not really that then, travis burns had a year left with kr and went, also it is protocol to say i am not leaving.. at this time of year when season passes are on sale and a great player like lunt says i am leaving wouldn't help the cause would it

Lunt still a FACT?

myler??

dont believe all you read in the papers, especially the hull ones.... unless they are overseas players ofcourse

Did travis come out publically and say he wasn't going (more than once) though? Why would it be protocol for a club and player to lie?

He actually said something similar to Lunt at a fans forum.

Put on the spot at a fans forum he decided to lie-says a lot. Still a far cry from volunteering information in the off season.

whats happened to jason chan, is he off back to oz? got a club?

Why not ask the club to see if he's leaving? (He's not.)

Chan is going back to Australia.

Ryan Bailey to Hull KR!

Hardly Shaun Lunt or Richie Myler!

Ha ha ha ha. Two Bob team!

Is that true? On loan or proper signing, Aww my favourite player to hate gone out of the team I love to hate most!!! Need a new player to dislike out of that leeds side.....hmm abblet?

2 year deal.

Could be a good signing for Hull KR.

at least he's not an overseas player this time!

lunt and myler

anything to fill the paper columns in hull

Maybe not but he's exactly the type of forward many on here have been saying is precisely what the Giants need...

What the giants need- a lazy player and a bad role model? No way would ken want him at giants.
We give away enough penalties as it is without Bailey- imagine how often he'd be penalised if he played in C&G!

I didnt say I wanted him. I didnt & I dont.

However, read through a lot of the posts on this board (including some of mine) and the description of a forward with real aggression (or mongrel as it's referred to) fits Bailey perfectly. If he wasnt a 16yr Rhino & we signed him many would be applauding it.

Bailey for me is lucky in the fact he is a decent prop that came to the fore at a time when he had some brilliant players around him. He could be the battering ram with a bit of added niggle because he didn't have to do owt else.

It is true we do need a couple of players to find the aggression levels and bump it up. No good just having brough and wardle charging in to hit owt that moves how about some of the ''giant' pack finding some grit this off season

Agree with Jools.

We do need more aggression in the pack. But it needs to be controlled aggression.

Who would Bailey hide behind after his cheap shots if he played for us? No Peacocks or Delaneys to defend him.

Our lot don't even defend our half backs.

Thank god we didn't get him.

We have mason....oh erm.... Odonnel...oh Erm....Fielden.....oh......kafusi.....nope this won't do! We lack in the defender/enforcer roll

Should get this from taai, Patrick, koppy, mull

Tbf Bailey would hide behind maguire or burrow if it saved his skin. Bailey isn't an aggressor on the pitch- he's a nasty piece of work. You only have to look at his Twitter account from time to time to know that Ken would not have him in C&G. The sort of bloke who's Twitter photo has him sticking two fingers up isn't what junior giants should be cheering on the pitch. Or the sort of guy threatening and belittling a woman because they've been dumped. Hull KR are welcome to him- let's hope they have a handle on their off field antics or Bailey could become a real thorn in their side. I doubt they will be capable of twisting the media as well as hetherington and co.

We did right to stay away from this piece of vermin. If bailey ever wore our colours I would seriously re-consider my position as a club sponsor and lifelong, and family, season ticket holder. Cannot stand the guy and it's not just because he played for Leeds!! Cheapshot, pick on the little man, third man in, that's bailey. I'll never ever forget the moment he ran into Shaun Briscoe who was playing FB and bailey was knocked out cold, SUPERB!!!!

patrick as an enforcer, we will never see that!

only ones who show aggression are brough, wardle and ferres in our team. sometimes cudjoe too.

Exactly that's the problem, brough should be winding up and frustrating the big players not losing his cool

Joe isn't the biggest of lads and gives it out but the men in the middle and we have plenty of the should be stepping up in that department.

Why shouldn't we see Patrick being an enforcer one of the more powerful lads we have in the team?

patrick isnt an aggressive player, he is like crabtree in that sense.

Enforcers in any sport are not exactly made, they are born. If a player, for example in your own team, Crabtree, may have other qualities which make him a good, sometimes very good player, no one can teach him to be an enforcer....its just an instinct from within.

True. Its nothing to do with playing ability.
It's a nasty streak, pure and simple.
