I watched the game in the pub and missed that incident, something obviously happened as many people have mentioned it.

Bailey is a t*t and always has been and deserves to get a good beating(something which Radford never gave him).

Hmm, Wigan v Leeds, Wire v Saints, FC v KR........

What annoys me is we share the money with the 8,000 attendance that will be Hudds/Crusaders!

I suggest you re watch the incident before commenting on it. Bailey did 'nothing wrong' pull the other one.

It must have been good enough as he cut him open.

I saw the incident between Bailey and Radford.

The punches thrown where pretty laughable, especially if Radford is supposed to be a pretty good boxer. It doesnt take a huge punch to inflict a cut like that, especially around the eyes.

I think some referees are consistent in that they give the benefit of the doubt more often to Leeds and Warrington. ( Is this the Tony Smith factor?!) Bailey should certainly have been punished/sinbinned during the game and he should now be cited to appear befpre the Disciplinary Committee on Tuesday for the incidents with Radford and Long. Just as he should have been cited for his attack/elbow to Riley's face/head in the final play of the Cup Final.

Will he? Doubt it.

The way that certain Leeds players are constantly allowed to show dissent/question the referee's decisions and get away with it is also appalling and should be dealt with.

yet another warning letter winging its way to Mr Bailey's filing cabinet then?

probably so

But Radford should not have done what he did, there is no excuse, not for someone who is supposed to be a leader, role model and future U15's coach.

Late change of Referee.
Loads of dodgy decisions
Unfair sending off
RL get the play off matches they wanted.
Give the News of the World a ring.

Well said and totally factually correct.

I'm convinced of this. I'm also convinced that Leeds came with the intention of getting one of our forwards off asap. I am also convinced of corruption in rugby since Lindop in 1980. However, I am also unreliable in my convictions as I am completely biased. Last night, though, took the biscuit - strange forces at work methinks.

Thought Bentham was supposed to be in the middle last night?

over ruling touchjudge on forward pass for salford in challenge cup game resulting in hull getting knocked out!

awarding crusaders try from clear knock on at wrexham!

over ruling ingoal judge at harlequins when luke dorn clearly knocks on for his try !

not going to screen for westwood double movement at warrington !

draw your own conclusions!

what is the difference

between what lee smith did in the leeds v wigan game kicking out in tackle on player tackled 26/09/08 (see report from rfl website) and ryan bailey striking a player several times with his elbow?

[iIn the Panel’s opinion the Player kicked out and made contact with the face of the Wigan player. The Wigan player was on the ground and was therefore in a defenceless position. The Panel considered that the Player must have known that the Wigan player was there and that therefore there was an element of intent or at the very least recklessness in such contact being made. The Panel was concerned that the Player’s actions had the potential to cause injury and that in lashing out in the manner he did breached his duty to other players.[/i

everybody laughed when burrows swung several punches at Lauaki
in the chall cup game but did he get sent off no, bailey raises kness against wigan ,bailey flops on riley in 80th min cup final with forearm , wheres the consistancy when it comes to leeds?

The fact they get away with it?

The most annoying thing about Leeds is they seem to do one and sometimes two forward passes in every set miles more than any other team and mostly get away with it with the biggest culprits being Buderus and Diskin which lead to a lot of their tries, its as if the refs and touch judges just ignore them.
for me this is one of the reasons they have been champions for the last two years.

also one of Maquire's groundings looked a bit dodgy to me last night, the one Childs gave .
