Bailey for me is lucky in the fact he is a decent prop that came to the fore at a time when he had some brilliant players around him. He could be the battering ram with a bit of added niggle because he didn't have to do owt else.

It is true we do need a couple of players to find the aggression levels and bump it up. No good just having brough and wardle charging in to hit owt that moves how about some of the ''giant' pack finding some grit this off season

Agree with Jools.

We do need more aggression in the pack. But it needs to be controlled aggression.

Who would Bailey hide behind after his cheap shots if he played for us? No Peacocks or Delaneys to defend him.

Our lot don't even defend our half backs.

Thank god we didn't get him.

We have mason....oh erm.... Odonnel...oh Erm....Fielden.....oh......kafusi.....nope this won't do! We lack in the defender/enforcer roll

Should get this from taai, Patrick, koppy, mull

Tbf Bailey would hide behind maguire or burrow if it saved his skin. Bailey isn't an aggressor on the pitch- he's a nasty piece of work. You only have to look at his Twitter account from time to time to know that Ken would not have him in C&G. The sort of bloke who's Twitter photo has him sticking two fingers up isn't what junior giants should be cheering on the pitch. Or the sort of guy threatening and belittling a woman because they've been dumped. Hull KR are welcome to him- let's hope they have a handle on their off field antics or Bailey could become a real thorn in their side. I doubt they will be capable of twisting the media as well as hetherington and co.

We did right to stay away from this piece of vermin. If bailey ever wore our colours I would seriously re-consider my position as a club sponsor and lifelong, and family, season ticket holder. Cannot stand the guy and it's not just because he played for Leeds!! Cheapshot, pick on the little man, third man in, that's bailey. I'll never ever forget the moment he ran into Shaun Briscoe who was playing FB and bailey was knocked out cold, SUPERB!!!!

patrick as an enforcer, we will never see that!

only ones who show aggression are brough, wardle and ferres in our team. sometimes cudjoe too.

patrick isnt an aggressive player, he is like crabtree in that sense.

Enforcers in any sport are not exactly made, they are born. If a player, for example in your own team, Crabtree, may have other qualities which make him a good, sometimes very good player, no one can teach him to be an enforcer....its just an instinct from within.

True. Its nothing to do with playing ability.
It's a nasty streak, pure and simple.

yep i agree, crabtree doesnt need to be aggressive, he more than makes up for it in his performances

Is Larne Patrick moving on? (Without trawling through the thread)

Not to anyone's knowledge

He's gone to Wigan and Giants are getting Jack Hughes in exchange and Taylor on loan for 2015

Well that's a poor looking trade imo

Still means Larne can play for England now
