Some of RL's laws need to be looked at big time.

Take last seasons playoff game at Leeds Calderwood get's sent to the sin bin for not standing square at the PTB and at the same time a fight kicks off and Senior runs 20 yards to hit someone in the head and gets a slap on the wrist and nothing else?

Only in RL can you get 10 mins for petty things like holding down in the tackle or having one foot offside but not for striking out an opposition player?

I certainly know which one would A-cause the most damage and B-which one was intended to injure a player. Guess the RFL see it differently?

I'm a bit more interested in Leed's fighting tbh... I think a punch has been thrown in all of their matches exept for ours(?). How on earth have they not been penilised by the panel once

Saints - Fighting
Wigan - Don't recall one
Warrington - Think so?
Manly - Fighting
Hull KR - Not sure there was fighting but McShane was sin binned?
Wakey - Fighting
Celtic - Fighting


And btw Both tackles were legal but they shouldn't appear too often really...

As stevo says "Its not tiddly winks"

Its an impact sport, these things will happen.

On the leeds fighting thing, i hadn't realised they have a fight in nearly every game. Poor disipline or passionate play?

I think it's a case of Leeds getting 'up themselves' in more ways than one at present.

Some of their fans' recent posts suggest they really think some kind of legend has been born at Headingley. After the WC and the WCC, I'd argue they're the best (though that's still debatable) of a pretty poor crowd.

bailey tried to start a fight against warrington, then shat himself and backpedalled on his invisible unicycle, it's on that video sharing site we're not allowed to mention on here, search for paul rauhihi and it should appear.

Anybody seen the Sculthorpe v Bailey fight on You Tube from 2006?

Well, I say fight...Bailey gets absolutely snotted. Great viewing.

do you think the outcome could of been differentif someone like westwood,, hockor fozzard had done that to a leeds player.
