Bailey deliberately pushes the ref in the back and gets 3 matches, Hock grabs the ref by the arm and got an 8 match ban ? ...........explain?????

Because ,as I'm sure you are aware,it's all part of the great anti Wigan conspiracy generated from Red Hall.

Oh that's simple, Hock was made out to be the devil regardless of his pretty reasonable record previous to the event and the RFL are nothing but inconsistant.

Some exaggeration here. Hock's ban was actually 5 games and not 8.

Hock grabbed a ref after being sent off for dissent. It was intimidating and he went out of his way to do it.

Bailey may have been wrong to push Silverwood but it was a result of totally incompetent refereeing. Silverwood was hopelessly out of position at that play the ball.
Without excusing Bailey, I can understand his frustration at Silverwood positioning himself between the markers and a Warrington play so close to the try line. FWIW I don't think it would have stopped Warrington scoring but it certainly can't have helped.

Diifferent situations. Different motive. Different outcomes.

If that excuse carried weight, players would be getting off every week, especially ours.

Not for pushing the ref they wouldn't. Even given their general level of incompetence it's rare that refs get so badly in the way of play.

It's because of Baileys previous good record.

Lets not forget that he is TMFMISL. Every other clubs fans would have been screaming for a hanging had it been a Wigan player. Instead, its the refs fault. ***rolls eyes***

i officiate at amateure level and as much as i despise bailey, silverwood should get ban for being useless. Silverwood was in the way end of and i would have accepted being pushed out the way for that. It was a nothing.

The Hock incident was completely different and is not a comparison.

Hock didn't grab a ref after being sent off, I don't know where you got the idea that the sending off came first. Hock thought a try had been scored and disputed the decision and when the ref turned away he placed his hand on the refs shoulder and tugged it back. It wasn't intimidating and he didn't go out of the way to do. It was a stupid reaction and he got a deserved sending off and 5 match ban for it.

Bailey knew where the ref was and clearly pushed him as he was going past. In terms of the contact, Bailey's was worse, but given that Silverwood wasn't in a good position a 3 match ban is fair.

He also swore at the ref. Hock's was worse than Bailey's.
