Ryan Bailey banned for four games and fined £300 by RFL Disciplinary, will be back available to play for derby clash with Bradford

But he's never been sent off ..... except those times when he has.

How many times has he been sent off?

Twice?

This is more disturbing from this Wigan fan



The reply is better

Isn't this his second red card?

He's been treated harshly, IMO. Maybe not if you look at his transgressions in isolation but if you look at what wasn't picked up in the same match from the Catalan players. That said, has Bailey paid the price for his coaches post match outburst?

Still, more fuel for the fire when the playoffs come around.

At least the coach has now been given answers to the questions (?) he was posing last season.

4 games seems a little harsh. As people above state particulary when incidents in the same match go un punished. The head smash on sinny was IMO bad and deserved dealing with

2 matches on top of a sending off for the shoulder charge seems strong, but the first half head shot didn't look too clever. No real complaints. The squad can cope and he'll just get a bit of structured training time.

That's a fair old punishment that. Wonder what Brian Mc thinks of HADPATBHG. Inside he must be fuming as he's a dangerous player when he wants to be with ball and in defence. It just seems he has too many brain farts and he looses his head.

Agreed four games seems excessive when you take into account the sending off, however at least the RFL is showing some consistency in banning players for late tackles (although Ryan's wasnt in the same league as the one on Salords Fages)

To be fair to TMFMISL, he is a player who normally gets the balance of aggression and control right, for whatever reason he didnt on monday, but I certainly wouldnt want to get rid of that facet of his game, as he is less prone to brain farts than other players who have filled his role over the years.

seems a little harsh to suspend ryan bailey for doing what he always does (late cheap shots on half backs) why didn"t he use his "i play for leeds so i am immune from suspension " card and accept his £300 fine

Bye bye

Grow up you moron.

Silly silly man

Big? Or just fat?

There could be a chant in there somewhere.........

PG13?

Fantastic insight from a man who should know.



I've been saying this for years and I genuinely believe it's deep rooted racism. Everyone loves or respects tough guy enforcers like JP, Morley, Barrie Mac 9all of whom were far more thuggish than Bailey on the pitch) but that uppity Bailey should know his place!

Completely agree.

Also, an interesting comment from Barrie bout the GF when 3 or 4 Warrington players were after Bailey while Warrington were attacking - they had opened Leeds up and player with the ball looked for someone to pass to, but there was nobody there - they were all squaring up to Bailey at the other end of the pitch. He effectively took out 3 or 4 attackers - classic.

Is Bailey "a tough guy enforcer"? I don't think he is. He gets under the skin of some opponents and supporters but this isn't from out and out violent play if it was his disciplinery record would be far worse, despite what fans think the officials aren't blind. If he was more overtly violent and tough then perhaps he'd actually get more respect from fans?

Does he play hard but usually fair? His record suggests so, there may be plenty of sly digs and verbals in that career but nothing major. I think the problem here is his general manner that people object to. There have been far dirtier black players that have got less stick than Ryan Bailey - Sonny Nickle for one. I think Bailey's main asset is his ability to put opponents off their game simply by being himself.

Is it racism? Unconcious or overt? It may be in some cases but I don't think you can tar all people that dislike Bailey with that brush.

Personally I think the attention he gets is way OTT.

To have him sat in the stand more? No thanks.

You think too much.
