You must watch a different Craig to me, he can and does offload, one of our most consistent performers IMO, bust tackles and tackles his heart out week in week out, I suggest you watch a few video's to see exactly what he does for the team before you start slagging him off!

Last season huby made 40 tackle busts in 25 games, bailey made 24 in 17 games, and bailey was in the top side running at teams that were softened up by the likes of peacock and lauaititi (sp). He also scored 7 tries to baileys 0, 35 offloads to to baileys 5. He also made significantly more meters (and more tackles for that matter) so how you think that bailey offers more going forward is beyond me.

Huby is a far better player than bailey.
Also huby will have a testimonial in a couple of seasons so cant see him going anywhere, unless the club dont want him.

Bailey - do me a favour the guy must be one of the worst props in SL. How he has managed to hold down in a place in the Whinos team for so long is one of lifes great mysteries.

I truly believe that he is one of those less than mediocre players who has had the great fortune to play for a top club for a number of years, as soon as he transfers to another 'lesser' side he will be found out for what he is - crap.

...well he'll be well at home at Cas then, continuing the fine tradition of the last few years of us taking a very average 'name' player who is being off loaded from another or a 'bigger' club, putting them on a decent salary and then watching them do absolutely $od all for the team as they don't feel motivated to play for the club.
Step forward Mason, Greenhill, Korkidas, Feather....

While i dont agree with some fellow leeds fans who seem to think that bailey is a great player who others are scared of he isnt as bad as some make out, he is a good squad prop but the problem will come when he moves to a lesser club and has to be no1 prop at the club, something i dont think he can do.

As for chris feather, that guy had the physical attributes to be a world beater, but had the heart of a pea, and was rubbish

Good point - best start saving up for next years shirt with Baily's name on eh.

I don't think mason was given a fair chance at Cas.
I don't want a thug like bailey at cas, he would be a penalty nightmare for us imho.

and we don't have anyone as big as Rob Burrow for him to hide behind

While i understand we could do with a prop forward who is aggressive Bailey wouldn't be the answer,id rather hope we could find a player from down under in the mould of Lauaki or Fa'asavalu

Havent you got any big lumps in the Academy side who could make the step up, or are they a few years off yet?

None that are ready to be sl regulars, the two forwards that are nearest are ollie holmes a second rower and jon davies a loose forward. Both have made there sl debuts this year and looked pretty good, hopefully plenty more game time this season and next.

so you need a stop gap till they are ready. If you do go down under hope it is a quality player and not just someone just on a holiday! ( think all clubs have had there shere of these)

Agreed, though as the number of overseas players has dropped the quality has generally improved.

WHAT?


are you saying that you're happy with sherwin?


the only quality he has brought to your town is that the bar takings are well up!

On the flip side, that Rangi Chase aint a bad player.

never forget mate, this is Cas...for every chase we get a Fauminaua to keep the balance!

Well done to the judge as well giving him a reward.

Considering Bailey is 26 you'd hope his dad is not 38.
