Did you even read the first post? Maybe then you'd understand the title of the thread better

| Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"
What i would think is more interesting will be the disciplinary view. Bailey should get one game for the elbowing. However, Red Hall will not ban him because it will leave Leeds with three props out. /quote
This is THE most interesting post , will the RFL disciplinary committee be swayed by this ?
As I have posted , certain club officials
Have too much influence at the RFL

| Quote Old_Faithful_IAKW="Old_Faithful_IAKW"What a rubbish thread. Lock it.I think Cockayne's a nob aswell as Bailey, does that mean I'm racist to whites?
Everyone hates Bailey because he's scum of the earth, black or white the way he acts is what makes him that not his color.'"
Great example that. You hate Cockayne who plays for HKR, given your username one would assume you have an underlying prejudice against HKR players.

| yeah thats definitely it, a Leeds based RFL conspiracy to protect Ryan Bailey
In fact GH has spent years building up his relationship with the RFL purely to stop Ryan Bailey getting a one match ban.
What it definitely isnt is people making a mountain out of a molehill because its Ryan Bailey, certainly not, no sir,

| Neither party is innocent. Lets look at the facts.
Radford might have held down too long, still didn't deserve the elbows to the head he recieved. This in-turn, did not warrant Radford's reaction to stand up and throw 3 punches which 2 connected while Bailey was lying on the floor unprotected
Bailey might have been given an easier ride if he had got up and let the handbags reach their natural conclusion but, as is usual with Bailey and why is he universally disliked (bar most Leeds fans) is that he went back in late to try and act the big, tough man and attempted to headbutt Long which luckily didn't connect.
Personally I think Bailey had this coming. He got away with his cowardly attack on Riley in the last second at Wembley as well as many years of dirty,niggly, third man in tactics.
In terms of the punishments dealt I think Radford was right to be sent off, you can't have players punching other players while they are on the ground unprotected, if at all. Nevertheless I think he should be given sending off sufficient because it happened in the heat of a fierce derby while being provoked by Bailey's elbows.
One things for sure, it will be VERY tasty if Leeds and Hull meet in the play-offs (if that is possible before the Grand Final)

| Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"Newton's disciplinary record was also pretty good IIRC until late in his career he finally got what he deserved.
In fact, did he ever pick up a red card in top flight RL? (genuine question, I don't know the answer)'"
I can think of a few occasions he should have been (two in one match against you lot) but i don't recall him getting one. Had a quick peruse of google and couldn't find anyhting there either. There was a good article involving him (to use permissable language) having a wee wee on Barry Mac's hands while he was at Leeds.

| Bring back the biff. In the good old bad old days. The ref would have said "right you've both had a go apiece now get on with the game". Discipline, it's killing the game.
However it's good to see Bailey on the receiving end.

I'll admit I detest Bailey but prejudices aside, having Sky plussed the game and watching it later, thought Jamie Peacock answered the question perfectly about a justified sending off, when he did a mint Arsene Wenger impression. You don't get the "get on with the game" anymore so should have been 10 mins apiece end of story.

| Quote G1="G1"Why do you consider him to be of a similar ilk to Newton? It can't be that they have a similar disciplinary record because, and here is why the OP has a valid point, because Bailey has never received a red card and only ever received 1 yellow card.
So, why do you reach the judgment you have done?
You see, there are other front rowers with a much worse record than Baileys. Look at how universally respected Morley is in comparison to Bailey yet Bailey has a much cleaner disciplinary record. So what gives?
Considering the consensus of (misguided) opinion from everyone but a proportion of Leeds fans and Leeds 1st team coaches is that he's not a good player there isn't another player in the entire league that gets as much bandwidth devoted to him on here as Bailey.
I know why, the OP knows why. I don't expect any of you to agree or admit it but it's flagrant. It's OK for white boys like Sculthorpe, Morley, MCDermott etc to act like enforcers in the game but when some uppety swarthy lad tries it that just won't wash with the majority of white supporters on RL Fans.'"
The difference between Bailey and Morley is that Morley would go toe-to-toe with anyone. Morley isn't a cheapshot merchant, and he doesn't go hiding. Morley has built a career out of being a hard man and is widely respected, both in England and Australia
Bailey is a coward. He knew exactly what he was doing when he started swinging the elbow and deserved the smacking he got. Then to wait on the floor until enough players got between him and Radford was laughable.
How Bailey has the clean disciplinary record he does beggars belief. There's not been 1 Leeds game on TV this season where he hasn't pulled at least a couple of niggling house stunts. That said, he's not on his own at Leeds. Ablett, JJB, Senior, and now Delaney are all of a similar mindset.
