your bird loves it when i talk rugby

so try put your petty squabbling aside for a minute wilde-robin and give me your views on the Radford situation.do you think that it will benefit them, are you looking forward to the game and where do you see our strengths and weaknesses? and where do you see theirs?

You can't throw insults around and then complain you're being bullied.

Kind of like you can't throw elbows around and complain that you're being punched! (See how I brought it back on track).

both teams will be at full strenth,it is too close too call,i actually think with radford playing it will be in kr's favour he will be too fired up he will lose concentration,kr will be focused.

bailey never threw elbows about.

bookmarked!!!

And Hull KR beat Hull FC twice this year.

See, it's easy to speak b*llocks.

But you're boring me now, and some of us have work to go to tomorrow. I'll make sure I tell your Mum to pack your lunch box for school once you've finished talking to her about rugby (she loves it when you talk to her about rugby apparently).

actually he did ,,, ive watched it numerous times,, as much as i would like to say it was all Radford it wasn,t. intersting theory on him not being focused for the game but i think it will be too big an occassion for him to be worrying about what has happened previously,hopefully Rovers will be giving him much more to think about.

ok cyber bully

This thread is hilarious!

Strange. Fielden gets a ban for what he did, yet Radford doesn't?????

The RL are all F***wits anyway but this decision takes the biscuit.

Not read the rest of the thread but how one player can seemingly get away with serving up a few haymakers and others don’t is beyond me. The RFL have to be one of the most inconsistent disciplinary bodies in sport.

Not particularly bothered whether Radford plays or not, he’s not a player that’s really going to swing the odds and to be honest bailey deserves someone giving him a taste of his own medicine from time to time, but the RFL are a joke with these incidents.

Nonsense. Radford could very well be the difference that ensures Hull win... the inevitable brawl!



On a serious note, I get what you're saying. It's not like thereis much of a difference between Radford and Dowes (who would have replaced him), and neither really strike fear into anyone with their playing ability.

it wasnt a sending off in my opinion we dont want our sport turnings into football do we theres nothing wrong with a bit of a scrap

What did Fielden get a ban for? Not that spat with Mason a couple of weeks ago?

The reason Radford maybe didn't get a ban where Fielden did is because he was sent off? I'd have much rather Lee Radford got a yellow and a one match ban than get sent off in the first 10 minutes but be free to play the next match.

Yep the very same. 1 match ban and £300 fine.

It may have had something to do with the players' previous records:

Since March 2008

Fielden - 16 citings, including a previous 1 game ban & £300 fine

Radford: 5 citings, including his succesful appeal

The original disciplinary also claim that they took into account his previous good record and guilty plea, then hit him with the maximum sentence available for the grade of offence.

The opposite of what they did for Carl Ablett, consistency?

I never claimed they were consistent. As I said earlier, I have long advocated the Aussie tariff system: players then know that their prvious records will automaticaly be taken into account, using a published formula. All offences are graded and the whole system is much more transparent than what we have.

In conversation with Red Hall, the only reason that has been consistently trotted out for not employing it is: "It's not perfect". It may not be but it is a whole lot better than the friggin' lottery we currently suffer under.

After that first elbow Bailey knew exactly where Radfords head was.

Radford shouldn't have reacted how he did and it deserved a sin binning or putting on report but elbows to the back of the head is a much more dangerous act IMO.

Either way Radford has received some sort of punishment and yet again Bailey escapes it.

That's ridiculous. Maybe we are turning soft.

Indeed - but there's a scrap, and then there is throwing punches while a player's on the floor trying to get up.

Silly Radford.

Radford mentioned,whoosh,in you come like a rat up a drainpipe.Its like night following day.

He's right though
