Quote: FearTheVee ""Star import"? Very average. But just as average as some of the muck in the St Helens squad this year.

Look closer to home before spouting off!

Quite right

All saints players are average, they are just made to look good by the, erm, average players around them.

Bailey wouldnt get in Castlefords team, let alone the team head and shoulders above everyone else.

Good, this is the kind of average import we don't need in SL.

Except our muck is top of the league m'dear.

Bailey wouldn't get anywhere near Saints' mucky backrow.

Um...no.

Bailey is probably one of the better players in the Wigan squad but does that really matter? He is competing against Poms!

He's so limited it's untrue, dread to think what they're paying him.

Perhaps he would consider playing like one of the better players from time to time.

Good workhorse - yes. Defence - pretty good. Other than that, he rarely shows hands or much sparkle in attack.

As much as I like Phil Bailey - he's an honest player, at least - we should only be aiming for outstanding imports and not workhorses.

Its alright though he'll go back to the NRL and be a stand out player like (34? year old) Darren Smith, 33 year old Craig Smith, and a crocked past it Jason Smith, and lets not forget the likes of Colin Best, a crocked Robbie Mears, and that prop who was total gash for Leigh, whom managed to get in contention for origin...

True. Shame he never did the same for us. We got him a bit too late I'm afraid.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg

He should be if NRL clubs are interested in him - but he will only be competing against some very average Aussies - if SOO 2 was anything to go by - so who cares, not the loss to SL that Barrett or Lyon were - did I see these two SL rejects getting a run out mid week in the biggest game on the planet!!!! icon_biggrin.gif

How wide of the mark can you be. Do they not get Superleague matches in Chorley?

Bailey is pretty average. He is a player that if the Aussie selectors had any sense we would not have let anywhere near a test shirt. Wigan are pretty unlikely to offer him a new contract.
