Hope this was a one off, cos you can bet he'll be the target for all the wind up merchants now.

I'm interested to hear how Reece Lyne played.

who do you thinking was laughing at the end of the game, bailey who played 70 mins for the winning side or poore who was showered and changed by half time? and which coach do you think was happier, brain mcdermott who saw his prop suck in another idiot or richard agar who saw his team reduced to 12 men for 75% of the game & now has to worry about his star import prop being targeted for the rest of the year?

whilst many fans seem to think its some kind of victory to punch bailey, no many seem to realised that bailey takes plenty of punches & carries on playing whilst his opposition has a nice view of the game for the sideline.

got a free ticket myself but was worth £20 just to see poore stuff his fist into baileys face

Considering that it was a friendly that was nothing but a means of putting a few quid in the coffers don't think Agar will be too bothered, and if that puts a marker down for next season and lets teams know we aren't going to be bullied then it was worth the red card. Poore is a seasoned NRL player with a pretty decent disciplinary record and I'm pretty sure he's had better players than bailey try to wind him up. He will know that when the serious stuff begins he'll have to tread more carefully.

Was still good to see Justin Poore the man

, as above said it was a friendly

so no not botherd about loosing this one..

I didn't see the incident, but if it played out as it's been described, then it's hardly surprising that Poore, on debut, wanted to send out a message that he means business; if Bailey started it and Poore finished it, then I'm ok with that and given that Kylie escaped any action after slotting 3 or 4 on Peter Fox in the play-off game, one would hope that the panel will put it down to handbags and not hand out any silly ban.

Going forward, one would hope that Poore can control that side of his game and doesn't become a penalty machine - given the level he's played at, I don't think that's an issue.

Our first competitive game against Leeds should be an interesting one!

anybody that has watched him in aus will tell you he is a good pro. baileys cheap shot got the maggot exactly what he deserved

I'm pretty sure it was Poore - don't be a wally.

Had this been a real game you may have a point, although in a real game both would have got 10 minutes!- but it wasn't. Poore put down a marker, mess with me or I WILL hurt you. Now he doesn't have to do it in a real game.

As for your lionisation of Bailey, he spent the rest of the day hiding.

Sounds about right.
Hid behind his team-mates when Radders called it on.

Someone that I haven't seen mentioned yet is Lyne, thought he showed up well yesterday, solid in defense and showed his pace,looks like a good signing.


Got to laugh at some of the Leeds lot trying to take more out of the game than actually there is, apparently they beat Trinity's full side with a team full of kids. It seemed to have past them by that both sides didn't field the strongest side but more importantly we were a man down for over half a game and as usual when that happens one team runs out of gas by about the 60th minute.

Not much into sports psychology but I'd suggest that was Poore set down the marker regarding Bailey for future games, keep your eye on these two for future games!

Is that deliberate ? cos it made me laugh.

Don't forget the classic of all time - Bailey hiding behind Burrow when Lauaki went after him, resulting in the pure comedy gold of Burrow windmilling punches in mid-air, whilst Lauaki held him at bay with a hand on top of his head.

Yeah this preseason victory against wakey is the bragging rights we've been waiting for. If only we had a one of our players sent off like your lot to gloat about. Not like we have anything else to brag about now is there....

This pre-season warm-up has generated more interest than any other in recent years; perhaps it's an indication that despite the howls of protest when it happens, the best way to get people interested in the game is to bring back the biff??

Even our very own Sunbed Kid has got himself into a right schemozzle on Twitter, arguing with Robbie Burrow for suggesting that the Leeds 'kids' beat a full strength Wakey side; I can't wait for the first competitive game of the season - it'll be a humdinger!

LOL did I say that, no you've gone on some weird tangent there bud, only thing I said is that a few of your lot seemed to take a lot from beating a 12 man 'full Strength' Trinity side, with you're supposed side of kids.

And give it a rest, if Bailey had flattened Poore and got sent off yesterday, you'd be having a mass circle jerk like you usually have about the crap house.

yeah i'm sure agar will be very happy to learn that 20 minutes of bailey is too much for poore to handle, the fact that it was in a friendly makes it even worse; he couldn't handle the attention in a friendly so whats he going to be like when it really matters. then when you combine it with the fact that you didn't have any other 'named' props in your squad, it's a great showing from him



end of the day bailey has a small cut which will be gone in a week or two. poore has put a big target on himself for both players & refs which will last for months.

It was as pretty much a full strength side, chances are you'll have at least 4 or 5 out for most games through injury suspension etc. Supposed kids? Are you trying to deny that we didn't play kids? Insane. .Seems to me like a lot of you are ignoring that a team made up with MOSTLY first team players got beat by Leeds juniors. I know what kind of response I'm going to get as it will not be admitted but facts are facts. A bit worrying. You're overestimating your clubs significance to us, you are for the time being at least no real threat to us.

Poore went at it like a maniac yesterday right from the off, i loved every second of it.
It was an odd red card, and i'm struggling to think of too many recent games with 1 red and 3 yellow cards in it, so that says more about the ref than Bailey's supposedly wonderful goading tactics that earned him a whack.
Leeds have some terrifyingly good young uns coming through and clearly have plan right through the club to focus on offloading in the tackle.
Wakey were decent and kept right in it, Trout was as good as he could have been. We were a bit light up front for obvious reasons, the backs put some decent plays together and i thought Collis had a great game. I worry about our wingers defence again.
All in all a good run out for both teams and there is obviously more work to do before the big kick.
It really whet my appetite as well, super stuff all round.

Leeds were missing 12 probable first 17 players. Wakey 5?

...14 at a push with Griffin and Clarkson.

We were missing 7.

And more significantly played without a recognised prop after Poore was sent off.

I think people are reading way too much into this. It was a friendly with a ref out of his depth. Apart from Baileys bloated ego I see no damage done!

The main point is, if a team whether they are made up of few of the younger players can't beat a side that played with 12 men for over half a game there is something wrong, especially the Champions.

No I'm not trying to deny anything bud but the way you lot have been trying to paint the picture you'd think there were 17 teenagers on the pitch. We also had 6/7 younger players and only one recognised prop (Poore) and you had about 10, you really are making more out of it than there is especially for a pre-season boxing day game, that's all I've said.
