Im not a fan of Bailey but 3 games for what he did is ridiculous.

i agree with this, i cannot even remember the incident, but from what i have read on here, there was no malicious intent. i am no bailey fan, but it does seem harsh compared to the high tackles etc we have seen in recent weeks recieveing 1 match bans.

slightly o/t but i would have liked to know what was said to the ref (ganson i think) at the hull kr game. you could here ganson say "are you talking to me" and repeating it a few times!!

It is a part of the game to tackle and sometimes it gets out of hand.

There is no part of the game that involves contact with the referee so is clearly a disciplinary issue.
3 games is a deterrent from people doing it again and it stops us descending to the footballer antics.

I fully support the ban.

I don't, it sends out a strong message to all players at every level.

Ban overturned on appeal and Ganson fined and suspended for three weeks for "getting in the way of the mighty Rhinos"

quite right. there is no place for this in the game. referees deserve the utmost respect whether we think they're good at their job or not. the panel have looked at the incident, and made their call. leeds are not protesting.

personally i think he should have got longer. this should never happen. i'd also like to see a clamp down on mouthing to the officials, be it from the captain or not. it's poor and it's something that has been creeping in to the game for a few years.

Quite right - it's been going on for a few seasons now and seems to be more prevalent at clubs who are, or peceive themselves to be, 'big' clubs - watch Bailey, Briers, Sinfield, Webb, Brown, Finch, Tomkins, Wilkin etc for examples - they're constantly chebbing at the ref or the touchy, waving their arms around to appeal for decision and pulling faces when they're spoken to or don't get a decision. It used to be called dissent - now it just seems to be accepted behaviour.

Tough......makes up for all the cheap shots he's got away with in the past.can't stand the man .

Referee respect from players is being eroded and it should be clamped down on, the Refs need to dish out more cards and the RFL need to back them to the hilt.

A 3 game ban is absolutely ridiculous no matter what anyone says. The contact was made due to Silverwood being in front of the defensive line, and if anyone can believe that the 'contact' made was worthy of a disciplinary, their a tad disillusioned.

Correct decision. Nip it in the bud straight away.
