I see they mislaid Bailey's previous record.

Of the 21 times he's been reviewed by the MRP/Disciplinary committee, he has being charged just once. So i await to find out what his previous record is

Hes been cautioned a few times tho!!

Nice to see the RFL ignored Joel putting him on his !!

I cant be ar[is[/ied counting again, probably 6-7 times though. Not too bad.

If/when Ablett gets banned - Ganson and his touch judges should be stood down (without pay) for as many games as he gets banned for bottling the decision/incompetence.

Not for his reputation!! Although Coley had Cautions form last season used against him this year to ban him!! And Im certainly not starting to look at Baileys past record!! Haha

IMO it was never going to result in a ban!! Which is what makes the on report thing a get out of jail card! If the ref saw it and thought it was worthy of looking at surely 10 mins should be given! Then sin bin sufficient cant be argued with!

Just stop there, it says it all.

To be honest i dont really care how many games either get as we wont get any advantage from them. Im just happy we put the whole Leeds team on their and showed them that they arent that great anymore



Lets be honest if Ablett was sent off as he should of been and Coley hadnt been binned for next to nowt it would of been a right good slaughtering

Can you tell me Wednesday's & Saturday's Lotto results along with Friday's Euros.

If you're down to 12, your team tends to rally and generally, less points can be scored.

We might, if it helps Hull keep 4th place. I'd rather play Hull than Leeds in round 1 (no offence to Hull fans intended).

If that's the kind of logic you bank on, pal, you need to play the lotto more, because common sense strategies are clearly beyond you.

Are you seriously suggesting that less defenders (who will tire more easily) + more space for attackers = a better defence???

baily let off with warning,ablett charged with a grade c,does that me it is deemed less serious than coley the other week.Rl is a joke.

once again they have shown what a joke they are with regards to bring players to task ie bailey and ablett.wether you like the aussie system or not had this happened over there these two players would have been out for weeks and rightly so.justice in our game depends which club you play for.this makes a mockery of the punishment handed out to coley.

Your team rallies when down to 12, work harder for each other and the team. Obviously will tire quicker dependant on the timescale though.

I still maintain that if the video ref is present and a player is put on report.
Then the video ref should determine if the player should be sent off.
Or the match day ref reviews it using video eveidence.
The panel can then debate if the sending off was sufficient or the player is banned for x matches.
In this case Ablett gets sent off plus maybe a further 1 or 2 game ban.
That way the team who are offended against benefit.

Makes sense. Explains why so many teams voluntarily play with 12 men so often...

Hmm, i dont think i'll bother seen as you're clearly missing the point.

I know what you are getting at mate. You see it in football a lot where a side goes down to 10 men but manage to hold on without conceding. They do say teams become much harder to break down in this instance but I'm not sure it would work in Rugby. In football a team will change formation to combat a red card sacrificing attack for a much tighter defence but I don't think you can do this in Rugby as there is going to be a gap in the line no matter what you do if a player is missing. Although it may be the case that a team is woken up and tries that little bit harder to make up for having less men on the field but I think it would be hard to maintain it over the course of a game

Thank you.

It is harder to maintain, but still the effort and the fact that the team still rallies is there.

I think it is definitely possible for a sin-binning that a team can maintain such an effort and I have seen it where a team has actually outscored their opponents whilst having a man in the bin. The question is though does it effect a team later in the game, as it will take a lot out of a team defending with only 12 men on the field no matter how long or short the time.

Leeds fans on RLFANS are definately up there with the Wolfs.

Sam Buca, what a numpty.

...and no mention of Tomkins crouching down either. Maybe you should look a little closer to home for people who were making stupid comments about this incident eh?
