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.
That's pretty much how I saw it. He hit hard, ran well and certainly didn't back down to anyone. I saw nothing wrong with his hit on Mary and the drop on the floor. The argument with Ginger Tossa was class and he didn't back off.
I think it's just easier to call him a bottler, etc. Trying to look as innocent and confused as possible when he smashes someone probably doesn't help.
He played well tonight.
