Alot of racism on this thread.

I also think Gardner and Meli are rubbish, so I'm proper racist - that's three people I think are rubbish who aren't white.

I thought Barry Ward was pretty poop too, and if you squinted from the terraces he looked a bit like a fat chinaman.

I remember when we were at Headingly last season, he came on, touched the ball once, yes, once, and then went off.

Even Feka puts in more of a stint than that.

ahhhhhahahahahahaha

I'm struggling to find any racist comments, care to point them out?

Do you remember the last 3 GF'S when he played a part in dismantling the "mighty S"

Damo that shoulder barge is the worst kind of attack apart from a deliberate punch/knee/head butt, If you have played the game you know the reason why its done and if like a well aimed punch its consequences, the sooner this sort of "non tackle" is deemed illegal the better, no attempt is made in that or another shoulder barge to tackle a player it is banned in RU as they understand why it is done. No skill is needed to perform it; maybe that’s why bailey is obviously good at it!!!!!!!

what an absolutely hilarious thread!

Can we put an end to it by simply saying everyone in everyone's team is the hardest and fairest and every player you have or have ever had is a 'true' RL hardman even when they have been guilty of idiotic, thuggish or cowardly acts. And everyone in everyone elses team is simply thuggish and cowardly

Probably why you've lost the last 3 grand finals.

Do you not grasp the fact that you would have been even better over the past few years with another player in his shirt? You lot suggest he was 'immense' in the GF, when in fact he did bob all as usual.

Leeds are an incredible side, Bailey is your worst player by an incredible distance. I'll be shocked if he's still in the 17 with your pack all fit.

Check the thugs stats. They are comparable with those heavyweights of the prop world, Paul King and Craig Huby

Would that be the same "shoulder barge" that everyone creamed over SBW delivering in the WCC at Elland Road to Marcus Bai? You know, the one that left Bai concussed. I seem to remember the majority view at the time being that it showed how rock hard and brilliant Williams was.

Those who go on about Bailey "being a thug" and "hiding" in that game might want to watch the next couple of minutes after the incident with Fa'asavalu. IIRC the next Leeds set Saint Kieron of Pukka attempts to twist a Leeds player's head off in a grapple. Leeds kick to touch and first up from the tap restart is Bailey, who runs 20 yards infield to go straight at James Graham who had been doing his usual jaw flapping.

Doesn't sound like a player who "goes hiding" to me, but hey what would I, Tony Smith, Brian McLennan and David Waite (IIRC - think Waite was in charge when Bailey played for GB) know about it compared to you folks?

Dont forget the other myth that Bailey was "taught a lesson" by Sculthorpe, what actually happened was that Sculthorpe punched him several times off the ball whilst Bailey kept his cool and didnt retaliate, then the coward referee did nothing to sculthorpe because it was at Knowsley Road
