The Justin Poore classic punch was awesome, I was stood at Leeds only a few meters away Bailey was tackled 2m short Justin 3rd man peeling off, moved to the line - facing his goal line. Bailey got up quick moved forward holding the ball & pushed hard with his hand on the back of Justin's head. Justin turned quickly & with brilliant hand to eyeCo-ordination smacked a full weighed punch on Bailey which floored him, no one rushed in to hit justin, only a scuffle to prevent further action.
Bailey had 7 stitches to a deep cut side of temple & over his eye. To his credit he did come back on the field but was clearly concussed & was brought off shortly.
Bailey was used as an agitator by Leeds to get amongst the opposition & cause opposition players to stop thinking football & '' get him''. was sought by the opposing players.
However as we all know Justin had played State of origin where they belt each other & don't
get sent off, Justin went auto & smacked him full weight, that was the day handbags @ 2paces did not apply &
Was always going to happen to Bailey !
He has never been the same player after that incident.
