Arnt opinions such a varied subject.

Having a front seat in the bout I think I, and the rest of the West Stand attendees, including the few Leeds fans, can confirm that as Poore ran past, Bailey grabbed hold of him then proceeded to provoke, they got to grappling and then Bailey got what he asked for.

I'm not trying to provoke an argument with you, and I know fans can be biased, hence why we are fans, but I think it stands as fact that Bailey actually provoked the fight, not denying there was hunting going on between them prior to it.

Maybe because we're an 'iconic' club the RL/SL will not be too hard on us?

Bailey was doing what her normally does apart from he did it with a state of origin prop. Fists get thrown 3-10 times a game over there and is what I believe the toughest games are played. Bailey chewed more than he could swallow and got what he deserved. A bit tight on the red card I believe a sin-bin would of been enough. Bailey was quiet for the rest of the game, not suprised!!

Definately, he lost his intimidation factor after he got a braying.

Whilst I agree the NRL is the toughest rugby comp in the world rarely do they throw punches, that side of the game has become quite stagnant due to the professional levels they have taken the game to. Players get crucified for giving away penalties by coaches and also pick up significant bans.

It obviously happens from time to time, but not nearly as much as it used to or as often as it does over here.

As for Poore, for all the initial praise, he basically got sucked in by Bailey who has been doing it for years to great effect for Leeds. He is the master at getting under players skin and has added another victim to the long list. I cannot stand the bloke, and it's not as painful as it was a friendly but ultimately the goal is to win and Bailey plays an important role in bringing Leeds the spoils.
