I feel sorry for him. He coached a team to a World Cup final but had to work with championship level players at cas.

I also have a soft spot for him after he absolutely leathered Ryan Bailey to the point ryan Bailey, bleeding profusely, waited until all his team mates were in front of him before shouting “hold me back”

He put the cones out for Samoa, which is what he will do cut price in Aus.

As usual not quite true but Bailey did help Leeds win the game

Won everything as coach in the amateur game. Back to back challenge cup winner. Very close on two occasions taking a team to the grand final. Part of the coaching team that took Samoa to a World Cup final.

His coaching cv is fairly decent. .

Probably too honest of a speaker to be put in front of media.

You mean when he took several cheap shots at Bailey whilst he was on the ground? Proper hard that.

Your also forgetting that Radford was pulled off and had started running away before Bailey was on his feet.

I bet you wouldn't say that to his face. It's ironic that you call him soft, yet respect a man because he was brave enough to take some cheap shots at him.

Remember when Ryan Bailey's dad fought an armed robber and threw him out of a betting shop when he tried to rob it?

Not sure that`s the true story.
My recollection was that Bails Dad held him down with a chair I think until the police arrived.

The CCTV footage is still on YouTube. https://youtu.be/dbdUgKs5oEs RB's dad was rumoured to be a no-nonsense crook, who may or may not have been heavily involved in Leeds' illicit drug trade and protection rackets. Apparently, he took it as an insult that someone would try to rob a bookies in his presence. All speculation of course.
