As if we did'nt already know, Sts and Leeds players don't get on!

I'm shocked and appalled




Ryan Bailey, biggest bottler in SL?

18-12 seems an appropriate score!

Cant handle the big tackles, and when he is tackled all he does is fights - he is just a thug

He was funny to watch tonight. He's a right puff for his size, the other week he punched Rauhihi and ran off. Can't believe he didn't get binned for it.

OK on the main point, I think that's an understatement



On the 2nd one about Bailey... Now im not his biggest fan but I have just rewatched the game and what exactly did he do wrong? 1 occasion he was driven back. The rest of the time he found his front and made just as many yards as the other Leeds props. The big hit on Fasavalu was legal and his tackle on the floor was OK IMO. As Cullen said, it was given to difuse the situation. He also called Graham a fat C*** to his face and didnt back off and never started a fight, if anything it was his reputation that did him tonight.


Well played anyway Ryan. I hope you have more like that for the rest of the season.

This is closer to the truth than you think.

That's pretty much how I saw it. He hit hard, ran well and certainly didn't back down to anyone. I saw nothing wrong with his hit on Mary and the drop on the floor. The argument with Ginger Tossa was class and he didn't back off.

I think it's just easier to call him a bottler, etc. Trying to look as innocent and confused as possible when he smashes someone probably doesn't help.

He played well tonight.

hes there for one reason to wind up andget in there faces. not much skill just a annoying b d

In what way? he even ran 20 yr across the pitch just to run at Graham. Ryan might not be everyone's cup of tea but I would never describe him as a bottler. The hit on Mary was worth the adim money alone.

Wes I know the truth and have done since during the World Cup not after it.

On Ryan Bailey, I agree that his tackle on Fas was legal and props to him for making that hit. His tackle on Wilkin was also legal but was a little cheap.

It's the other stuff he does like wragging players shirts off, rushing in third man, his hit n run tactic etc..
He'd be a better player if he cut it out and just concentrated on playing the game tough but clean instead of being a grub.

you mean like graham did on bailey last night?

the one where they squared up and anderson ran 20 yards to hit him from behind

Did Bailey only take about 4 drives in after getting driven back in the tackle after laying Fas out? Spent most of time hiding in the centres

He was standing behind the ref at the time though

didn't see graham trying to get at him.well, not until his back was turned and he was held anyway

Watch it again he wasn't, he also ran sideways to find Graham to run at whereas the only time all mouth Graham ran at him was while he was being held by 2 Saints players. I know who looked the coward to me.

bailey also told cunningham where to go....picked up loud and clear by the pitchside sky mic's

the only bit that was accurate in that statement was the player's name.

If that's true he should be beheaded. Ryan Bailey shouldn't be allowed to speak in the King's presence.

About 4 drives and 20 dummy runs.

thats actually good tactics given that bailey had saints players hunting him increasing the chance that there could be gaps in the saints line..

Why would anyone hunt Bailey unless it's to hurt him.
