What about the time Radford hit him, Bailey came looking only when the rest of the Leeds players were there to "stop him".

He couldn't get to Radford so who else did he try to get to? Another prop? a second row? any big guys? Nope, he tried to head butt Sean Long

wooo one incident wow and such a fearsome reputation...any more

Thats not hiding behind a team mate. As you rightly point out Graham managed to get a cheap shot in on him so hardly hid.

This thread has gone from banal to awesome. More please folks lol.

So Bailey is a coward for not fighting, and Keith is a idiot for fighting and putting old wilkin on his bottom? Hard to please!

Bailey can fight if he has to just ask to Aussie enforcer at Huddersfield. Came looking for Bailey got put down

Again not hiding, couple of cheap shots by radford while Bailey was on the floor and couldn't fight back. Hardly a shocker the teams ran in and separated everyone

I think you need to look up the definition of fear old bean.

Anyway, 18 pages of this banal merrygoround!? REALLY!?

I'll give it to 20 before I lock it

No. I know you're from Yarkshire and therefore a bit slow, like, so let me explain. Bailey is a coward for hiding behind his team mates/fronting up to scrawny kids; Keef is an idiot for using his fists before engaging his brain, although to be fair whether he possesses any brain at all is up for debate.

Awww. It's the off season. I'm bored!

I was having a bit of fun there.

Oh well.

You continue to be an embarrassment to a great club. NOBODY who pulls on a rugby shirt is a coward in my book not even Pryce.

Has anyone actually got any evidence of fronting up to kids? Not seen any yet, just people perpetuating the myths regarding Bailey. As for being a coward, I believe he did ok when the Aussie enforcer from Huddersfield came
Looking for him and got put down. I love the keyboard warriors calling any league players a coward. I know where Bailey lives, can take you round if you like and you can call him a coward to his face?

As for the Yorkshire Lancashire thing I don't really need to comment we all know Yorkshire is the nicer of the two counties

I don't particularly like Bailey but to describe him as a coward from behind a keyboard is laughable. I saw him as a young lad at Knowsley Road take on and batter the best young players Australia had and give England their first ever victory at that level over the Aussies. I'll tell you now the Aussies were in tears and Bailey was a BIG part of that victory.

I think he now has been a part of five GF winning teams (if he was poor do you think he would have done that?)

Why bring pryce into it? Nobody cares about pryce now because he's french scum now

Should be bloody serving time now, not living it up on the South of France.

Thug.

You continue to be an idiot, clearly. I think you need to look up the word 'coward'.

Who's Pryce?

I agree he's a disgrace to rugby league and no club should give him the time of day

Agreed. He ain't one of my favourite players but I think he does have a reputation which isn't always justified

I think his reputation of being a $hithouse is justified.

Oh hello Rogues. Funny you should join in this bit of off season fun with some boring tale about some match you've seen (I'm sure Bailey was a Wigan fan at the time too). Not seen your crew around for a while. I guess we shut you all up by knocking you out of the playoffs.

Anyhoo, of course cowards can exist on a rugby pitch. I've seen them. They might punch someone and then run off. Oh. Who have I seen doing that in Superleague? I just can't think. Or they may front up to smaller or younger lads. Hmm. I can't think who that might remind me of ...

Cowardice is relative. The young Saints lad(s) were a whole lot braver than he was on Grand Final night that's for sure.

As is perception.

Maybe so, don't forget he also has a reputation as a winner, 5 time winner. You remember what that like don't you?

No doubt he plays for a champion team and leeds are certainly a champion club but he's still a $hithouse.

Indeed.

Well done!

And to end this delightful little debate (which you can happily continue on the VT or indeed on Redvee if you'd like.
