Good for him

Good for him. Away from the silliness of Salford. Good signing for Wakefield too. He was an excellent and reliable player for us.

Yet another example of the usual career path of players who leave Leeds. With a few notable exceptions (Mozza springs to mind) players who leave HQ rarely go on to better things.

I wish him well all the same.

I agree they get their heads turned by greedy agents whose sole motive money.
I bet BJB misses the Rhinos more than the Rhinos have missed him

Another to follow in the footsteps of Calderwood.
Anyone know what he's doing nowadays? Wikipedia says Workington RLFC?

I wonder if Brian smith has told him he'll get chance at full back

To be fair to BJB he was out of the starting 13 picture unlike Calderwood who could've remained a starter. Irony is Briscoe then suffers a serious injury and misses a load of this season.

No problem him leaving Leeds to seek first team opportunities, he could've just been wiser in what team he chose to join in hindsight but then again he isn't the only one who will have thought Salford could've eventually started to move in the right direction. Still at least he's gotten out of that circus quickly and if he goes well at Wakey he could make his way back up to a better team.

Wakefield, the home of would-be Leeds fullbacks. BJB, Smith, Tansey.

I might adopt Wakey as my second team, mainly because in many way they are our second team.

Did Bailey sign for Wakey?

Although Peacock's move to HKR might be giving them competition now with Clarkson and Minns going and Mulhern rumoured for a loan move there.

How times change. I remember years ago watching an old Scrumdown compilation of tries, and every time we saw one from an ex-Leeds player and someone asked 'Where did he end up?', the answer nearly always seemed to be 'Went to Halifax'.

It really embarrasses me when fans say "no one ever leaves us & does better" the fact is we are a top club & these boys leave because they're good but not quite good enough to oust our 1st teamers or they just want more game time so obviously they won't move on to do better or they'd be in our 1st team!!!

Things haven't changed that much. Their 2015 squad includes Scott Murrell, Ben Kaye, Luke Ambler, Dane Manning and Richard Moore - all former Leeds players.
