And put a Leeds postcode (preferably LS6) to keep on the good side of the Postcode police.

It proves he was picked in the packs before the signing of Eastwood and the young forwards in the off season.

My point is that in my opinion he will struggle to get in a fully fit Leeds team in 2010. What happened in different squads 2/3/4/5/6 years ago has little bearing on that.

Are you still here?

you must be worried. mind you i would be worried if i had your pack

I'd worry about your own breed if I were you.

Pu t'wood in t'oil on way art ol't luv.

How very quaint.

Cheers homie.

The fight against bigotry will never be won. But I will fight nevertheless.

And it's a perfectly reasonable and valid point to make.

Hopefully the added competition will bring the best out of Bailey as he looks to secure his future beyond the 2010 season.

There's a few of your own on the thread leaving him out of your strongest 17 by the way, you might want to get yourself a nice big meal before fighting the bigots on all fronts.

I suppose we can revisit at the end of the year and check out his appearance record and lucrative new contract, I may well be proved wrong.

The squad changes. Like they all do.

Forwards are signed, forwards are released.

Players like Eastwood come in.

But they also leave (Ward/Thackary/Adamson/Poching etc).

But what has been the constant throughout these changes??

Bailey has still played.

Yes he's had better seasons than others, and played more games than other years. But the coaching staff pick him for the recent big game winners medals. He is regarded by me and by the coaching staff.

He's been with us nearly 10 years, listening to some on here you would think that.

Between you and me mate, there's a few k-nobs in 'my own'.



As for his contract - I have minimal interest in that. What he earns is what he earns. I wouldn't put my contract up here for discussion so I will offer Mr Bailey the same respect.
