lets make a comparrison; whos disciplinary record is the worst, morley peacock or bailey?

it isnt Bailey, but fans dont like him because he does it cheap. morley and peacock never take a backwards step and usually do it in an honest fashion.

i never said i had anything agaisnt bailey, just explained why fans dont like him! every team has a dirty niggling little b******, fans just dont like Bailey doing it because he's a prop and he acts the big man. he should look at how peacock goes about, thats a real prop.

interested to note Barry's comments about Bailey in the GF re run last night

which where...?

Yes but Bailey's not white is he? Doesn't know his place does he?

Do you realise how stupid you are? You post something that indicates Peacock and Morley have worse discipline but you and other fans "just don't like him".

You can't elucidate your reasoning with any actual events so it becomes even clearer what is underlying in this Bailey hatred so many suffer from.

I agree G1.

he gets stuck in - rattles the opposition and their fans.

Its' been hinted at by Mr Heron's face hair and other posters and I think the evidence is gathering.

Like-able enforcers with far, far, far worse records than baileys' seem to have the underlying respect of the RLFans community. Ask them about Morley or Barrie Mac and they were nice big cuddly white enforcers. They think Peacock, who has started two fights and been lucky to receive only two yellow cards THIS SEASON, is to be admired for not taking liberties.

But when an uppety Ryan Bailey gets above his station and starts doing what he is paid to do, be an enforcer in the Leeds pack, it's just not cricket. They hate his dirty play, they hate his cheap shots, they despise his acts of thuggery but when you break it all down he doesn't play dirty, he doesn't take cheap shots and his disciplinary record is one of the best in the league.

I am afraid there is no other logical explanation for the feelings Ryan invokes in opposition fans so when the racists posts their racism I intend to call them on it.

lets get this right:

you think that fans dislike for Ryan Bailey is purely racially motivated?!

he isn't the only black player in the leeds team is he?

i think when he first came on the scene everyone had high hopes for him as a gb prop and he did well. but when his form dropped this niggly side came into his game. he's prob playing his best rugby for a long time now, so we've not seen as much of it. trouble is he's made the rep and he's got to live with it

I am starting to, yes. I've given you every opportunity to quantify your hatred some other way but you've failed to do so.

No. I bet you have friends who are black don't you?

What rep? What has he done? Give me some specific examples? What has he done to "earn" this rep, beyond being a hard, black prop forward in a dominant Leeds team?

He plays it hard. And by what Bloodbath says always has. Wish Bradford had him to be honest. His run and then around to Graham should prove something to the doubters. Plus he upsets the opposition forwards from their game plan. Made the game go up a few gears too for the neutral.

Good lord! Where did you quote that from?


Regarding Bailey's rep....

There will always be those who will bring up his stretch inside.

And as for this race card, you really are scraping the barrell.

He'd be no good at Bradford, just look at Scruts!

this may be covered in the thread but

Bailey has played for 3 (?) coaches at the club, who all pick him most weeks when fit - some people must rate him, think he offers good value for whatever he is paid.

scruton

You see, you've got that all wrong. Him going sideways looking for Graham proves he's soft, because he had to go behind Leeds players to get there. Forget the fact he was deliberately picking out an already rattled opponent, that's was just a clever smokescreen on Ryan's part.

OK with that?
