But they know nowt

Not only that, the leeds fan I work with reckons Bailey was having a deliberate go and Radford was hard done by. That said I understand most of the leeds fans have excomunicated him for not toeing the party line that Bailey is more worthy of sainthood than Mother Teresa and Princess Di all rolled into a big bundle of fluffyness.

My thoughts exactly which I repeated ad nauseum to anyone who would listen on Saturday night. At least one of those elbows hurt him badly for the red mist to descend to that extent. We all know Lee (THMISL) isn't shy to come forward when necessary but it's usually in a controlled way. Never seen him blindly lose it before. Sure there was already a lump under his eye as he emerged from the scrap - that elbow made a big connection for it to cause immediately visible damage like that.

Hull must appeal - there'll probably be no Leeds game (nor Wire or anyone else) for O'Meley to get a chance to do any ironing if Radford's not there to intimidate Vella next week. Nowt to lose by appealing - literally everything this season to lose if we don't.

Lets face it, if its Leeds - they will get away with all kinds of dubious things both from a playing perspective and as we all know, disciplinary kinds.
Hull will get hammered, always have always will.
The RFL are painted in blue and yellow.

I'm going to e-mail the RFL. Complete waste of time I know but I'm crosser than Nobby right now.

I have to agree ! whispers behind closed doors at red hall!

and revenue from one of the biggest play-off gates this week!

hit a man on the floor. you get whats coming

I hope Hull appeal and Radford gets to play in the derby. Vella didn't manage to do much intimidating at Wrexham and actually dropped the ball at fellow Maltese international Sammut's feet enabling him to run 90 meters to score.
Dobson is like Sammut, sets up and scores a sensational try at one end and then forgets how to tackle and stand and watches the oppenents walk in to score at the other.

The problem is that the RFL have deemed Bailey's elbows to be accidental (taking benefit of the doubt to its furthest extreme, but there you go). Now if you look at what Radford did as unprovoked, then it seems pretty bad. You should still appeal, as they can't increase the penalty much further. While they won't admit to being wrong, they might back down a bit on the punishment and cite his good previous record. Slim chance though as that is your only argument and you've been denied the stronger one of provocation.

It has been confirmed that Hull are indeed appealing.
