Well done to Wilkin i say. Lima's tackling technique at the start of the season was a disgrace. And he has started doing it again at the back end of the season. He did a really bad one on Jonny Lomax in the 65th min of the game at the Stobart and got away with it. Thing is, he knows what hes doing and will keep doing it as long as he keeps getting away with it.

Bailey has had a very good season. I think people's judgements on him are very much clouded by their hatred towards him.
I admit he can be a bit of a tool at times but any incident he is involved in or even in close proximity with he is castigated by totally conflicting and hysterical outbursts. He gets called a coward when he punches people, he gets called a coward if he doesn't punch somebody. The elbow drop on Riley was absolutely ridiculous by the way and i cringed when he did it but he's also handed out a fairshare to big "hard" players aswell.

Being a former prop myself, I've always appreciated the enforcers of the game. Boyd, Barrie Mac, Brian Mac, O'Connor, Farrell, Cowie, Skerrett, Morley, Gee, Tallis, Webke, Nikau. But one thing separates these legends from Bailey, it's only ever the little guy he picks on, and when it all kicks off, he's the first one out of the back door, hiding behind a wall of players, pointing. Look back to some of our more "successful" (used very loosely), challenges at TriNations, and you'll find that we used to get in there and ruffle them good and proper, nice British hardnut stuff, always a scrap involving Scully, Faz, Fielden etc, lifted the crowd, team, and got the oppo distracted. This for me, is what we're lacking currently in the national setup. If Bailey could standup to the big men, he could be, quite literally, a useful tool. A minor mentalist if you will, willing to do our dirty bidding, but the annoying thing is, he doesn't have the minerals.

Exactly!

like?

I;ve seen him pick on small people and hide (in fact, he did that not a week ago)

Jon Wilkin is to share a room with Ryan Bailey in the England camp according to McNamara. Surely this is a wind up?

That's what you want, them settling their differences over a best of three on Streetfighter II.

'Hadouken'.

There'd still be complaints by Wilkin that button bashin' ain't fair!

Wont be true
But I've got images of Steve Martin and John Candy in Planes Trains and Automobiles in my head, now

Both of them should be nowhere near an England shirt.

Is this from the spoof twitter account set up in his name?

Nope, was tweeted by Yorkshire RL radio page.

Excellent post

According to Sky they're all loved up now aaahh.
