I observed at least 5 tackles as "third man in" having come from the full back position. I reckon he did about 4 one on one tackles near his own try line, one of them involving a "head butt simulation".
Its not hard too have "no miss tackles" when yours mates are in there first doing all the work. Not sure if the swinging arm on Riley at the end was counted as a tackle though.

Factor in his failure to score in the first 4 minutes and it wasn't a good day for the prodigal son mr bailey.

Never has a player offered so little, yet recieved so many plaudits.

Don't think Ryan has scored a try for about 3 years if I remember rightly.

He's a prop so that's not his job.

But any player will be expected to convert into tries when they get the opportunity bailey did.

He's a prop so his job is to put in the hard yards. But he doesn't do much of that either.

He does apparently ''wind the opposition up'' though.

He has one of the lowest stats for a prop forward in Superleague for "offloads" as well, so he's not much good in that department either. He's got 3 grand final rings though for very little effort.

Careful now son.

The clique on here like bailey. You don't want to go having a different opinion to them.

Someone is going to press the McLaren_Field Button any time now as we speak. As Mr Bailey heads off to another 10 page thread.

Everyone has an opinion, everyone is free to state it here.

Everyone is free to challenge it too but if you present your opinion sensibly then there will be no problems.

The problems start when people don't like having their opinion challenged - thats insecurity.

You only have to look at our left centre to see the importance of helping out your team mates in a tackle, wether that is 3rd man or 5th man.

Would I rather have Ryan Bailey making 29 tackles as 3rd man with no misses, or would I rather have Keith Senior making 12 tackles and the rest of the time watching his team mates as 3 tries are scored against you.

Re: Ryan Bailey : Thu Sep 02, 2010 7:38 am  

The dregs on here had an opportunity to critique Bailey and give him both barrels and keep their credibility at the same time.

It wasn't his finest hour. Solid in the tackle. But didn't lay a platform going forward. He let himself down. Anyone can call that.

Some have posted reasonable debate, but others (the longer the thread has gone on) seem to have delved into moronic, 'tard like, fools. Who are over-joyed by his none performance.

Were you waiting for this day??

Why would you want to bask in this 'glory' ?

After an impressive season I suppose you are over-due to stick the boot in.

Get your fix..........enjoy your fix.

Why is this treatment just handed out to Mr Bailey? I could count another dozen players in Leeds shirts that could be afforded the same brain dead responses. There have been whispers about Kylie, chuckles about Kirke........but what about the rest???

And people talk about my fixations.............................................
