As a Wigan fan I'm really happy about this move. You always want Bailey to get snotted but it's hard for the players to afford him too much attention because there's so many quality players to worry about at Leeds. Against you guys it shouldn't be a problem to focus on smashing him about and still come out with the win. I think he's in for a really bad time next season

Bookmarked.

If Wigan concentrate on playing rugby you might win a trophy next season.

True enough, we normally do! Bailey used to be useful at Leeds pre-2013 as a distraction, so the quality players had more room to manoeuvre and the opposition give away penalties. I just can't see it working the same way at Hull KR

Re: Ryan Bailey DONE DEAL : Sat Nov 01, 2014 6:36 pm  

Bailey was very good value for money at Leeds. The idea that he is a penalty machine is laughable. Teams like bitter Wigan, Hull and, most memorably, Warrington in a Grand Final, managed to get preposterously distracted by his ability to (legally) wind them up. One of his most succesful roles at Leeds was to win penalties and he certainly won more than he ever gave away. The TMFMISL tag is an ironic reference to the unhinged loathing fans of clubs like Wigan have for Leeds' third or fourth choice prop - entirely disproportionate to the role he played or any so-called dirty play beyond that you would expect from a prop.

But he was never on the big money some of his team-mates were at Leeds and, having had his testimonial and finally completed his club medal collection he now gets the chance to be a leader and earn the money someone with his CV probably deserves.
