Which for bailey = not having brainfarts which put the outcome in jeapardy. His performances in most big games are non descript.

What's that, nothing? You're right there then because no one else brings nothing, most players in the team bring something

but i think having somebody on your team who riles the opposition and gets under their skin can be a great asset

It can be a useful asset, but it's only a supplementary asset, something on the side. Bailey offers little else.

never more proved than in the last Grand Final against the Wire.

Takes someone out late in final minute when game is over and causes fight. Seriously? That his contribution to highlight?

Please don't leave bailey!

Flexwheeler,

you are of course entitled to your opinions but to call yourself a leeds fan (i am assuming you are) and to talk so dissmisively about a player who has given a decade of sterling service to the club is quite baffling TBH.

i am not proclaiming Bailey to be a superstar forward but when he knuckles down and does his job as a prop forward should which is making the hard yards and being solid in defence i believe he has done this.I presume this is also the thinking of the several coaches who have been in charge during Ryan's time at the club as he has always figured in the 17 in the big games , so for a player who brings nothing to the table how can this be.?

As i say, a true Leeds fan would show some respect and wish him well if he is going to take the challenge of going to the NRL, and thank him for his efforts over a decade of silverware laiden years.

IMO of course.

Agree BT whatever his faults or what opinions are of him in general he's done a good job for us overall and when on song has a tremendous work ethic and brings more good things to the team than bad imho.

Apt timing of this threads return. What with us facing Hull away on the last day of the regular season, last time that happened was in 2010 when a certain current Hull coach lost his cool and cost his team the match in an incident involving you-know-who.

He throws 4 punches at Bailey, who is on his hands and knees, misses with 3, grazes to top of Bailey's head with the other, gets sent off and his team lose. And yet cod botherers insist he 'owned' Bailey. Priceless.

Then the following season (IIRC) at Headingely he blasted past Radford (putting him on his-arse) then popped out a neat inside assist. Later followed by a try in the corner late on, pushing past Manu. Good stuff.
