Nice post, would make more sense if he hadn't already won it though
And regarding your other posts, i'm not sure that anyone outside of small towns full of insecure & backward inbreds has used the word "bent" to refer to a homosexual this millenium but keep going, you're not coming across as an insecure & backward inbred one bit. Honest.

| Quote ="SmokeyTA"Erm, in what way was it viewed as a homophobic insult. There is nothing within that that mentions the word 'bent' he wasnt suspended, he was fined. He wasnt charged with making a homophobic insult, he was charged with the offence he was punished for which was nothing to do with a homophobic insult.
So what we are apparently supposed to believe is that Richard Agar said, in an interview, James Child's performance was 100% the reason Hull lost, that his performance was "just disgraceful" and "completely ruining the game as a spectacle", but he also in the same interview said that Child was 'bent'. The RFL then secretly investigated him for for calling him 'bent', secretly punished him for it, whilst publicly investigating him for saying Childs performance was 100% the reason Hull lost, that his performance was "just disgraceful" and "completely ruining the game as a spectacle" and publicly punishing him for it, his punishment being in line with those levied against coaches for similar outbursts. But nobody at any stage reported the Agar calling Child 'Bent', nobody reported the RFL investigating it, nobody reported the RFL charging him for it, and nobody reported him being punished for it.
And it's JP's outbust being brushed under the carpet?'"
I realise that you win most arguments by default, largely due to attrition, and I'm not up for a long-winded quote-fest, but you've rather missed the point. There is no suggestion that RA called JC 'bent' in the press conference - he told me that he'd used the word during a post-match confrontation with JC in the tunnel and that JC included it in his match report, hence the severity of the punishment, which I believe was a record at the time.
It makes little difference now and FWIW, I don't see that it has any bearing on who wins MoS, but it's worthy of comment.

I suggest you go back and watch the video again, Peacocks foul and abusive attack on the referee is there to see so not exactly just in my head is it. You're obviously in the grip of some kind of man crush where Peacocks concerned!
Listing all the achievements he's amassed in his great career doesn't change the fact that this season he's ruined his record and blotted his character by verbally abusing a gay match official and rather stupidly using a word which is offensive to the Gay community. For that reason he's not fit to win it thus year or any other year hereafter.
Did he verbally abuse James Child during the match against Warrington and did he use the word bent?
Simple yes or no will suffice and then we'll know where we are.

Yet it wasnt mentioned by any one at any time? With all releases and comments on sticking strictly to the press conference, nobody at all mentioning the referee's report nevermind what Agar is alleged to have said?
Agar's fine was not much more than Morgan's mentioned in the article.
I ask, what would be the point of the RFL punishing Agar for that, then keeping it secret and pretending they were punishing him for something else?

The simple answer is no, not according to James Child. Who didnt mention any homophobic insult in his report from JP, though he did from Hardaker.
Or perhaps he did but only in the secret way he did with Agar? Nobody knows what happens James Child secret RFL homophobia court.
You are the only person who seems to have decided he meant a homophobic slur, rather than the far more common use of 'bent' as a synonym for 'dodgy', in fact its use as a homophobic insult is so rare these days, it doesnt even appear in the oxford dictionary (unlike of course the meaning we all knew JP meant)
Either way, its good to see JP getting the Wakefield fans all annoyed. Why dont you get a petition going? Surely you guys need a new thing to get under your skin now you cant

It was a simple question Smokey, here let me ask again to make it easy for you!
Did he verbally abuse James Child during the match against Warrington and did he use the word bent?
As before a simple yes or no will suffice and then we'll know where we are.

And i gave you a simple answer. No, not according to James Child.
Im not sure how much simpler it can be for you, James Child does not think that JP verbally abused him. James Child did not think his use of the word bent was a homophobic insult (like everyone else)
You say a simple yes or no will suffice, yet no didnt suffice. You're very strange, like a very boring jester. ![CRAZY d040.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//d040.gif)

You certainly did and the fact you're so up in arms over someone saying the word BENT when to 99.9% of us it means something totally different to what you're insinuating says a lot more about your own character than anyone elses.
Keep going though, it's entertaining to read your faux outrage and there's not much on the tele.

