Why wasnt he released this summer, much better use of his salary for the cap. Played awfully AGAIN tonight, not a big game player, not even a little game player - a big time bottler and a liability.

Lame troll.

I'd miss his cream based whiskey product if he went ....

in fairness bailey was very poor in attack, and gave some silly penalties away in defence

Everyone did on both teams with that orange clown in the middle.

I aint a troll just cos i have a degraded opinion on a leeds player mate! Check my previous posts, why would i troll on our board. Surely an opinion, no matter what way is allowed to be realised on here.

It's early in the season.

I thought Bailey played well. I thought he took the ball in well and made some good metres. He thought he got amongst them and upset a few of their forwards. He conceded a couple of penalties but won a couple.

Worth him playing just to hear the vitriol from the opposing supporters especially with Keef missing! The Wakey Harridans Society were giving their TENA-LADY's a serious workout when he approached the West Terrace. His scornful grimace at the Wakey fans when Kirke went over was priceless!

im not sure about bailey at times but tonight wasnt he worst by any means.

first game back after injury, in a game with no flow because of a $hit house ref? i think he went ok

but agian out shined by an ever improving ian kirk!! kirk was awesome tonight and our clan thought he was MOM

(by the way our man of the match choice is based on the the principle that you cant give it to JP every week because he is the dogs nuts pretty much every time he pulls on the shirt)

i thought bailey was average at best. first game though i'll give him the benefit. given the choice however it would be scruton for me every time over bailey

I would have rather kept Scruton tbh.

I won't slate him, because I still think he has a lot to offer. But come on Gareth, "played well"? he was far from that.

Although I think our coach's p1s5ing about with the team did not help any of the props. Having our 4 props in the side at the same time at one point, with Bailey and JP in second row, was very bemusing. Can't have helped Bailey's play.

i think injuries meant he had to do that DISA. where did the dominant,brilliant youngster go? little aggression,compare how he runs in to everyone else, missed tackles and all he seems to want to do is niggle and play the hard man.
well ryan, hard men walk the walk not stand there nose to nose posturing

Bailey was just doing his job last night, just getting wakefield wound up.

Would agree, Kirke has played very well in both games so far, the main thing that stands out for me is how mobile with ball in hand he is for a big guy.

IMO Lee Smith deserved MOM again, fantastic try saving tackle. Top player n attack and defence.

What game were you watching???
Did you not see the injuries and constant re-shuffling he was forced into??

Has shed a few pounds over the winter, could be a lean mean fighting machine, however he isn't commited enough at any stage of the game. Don't know why we kept Bailey and let Scruton go, no comparison in term of go forward and energy.

Can't believe how much weight Bailey has lost since last seeing him at the GF homecoming ceremony

If anyone has a problem with Bailey, look at Buderus' performance. Both played their first game in a while and they both looked like it. Buderus wanted to make an impact, couple of sloppy balls, lovely weight of pass for Kirke's game-breaker. Bailey did what he does well, rattled some cages and gave away a needless penalty, thought his strides were keen and metre-some.

More to come from these two obviously and anyone who can't see that wants to get a grip.

Glad I am not the only one who watches the games with my eyes open.

It does help I think. The amount of ts on the terraces is at an all time high. They have their pre-determined presuppositions on players and don't budge. For example, JJB seems to give a silly penalty away every week and its not an issue, but when Bailey does it is and its blown out of proportion. A few heads banged together could help me thinks.

but jjb also makes a big contribution each game. when was the last time bailey made the differance in a game? i have always supported him in the past but he is coasting. kirke is a limited player but he busts a gut in each game. when did bailey last have a good game?
we all have opinions but for me his time has gone. i would get shut at the end of the season if his attitude hasn't changed

Warrington at home last year bailey was awesome and hull fc at home the season before in the shocking rain! he was the stand out in both matches.

how good would bailey be if he played like that week in week out.

so twice in 2 seasons then.
