Bailey was superb last night, and rattled Saints. The verbals incident when ginger came on was hilarious. Bailey was legal throughout the match, but seems to be a marked man by the officials. Even Eddie Hemmings suspects he's dirty - but I was pleased that Cullen, Stepho and Clarke all came to his defence ( what have they got in common? - yes, all ex players who know what its about).

Hard Play - Watmough on Burrow, Mozza on Ryan Hall two weeks ago, Bailey's shoulder on Maurie.

Foul Play - Maurie's chicken wing against Crusaders, Scutons high tackle against Bulls last year, Gilmour's facial of Smithy

Discuss

Its getting to the stage where if a player is injured, its the opposing player who was being dirty, not the fact that the injured player might have gone in wrong, or just had a big hit put on them.

I don't recall anybody on here having an issue with it. it was a decent hit, nothing more, sometimes when a players back is turned and they have 'relaxed' having passed the ball, they are a bit more succeptable to a hit, i think that is what happened in this instance.

Whilst at the game, there appeared to be question marks about the hit when witnessed first hand, something that the first 2 replays on the big screen didn't alter. At that point, it looked like a late hit, possibly with a leading elbow and/or a high shot. However, once the replay from behind the posts had been shown, it was quite clear there was nothing really wrong with the tackle. Maybe a fraction late, but nothing to get excited about. Bill is right in saying that some Leeds fans couldn't take in what their eyes were showing them and continued to demand Briscoe be sent off.
