Like was said a few posts ago, not many forward OOC and at a time when we are spending our cap/overseas spots on pivotal players it will mean taking a couple of british forwards and someone like Bailey could fit the bill.

Are you all fecking mad. Bailey is one of the biggest to55pots in rl and you all slate him then suddenly he might be signing for us and you all think hes mr wonderful. Fickle...............................

Not one person has said he is wonderful, a cracking player etc. Just discussing the situation of needing a british forward or two and would Bailey be worth a crack.

Read the posts!

heard today fitz has signed for widnes

Get down off that high horse. Who's said he's wonderful? Who's actually said they want him here? I'll give you a clue...nobody. We need to sign 2 British forwards, Bailey was offered up as a suggestion, not a rumour. Look on the VT at clubs ooc players, for the tosspot Bailey is he's probably the best prop ooc, except maybe Peacock.

Me too. I've signed for Widnes. 3 yr deal

Radford certainly thought so .

FWIW, I would maybe bring him in as 5th choice prop but would be disappointed if he was one of our first choice 4.

MAYBE Peacock?? What planet are you on? Bailey isn't fit to clean Peacocks boots. Shyt, massive bag of wind that has never run his weight, and has a poor tackling technique.

From the list I'm looking at (not sure if it's up to date), I'd rate the following OOC forwards as better than Bailey...

Carvell
Solomona
Mitchell
Wilkes
Mason
Coley
O'Carroll
Prescott
Burgess
Peacock
Kirke

Actually...the list is too long for me to continue. I basically think most the backs on the list are better props than Bailey too.

Bradford Bulls
Shaun Ainscough, Gareth Raynor, Chev Walker, Dave Halley, Vinny Finigan, Liam McAvoy 

Castleford Tigers
 Kirk Dixon, Danny Orr, Paul Jackson, Brett Ferres, Stuart Jones, Nick Fozzard, Martin Aspinwall, Nathan Massey, Jordan Thompson

Catalan Dragons
Clint Greenshields,  Cyril Stacul, Thomas Bosc, Sebastien Raguin, Gregory Mounis, Tony Gigot

Harlequins RL Chris Melling, Andy Ellis, Chad Randall, Rob Purdham, Danny Ward, Oliver Wilkes, David Williams

Huddersfield Giants
Lee Gilmour, David Hodgson, Graeme Horne, Keal Carlile, Gregg McNally 

Hull Kingston Rovers
Mick Vella, Ben Fisher, Shaun Briscoe, Liam Colbon, Ben Cockayne, Matt Cook, Dave Peterson, Sam Latus 

Leeds Rhinos
Keith Senior, Jamie Peacock, Ryan Bailey, Ian Kirke, Callum Casey

Salford City Reds
Ryan Boyle, Stefan Ratchford, Rob Parker 

St Helens Ade Gardner, Leon Pryce, Gareth Frodsham, Tom Armstrong 

Wakefield Wildcats
 Matt Blaymire, Aaron Murphy, Luke George, Michael Korkidas, Paul King, Chris Dean, Dale Morton, Ben Gledhill, James Davie

Warrington Wolves
Jon Clarke, Lee Mitchell, Tyrone McCarthy

Wigan Warriors Andy Coley, Ben Davies, Stefan Marsh, Karl Pryce, Eamon O'Carroll.

Their the off quota/non fed.

Add Flanaghan and Worrincy.

Well, out of the ones you've listed 4 have re-signed for there clubs, at least one is retiring and one has just signed for an NRL club.
If you think people like Wilkes are better than Bailey then I'm glad you're not in charge of our recruitment.

not much quality to choose from on that list is there?! I expect the obvious ones to stay with their clubs but apart from the likes of Peacock etc....

i'd take Stefan Ratchford and Andy Coley but can't really see that happening

Coley's retiring.
