Bailey is a good player for mine.

Jeez, next you will be saying the Bulls are fooking brilliant!!

and it could be said he has been missed



cos something has defo been missing lately.

Bailey....you mean our 8th choice prop for 2010 behind Peacock,Kylie,Eastwood (hopefully)Burgess,Kirke,Pitts,Amor

in his book andrew johns says the most important tackler is the third man in as he controls the speed of the tackle and ruck. could be this is baileys job?

St Helens away folks.....

thing is loz you state one game. he should do more than he does.he's good enough

I agree mate, dont get me wrong

If he used the same intensity all the way through GB star

A point missed by people who in general have never stepped foot on an RL pitch

Do you honestly think that Bailey will be behind Kirke, Pitts and Amor?

That's not meant to sound sarcastic btw, genuine question.

He has that one game every now and again where he is just awesome !! This season hull kr away for me!!

He is good enough, but it only seems to come in patches. His physical presence, with Burrow's heart, would be a world beater

There are those who think that the third man in the tackle is only there to steal the ball, slip in a sly punch, knee the tackled player, then run away - this much I've learned from reading threads on here about Mr Bailey.

Bailey is signing for the Dulls by all accounts.

Good.

I've heard a whisper we have enquired about the availability of Ryan Bailey.

Well I was been a bit mischievous,particulary regards Pitts and Amor but I do think Bailey has to pull his socks up or otherwise in a couple of years time yes he could well be behind Pitts and especially Amor who I think is going to be a cracker within the next couple of years.

Bailey has always looked the part,great physique etc but for mine he hardly ever plays to his fighting weight.

Games like Saints and Hull KR away are too far and inbetween.He should be putting performances in like that at least every 3-4 weeks not just once or twice a season.

Bailey adds a bit of 'mongrel' to the pack. That bit of edge and nastiness that any good pack needs. I think we've missed him these last few weeks and I would be sorry and surprised to see him go. His best years are still ahead of him - most props dont're really mature till their late 20's. A good coach would/should get some real value from him.

Bailey (and to a lesser extent Kirke) have been a big miss over the last couple of months. A second row of Ablett and JJB with Worrall on the bench is hardly the imposing physical presence you need when you're operating with just three front rowers in your 17.

Lauitiiti?

Woop.

So out of four second rowers in the 17, that's one big fella and three smaller "grafters".

Still hardly an imposing physical presence.

I don't disagree with the point you're making especially as recently it's seen JJB utilised as a part-time prop during the game.

I think JJB and Ablett are a decent size for second row, but worral is small. None will run over someone though*





*except Lee Briers

His stats for that game will be just as pap as they are for any other he plays in.

He was hiding in the centres while Graham was setting up the match winning try. He's poo.

the biggest problem a lot of us have is he has talent, he has games where he is unplayable. however this probably works out about every 50 games.
