinging, including the typical punch from behind a team-mate.

How or why O'Donnell is sent off is anyone's guess. How or why Brown is fined is anyone's guess.

And how Leuluai isn't at least binned for his shot on Brown a minute earlier is also anyone's guess. You can see the elbow and hear the slap - I don't think he milked that one.

Because it was about a second late. These things happen.

Bailey picked Kev Brown up like he hadnt even touched him when it fairness he had put a big shot in on Brown which resulted in him losing the ball.

Then Brown shoved Bailey (wrong I know but it wasnt exactly an aggresive shove) Bailey then punched Brown twice and then stood back whilst the rest of his team mates and the Giants were throwing handbags around... it was only when O'Donnell actually found Bailey did he actually get involved.

Okay, O'Donnell shouldnt go round punching Ryan Bailey (well he should

but its not allowed

) but if Bailey persists every week on trying to rough up the smaller players, its only fair when the likes of Radford and ODonnell go in hunt of him instead and see how he likes it back - Just like what kicked off our comeback at Headingly a few week back, 4 off our players putting a massive hit on him straight from kick off.

No, the swinging right arm/shoulder to the head as Brown is going down. Can't see that, I assume?


Oh right, pushing past Rob Burrow and getting punched is a sending off offence?




Exactly. It was late (which is illegal, in case you're not sure), malicious and high - the elbow is certainly up.

I cant, because you have made it up. Swinging shoulder is a new one though. Ryan Bailey must be the only human in the world to be able to make an illegal swinging shoulder tackle. God Alone knows how you swing your shoulders. He is also probably the only one who knows how to do it illegally as well.

He had no need to do it. He escalated the situation. He went for Bailey, Bailey got his off first. Whats the big deal.


It was illegal, thats why he got a penalty. The elbow was up? what are you on? he pushes him in the back.
