ere if that bailey went ter to ter with another forward we would all love it

he doesnt theur

he hits small half backs late or from a blarndsarde

My honest view of Bailey is that he's a good player but it's as if he's a product of the WWF/WWE (or whatever it's called these days) rather than the RL family.
I'm sure he'd have made a great villain for Kent Walton and a legion of ringside grannies to get wound up about but is that something I pay to see on the rugby field ...... well no, I can't say that it is. Barging into people at a melee not looking to hit anyone but instead looking/hoping to get hit - is not my idea of an enforcer. There have been exceptions such as the O'Donnel incident but that's what they are - exceptions. Usually it's just an attempt to goad a response from the opponents.

As for the shoulder charge - not sure it was as Bailey's left arm is wrapped around the back of Bosc. That said it's a little late with a swinging arm and looks as if it's a bad one even if it actually isn't.

Would love to see him forget the distractions and funny business and concentrate on his rugby, could be International class as a modern type loose forward.

Would anybody be kind enough to translate this comment.

I think that's a fairly accurate summing up.

Bailey is, in my opinion, simply a thug in a rugby kit. He really is not super league quality, and every single time I see him, he does something disgusting and not in the spirit of the game, I'm not joking either with the every single time.

CC win, I forget which one, but on the last play of the game, he dropped all of his weight with a swinging arm to a prone Chris Riley on the ground. There were two incidents at Catalan, there was the instance he was about to lamp Richie Myler in the GF, during the match against Bradford the other week he came 3rd or 4th man in to a fight swinging punches, there he wasn't the only one, but he revelled in the fight and that's all he was interested in from then on. Those ones are just off the top of my head. I never actually see him make a break or lay one on. He had the chance to put Leeds in front at the 2010 CC final and rather than going for the line he decided he was going to run over Richie Mathers, a plan that failed spectacularly.

I just cannot abide the man.

I think you are an ideal candidate to undergo tests to investigate the irrational hatred for Bailey many opposition fans demonstrate. Is it mere delusion that makes you have this view of him or is it something more sinister? Would you mind if we slice you open to see what is the cause of your rage?

Classic Bailey

Re wirewirewire comment on never seeing bailey make a break: Catalan in the playoffs last yeah where he ran through Ian Henderson not once but twice

Clearly didn't see the playoff game against Catalan on our way to beating you in the GF. You would have seen a great run leading to a Leeds try. The game isn't all about flashy runs and bailey is a good defender

You have one or two thugs in your team too ,remember the unprovoked punch at Wembley?

Bailey is a good player, if he wasn't he wouldn't have been here for so long especially under experienced coaches.

Genuinely speaking I've seen worse from Ben Westwood who leads with his elbow, often lands on someone's face with his forearm and can't help but be a little late a lot of the time, but I don't think he's a dirty player (his disciplinary record is almost certainly worse than Bailey's though. Also wasn't it a Wire who planted an unprovoked punch on Kylie, and who tackled Sir Kev with his head?

You've got a very fragile glass house, I'd advise you not to throw stones...

That just about sums it up, game set and match I believe .

Seriously, did ANYBODY, let alone Bailey actually throw a meaningful punch in the melee with Bradford last week?

Bailey does no more of any of these things than half the other props in the league. He didn't invent the slightly late arrival on the opposition half back, the prop's high shot and certainly wasn't first to throw a punch on a rugby field.

There are plenty of dirtier players around.

Clueless blind T!T.
