| Quote: franchisecas "As Much as I like Craig and he is cas through and through, I just think he offers nothing going forward. He doesn't beat a man and never busts through and is easy to tackle. I would off load Higgind first and only off load Craig if we can't get any one better. Craig does tackle alot, but we do need props with some aggresion. Ive never liked Bailey Personality, but he is aggresive and Cas Lack that going forward. We also need some pace in the pack and he can be fairly shifty. I would sign Bailey if he is coming for the right reasons and not just for some easy money.'" 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....

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

| 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
