dont think it would be worth it

I can't see much value in it.

another thug? so lets have vella, the goon from cas and maybe sign ryan bailey too... a team full of dirty cowards is what we want please AG...

How the hell is Vella a cowardly thug, are you on drugs?

Are u right in the head Vella a thug go and have a word with yourself

Never had Vella down as a thug??

Thug = Bailey
Hard = Vella

Do not get the 2 confused.

excellent player and would be an asset to Trinity, but it sounds like he want to retire so probably for the best.

Amazing career given his health worries earlier in his career.

Well said.
Re health problems I shared his so that is why think so much about him as a player. He is hard as you say.

I wouldn't make a habit of agreeing with jonh, since it's likely to fuel his overbearing arrogance even further, but the above is about right for me.

Having said that - Bailey appears to have settled down a bit towards the back end of this season in terms of his housing and as a result, has probably played his best rugby for Leeds.

Overall, I'd say that hard is good whilst thuggery is just a distraction; Vella certainly falls into the former category for me.

The mind boggles, can't stand the sight of Vella but he's hard as nails and not a thug.

+1 all round for this, including the Bailey comment. Now that Coley is off the market I reckon Bailey should be in our sites - I know plenty would be up in arms if we did do but if we could get him back to either his early career form or his form of the last couple of months then we could be on a winner. Its just that middle 5 or 6 years we need to forget about.

As for Vella, has been a fantastic player and if he was 5 years ago he would be well worthy of a quota spot, but I think his best days are probably behind him and he has take the dignified exit of retiring whilst being close to his best.
