This is closer to the truth than you think.

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.

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.

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

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.

He was standing behind the ref at the time though

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.

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.
