I thought Burgess was excellent last night for you lot. Surrounded by god knows who trying to tear each others heads off, when others shirked it, he kept carting the ball in all night, I thought he showed up very well indeed.

Yeah, but unfortunately thinking isn't exactly your strong point is it?

I suppose disregarding something you've disregarded might be an interesting philosophical exercise, but then as most people disregard your opinion I'm not sure it would be anything but an exercise in futility. But no doubt you're an expert on that too.

Bailey is, and will probably always be, a big daft lad with few skills and a lot of aggression, takes a lot more than that to make a decent RL player.

Getting your dictionary and Idiot's Guide Philosphy out will not prevent you from looking a complete TW@ on this occassion. You can't get the kind of knowledge you need from a book and, even if you could, you'd be too thick to take it in!

Actually, I've just realised, you obviously got your dad to write the response! No run along, it is a nice day for playing out.

I thought Burgess was excellent for you guys, especially when the heat was on.

If you want to look at one of the forwards who could have played better, take a look at Diskin. There was little wrong with Leeds go forward, but we didn't get any real quality ball away from dummy half all night.

I also had to laugh when Bluey said "we are a much stronger team defensively, when Matt Diskin is on the park".

He was the one missing tackles in the middle last night Brian. I can't wait for Danny Buderus to get fit and show how a real hooker plays...

How many times did Bailey take the ball up after his shot on Maurie (which was fair enough IMO).

A proper "hard man" would be looking to take the ball in, not standing behind the play the ball or in the centres. His running sideways on his first hit up was hilarious Burgess, on the other hand, was top drawer and showed Bailey what a prop is all about.

Long may Bailey turn out for Leeds - if you had a decent prop in there instead you'd probably be unbeatable.

Oh dear, you sink merrily deeper into your own faeces.

He didn't stand behind the PTB or at centre. That's just wrong. Inncorrect bulsh*t. He was used as a decoy runner. And quite happily drove the ball in on numerous occasions.

Ask Maurie how hard Bailey is? If he's woke up yet from his slumber. Why did Graham get so wound up? And what was the best 'hit' Graham could produce on Bailey? Third man in from a static position. Yeah that showed him.

Ask other key props also - Morley, Fozzard, Fielden. They've felt his force and don't run in his way.

HTH.

Ryan Bailey - How good is this guy? He rattles cages like no other in Super League. His huge, legal, shoulder charge laid the ineffective Maurie out. The fan fare afterwards was pathetic. He went in with the shoulder, and the Saints players who cried at that - get a grip. After the hit, Bailey stood straight up and stood his ground. Notice how no Saints player went toe-to-toe with him, just pudding Graham frothing at the mouth, 10m away. And when Graham did put him down, he was third man in when Bailey was static, yeah you showed him. And people say Bailey just does third man in. He was also unlucky when he drove himself into the un-tackled Saints player. I think the penalty was for him being too rough. Bless. He went down with his shoulder and massive body weight. I just get the feeling if it was JP that shoulder charged Maurie, for the same result, nothing would have been said. Bailey's hated by opposition players and fans. And I adore his gritty style, and I have a striong feeling that he loves it too. His huge hit dragged us back in the game, Saints were rattled and we edged our way back into it, thanks to Ryan Bailey. More of the same please Ryan.

How many after his hit? 3? 4? And one of the was sideways and he got driven back 10 metres.

He's rubbish, I love him in the same way I love Mathers and Sykes - players who shouldn't be turning out for big clubs.

How many warnings did Cunningham need to calm his team down?

Straight after his second warning he charged out of the line and rammed a Leeds player's face (cant remember who it was) in to the ground post tackle.
