Ryan Bailey (11/11/83) - The Most Feared Man In Super League The Most Feared Man In Super League (TMFMISL) * Coined by thebloodbath * Inspired by Bailey *:39092.jpg



A great deal for both parties.

Leeds secure the services of a machine of a second rower and JJB can carry on his love affair with his hometown club.

Players talk about 'passion' for their club, but he stands out more than most. In every game, whatever the outcome, he will run his blood to water. His workrate is unquestionable the same as his love for his club. His skill levels excel as well, knows when to punch the ball out and runs great fast lines. Punches above his weight on contact as well.

One of my favourite players.

Great news.

Cane back from a number of injuries that threatened to ruin his career as a youngster to become an integral part of our success.

He's prone to the odd brain fart, and can sometimes be a bit of a penalty machine, but this can be forgiven, as it's always part of a massive effort for the team. A real 'players player' who will roll his sleeves up and give his absolute all for the team, regardless of the magnitude of the match, whether it be Salford at the Willows, or Saints at Old Trafford - you get the same effort and determination.

There are more skillful and naturally gifted players out there, but I'd take a JJB who'll run his blood to water everytime rather than a more skilful player who drifts in and out of games.

Always been one of my favourite players, had a great season this year. Hope he can have a good 3 more seasons, he wouldn't look right in another teams colours. Summed him up for me (cant remember who against) things weren't going our way and he went mental punching the post protectors!!

It was at Odsal at Easter...

One of my favourite players as well, and a top man - great to see him sign another deal! icon_cool.gif

A wonderful player, who not only is a workhorse, but also is more skillful than many give him credit for with good hands and an eye for an offload.

I knew someone when I was at Uni who was a 'fax fan, and her brother played with him at junior level, and she was of the opinion that JJB was no good, and that her brother was better, and that Leeds should have signed her brother.

I bet Leeds are really regretting that decision now icon_lol.gif

Mine too. Ever.

And to think that going back to around late 2003 I didn't think he'd make it at the top grade after his injury woes.

Great signing and can only agree with what's been posted above.
I will also add when players like Sinfield and co are interviewed they more often than not mention Jjb's work-rate and his worth to the team speaks volumes imo.

This is getting to be like an RIP thread with all the eulogy going on ... but I'll just join in.
His enthusiasm seems to lift the team whenever he comes on, he's never uncommitted or uninvolved and, from what I read, off the pitch he's one those cheerful and witty oddball characters that every team needs.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg

Fat people are harder to kidnap.:35138.jpg



I'll agree with a couple of posts stating that he is not the most naturally gifted of players but he works his dangleberries off every time he pulls on his shirt.

One this that does go unnoticed with JJB is his ability to read a game, especially in defence - keep an eye out for him, when an attacker is adequately covered in the tackle he tends to get into the attacking line to prevent the pass or offload.

I too wondered whether he'd ever overcome his early injuries (hope yet for Watkins I trust) but I'm delighted that he has done.
His enthusiasm must be an example to all his teammates yet he can still infuriate when he messes around after a tackle & concedes a penalty.
But given his efforts to chase up after every kick that has to be forgiven.
I wonder what his future role will be at the club when he finally decides to hang up his boots?