Except you didn't just say no, you came out with a load of guesswork about what Child and Peacock might have thought.
So you're ignoring the evidence of your own eyes when watching the video and hiding behind what you think might have or have not been in the refs report.
Thanks
No point arguing any further!

| Based in what I've seen Peacock, Clarke and Walsh are good bets SO FAR.
SOL at Wigan will probably be in the top 3 come the end regardless of how many games he plays.
As a Giants fan if I had to put one of my teams players in I would probably go with Joe Wardle. He's troubled a few teams this year in attack and defence.

I've been pretty consistent throughout.
My point is that this year Jamie Peacock is behind a couple of other players on performance.
Also, in my opinion, he has ruled himself out of being worthy of receiving the award (this year) because of his foulmouthed tirade at a match official which was caught on video and seen live on national television. Added to that the unedifying sight of a 36-year-old ex Great Britain captain raining punches on a man half his size and half his age.
For holding that opinion I have since been plagued by the usual suspects from the Leeds mob who just won't hear anything negative said about one of the Rhinos players.

Clark looks likely for YPOY if he carries on as he is. Hardaker would have been up there if not for his moment of idiocy as he has had a storming start to the year.
S'OL has been great as well but you can't win MoS playing half a season in my opinion. Needs to be on the field more

So now we have a situation in The Avenger's head where Richard Agar was secretly tried and punished by the RFL for using the word bent to James Child included a refs report that nobody reported on, and JP not being punished for using the word bent to James Child included in a refs report that has been publicly reported as including a homophobic insult by another player, but not Peacock's, who hasnt been secretly tried and punished by the RFL.
That sounds a realistic state of affairs.
'"
Now you're just being pathetic!
Watch the video, then be honest for once in your life.
Peacock clearly calls the ref a "f*#k!^g bent C+^t"
That's a foul mouthed attack on the referee, whether he meant the word 'bent' as a homophobic insult only JP knows Even if he didn't, for a so called intelligent man he was stupid to use that word when having a go at an openly Gay match official.
The next point is why has he not been punished for the offence which was broadcast live on National TV and then spread all over Twitter and Facebook alongside Hardakers homophobic outburst.
Whether or not you choose to believe what Bren2K and I were told by Richard Agar is totally down to you but just because you didn't know doesn't mean it never happened, I have no reason to believe why Richard Agar would lie.
I'm not too bothered whether you want to respond or not as you've already shown that you can't be honest.

I dont believe you about Agar. It is clearly unsubstantiated nonsense which goes against all available evidence.
James Child didnt think it was meant in that way, it is very rare for the word to be used in that way. That is an incident and problem though up entirely in your head. Thats the reason he hasnt been punished for it.
I've toyed with you enough now, but it has been funny watching you get further and further in to your own rabbit hole of nonsense. I dont care if Peacock called Child a bent cu4t, it wasnt a homophobic or racist or anything like that, Child is a big boy, who cared that much he made no mention of it since. A pretty meaningless insult will be water off his back, he will be ok. Even if you arent. ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

Oh give it a rest, that's even more desperate than your "bent" tirade. The Leigh player was big enough and old enough to be on the pitch throwing sly shots and head butting players so he's big enough and old enough to take a battering for doing so. From what McDermott said last week there was a lot more going on in the build up to that too.

Far from it, once charged I had no argument with Hardaker's ban and Ablett's 2 weeks off. I really don't see why anyone should be banned for reacting to dirty ***** like that though whether they play for Leeds, Saints or Doncaster, guy deserved all he got.

| Oddly anough I was listening to Bill Harrigan last night, and he said he'd automatically send off any player who accused him of cheating - he could handle abuse, particularly after a controversial decision, but that was his line in the sand (and why he sent off Tallis in Origin for just that offence). He also reckoned more refs should sinbin players for OTT abuse than they do, as this would stop it.
Have to say I tend to agree with him - if Peacock called Child a 'bent so and so' I'd have no problem with binning him, not for being homophobic (bent and bender really are something from the 70s as far as homophobic slurs go) but for questioning impartiality.
