i didn't think he was that good last night but that is to be expected after being out sice the GF.
however it's his form over the last few seasons that worries me.
i want to see him making metres, running over people,knocking ball carriers down.
kirke, peacock,jjb,ali,kylie,burgess all do these things. bailey rarely does

He's been average for years.

It was the usual Bailey performance in my view. The good mixed with the bad. It does seem that he needs to regain some bulk to match his achievements when he first got in the side where he never seemed to be pushed back, always required 2 or 3 opponents to bring him to ground or complete the tackle and always won us more penalties than he costed us.
But the coaching staff MUST see something in him at training and close up in games because we kept him arguably at the expense of Scruton and that would have been based on an all round assessment of their relative merits.
Re JJB, yes he did give away a daft penalty but what he has is pace to get him in the position where he could capitalise on the Wakefield howler from the kick off and he played the full 80 minutes I believe.

Cheap shot Bailey he is nothing but a bully! I have no time for idiots like him.

It's a universal trend.

I like having Ryan Bailey on the sheet. He brings an "edge" to the team.

Granted sometimes he oversteps the mark but he certainly does distract some of the opposition forwards.

Did Tevita Leo Latu tell you to say that inbetween punching Brooke Pennington in the face, breaking her nose in the process?

Or did he perhaps tell you to make a racist remark to Ryan instead?

It's all in Leo Latus repertoire after all.

Yet you champion Atkins? Please.

Successive Grand Final winning coaches and at least one former GB coach saw enough in Ryan Bailey to select him. I guess their opinions are worthless compared to the scion of knowledge that is Southstander.

Looked in aggressive mood against Wakie.

I am going to try and be nice here.......avoid using the fekkwitt phrase...........we're all entitled to an opinion after all.........must show more tolerance.

Think about what you've typed. Do you really, I mean really, think that Tony Smith and Brian McLennan will have coached him to play with less aggression. Coached it out of him.

Have you ever met or been coached by anyone in RL who has asked you to show less aggression?

I've not personally no, but he must have, he gets softer with every game.

I have an immense dislike for him as a player, he offers nothing except penalties to the other team. He never breaks a tackle, he makes little or no ground, and he never wins a collision to get a quick play the ball. He's utterly worthless.
