IMO deacon will be in with MM missing out if Piggy's diet goes to plan.

What does Bailey offer off the bench?

Speaking of fat camp, couldn't help but laugh at the cheap shot at Feka in the Engage competition now on the Wigan website.

Rotational sub for 11, 12 or 13 as required.

Also:

If we lose Phelps, Richards to FB, Carmont to wing, Bailey to centre.
If we lose Richards/Roberts, Carmont to wing, Bailey to centre.
If we lose Gleeson or Carmont, Bailey to centre.
If we lose Sam, Lockers/Gleeson to 6, Bailey to cover.
If we lose Tommy, Sam to 7, Lockers/Gleeson to 6, Bailey to cover.

Deacon, Leuluai, Tomkins and McIlorum were doing the kicking at training the other day so maybe Deacon could be feature more as a player than we think?

It could also mean that Deacon is giving a bit of coaching to those three.

That can all happen if he is on the field though.

Eh?

The original question was what does Bailey offer from the bench and you gave a load of reasons that would benfit us just as much as if he was on the field, my point being that he is better starting IMO as he can still be swapped around different positions but offers no impact off the bench. I would rather keep one of our best organisers on the field for the longest amount of time.

I get you now.

A regular spot for Bailey will do nothing but delay the progress of Mossop and Farrell.

If he is used properly he will help develop Mossop and Farrell.
