According to Rogues, Jamie Foster has also criticised Ryan Bailey, calling him an idiot on local radio.

I wonder how McNamara is going to handle it. The last thing England need is the players fighting internally.

Who's childish?! I'm sure if they won, they would never dare celebrate! Next they'll be complaining that Hardaker celebrated after scoring a try in his debut season on the biggest stage in super league!

Sore losers!

Wilkin is the biggest child in the land, going crying to the media.

Bailey did nothing wrong. Just getting in the Loser Wilkin's head.

Having problems with big bullies Mr. Wilkin,then dial this number-0800 101010.
Thats 0800 won nothing won nothing won nothing.

The ultimate flat track bully should be nowhere near a test jumper. Aussies & Kiwis will rip him to shreds. Bailey, on the other hand, should be good value.

Jamie Foster needs to learn how to show some class in that case - running to the press criticising someone else for being childish is the ultimate in irony. Still, when you think it's cool to pose with your shirt off on your Facebook page you can hardly be expected to be a paragon of professional behaviour.

If any of the Saints players have a problem with being in the same England squad as one of the form props in the competition, they know where the door is. Given their previous levels of performance in England jerseys, they won't be missed.

Bailey was celebrating whilst Sinfield lined up the final conversion at the same time behind the posts Graham was consoling a clearly distraught Makinson.
Now Baileys arm waving abd dancing is clearly aimed at the Leeds fans behind the sticks whether or not something happened elswhere i don't know.
I also noticed Bailey teasing Foster and giving him verbals as he lined up his penalty from half-way again i don't know about anything else with this player.
Also Saddened as much as i admire Graham and his undoubted Warrior efforts he loved winding up the crowd when he scored and on more than 1 occasion Bails has been well and truly in his face and give him the same as he does everyone else so this talk of "targetting kids" is a myth and tired old responses whenever he's played and got under someones skin.

At the end of the day who is going to feel like a t-it when Wilkin and Bailey cross paths?

Wilkin's hissy fit has created a bit of a needless sand-storm.

But let's not let him detract away from a great personal level of achievement for Ryan Bailey.

He is in the England squad on merit, he has been one of the form props of the competition and like Leeds has got better as the season wore on.

As called by some of the more reasoned posters on here.

Just to think he was side-lined for 6 months at the start of the season and couldn't even run. So a great turn-around.

Will add some speed and niggle to the front line attack and in defence will stop them dead.

Some people will always try and knock you down, so people can moan, stamp their feet or even raise a knee. But that doesn't change a thing -

Ryan Bailey - England Squad.

Classic Bailey

The thing for me is, whether you agree with Bailey's alleged actions or not there are ways - as an adult - of dealing with them.

Saying at the time "come on mate, wind your neck in a bit" is acceptable. Speaking in private to the relevant clubs with your concerns after the match is acceptable.

Waiting until two days afterwards, dropping "teasers" on Twitter as to the nature of your comments to be in the press then using that bastian of wondrous journalism The Sun to call other professionals "childish" is really not the way to go about things and all it succeeds in doing is make your point appear to be sour grapes rather than a valid concern with a player's behaviour.

It isn't the first time Jon Wilkin has seen fit to appear a poor loser after the Grand Final. As I have said on twitter today he really is the original boy who cried whinge

Where do people get this from? How many times have heard this "he wouldn't do it to Jammer" $hit?? Who has this crank ever chinned like? Remember the League game at Knowsley Road in 2009 when Bailes smashed Mauri and Graham was giving it the big un? Exactly what did he do apart from come in 3rd man and knock him over? Give it a rest.

perhaps i'm a bit bias'ed where Bailey is concerned [ I dont like the guy]
but what is plain to see is the way he is quite enthusiastic confronting small players, but exits stage left at a rate of knots when there's a rumble with the big guys, If he manages to get into an england shirt , I for one will look forward to him roughing up the Ozzie props
