Bailey/Forwards

Quote: thebloodbath "Ryan Bailey - How good is this guy? He rattles cages like no other in Super League. His huge, legal, shoulder charge laid the ineffective Maurie out. The fan fare afterwards was pathetic. He went in with the shoulder, and the Saints players who cried at that - get a grip. After the hit, Bailey stood straight up and stood his ground. Notice how no Saints player went toe-to-toe with him, just pudding Graham frothing at the mouth, 10m away. And when Graham did put him down, he was third man in when Bailey was static, yeah you showed him. And people say Bailey just does third man in. He was also unlucky when he drove himself into the un-tackled Saints player. I think the penalty was for him being too rough. Bless. He went down with his shoulder and massive body weight. I just get the feeling if it was JP that shoulder charged Maurie, for the same result, nothing would have been said. Bailey's hated by opposition players and fans. And I adore his gritty style, and I have a striong feeling that he loves it too. His huge hit dragged us back in the game, Saints were rattled and we edged our way back into it, thanks to Ryan Bailey. More of the same please Ryan.'"

Round of frkkkin applause. Bailey changed the game. Graham almost cost them it. Nobody seems to be able to see that. Whilst Bailey was busy playing and Graham was busy shouting from 15 metres away we pulled back to within 6. When Graham's tantrum was over and he got back to doing what he does he was excellent. He needs, however, to stop acting as an enforcer because he's going to get hurt if he messes with the real big boys like Ryan.

Reminds me of Fielden back in the day, cracking, almost unstoppable go-forward prop but when he tried to play big boy games he generally got his bottom smacked.

Classic Ryan!
