Thoughts?

i'm very happy about it

I am also very happy about it



Glad the RFL watched the incident and realised Bailey elbowed Radders several times in the head, admittedly Radders may have gone a bit OT but he was punished with a red card (which imo cost us the game), Bailey is one dirty player and deserves all he gets

It does seem strange that the original tribunal saw no provocation and despite "taking into account" Radford's previous good character and guilty plea, then decided to apply the maximum sentence available for the offence.

Just what was taken into account?

I have said on numerous occasions: the sooner we adopt a system similar to the NRL judiciary, the better for all concerned. At the moment it is still a lottery and little different to the old "smoke-filled room"

Bloody RFL, in Hull's pocket as usual.

Seriously, a fair outcome as far as I'm concerned. My guess is that Radford was under the impression he was being punched and reacted accordingly.

Hull kingston rovers will be very scared



he is supposed too be a hard man haha ?? watch out when your on the floor and defensless

If someone elbowed me in the face i would give them a crack not that i'm a violent person, but if some cowardly thugs gonna try a cheap shot on you they deserve all they get.

The Donkey playing this weekend will have no barring on the game cause he's fecking poo



GOOD LUCK HULL KR

We aren't talking about Ben Cockayne here...

No we aren't, we are talking about a SL player who punched a fellow player 4 times while he was on the floor, unable to defend himself, we either condone thuggery on the field or we don't lets just make our minds up.

It wasn't thuggery. It was a bit of biff.

Good to see common sense prevail.

Provoked by Bailey's act of thuggish tactics. Clearly the RFL agree, hence the ban removed.

Now, when we're talking about thugs in this next game, I don't think Lee Radford will be the focus, do you?

He connected once.

Probably a good job, given that the one punch landed split Bailey's head like a melon

Serious question. If Cockayne were to throw a few elbows at Radford, would he be justified in ripping his head off as well?

I like a bit of biff in a game, which is then roundly condemned by the 'intellectual elite' on here, the difference is I like a bit of biff when they stand toe to toe and slug it out, I have never liked the type of thuggery that Radford dished out, the player on the deck did what every player does when being prevented from getting up, they flail about to get free, if the defender cops one in the head, so be it, if he then punches a defenseless opponent FOUR times (which would have been more had he not been pulled away), he deserves to walk IMO.

Lets see what Radford does next time he is prevented from getting up from the tackle, I bet it isn't laying still until the opponent get off him.

no were not!! we are talking about a coward who can only attack a defencless man while he is imobalised.

dont u worry about radford or the derby, think u need to worry about warrington

so that still would be cockstayne then!

When was Bailey immobilised? No one stopped him moving, did they? He wasn't unconscious?

You must think we're still talking about Ben Cockayne.

At least we've stopped arguing with Leeds fans

who you talking about??? i am talking about a coward who attacks men while they are down!!

I also bet it isn't elbow opponent four times in the back of the head.

Serious question though, does anyone think Radford might have been under the impression he was being punched? He couldn't see what was happening. He just felt 4 massive thuds to his head, and since he's got a bit of a meaty bonce it must have been hard!

Go on the popular video site....you will see some-one being attacked whilst they are being held down, he is called Cockayanec020.gif

Would you think it would be worse or better if he had kicked him in the head as well?

he was down and was open too attack!! with no hope of defending him self,he had hold of a rugby ball that he had too protect!! which leaves him with 1 hand too get him self up with, so when he was attempting too get up!! the violent assault which continued left him imobalised and powerless to protect his good self,

a great young player is now left with emotional scarrs, he did not deserve such a shocking beating.
