yes you've guessed it 0.039. Which will still be higher than Jamie Matthiou at 0.029.

I get what you mean now, but wasnt what I meant. He hasnt scored for a few years now and if that continues and he continues to play then he will end up below Mathiou.

There is that better

But his strike rate for the last 3 years isn't 0.039. So if he follows the next 3 years the same rate of scoring as his last 3, then the rate will come down.

If Bailey's rate of scoring is above Mathiou's how will he be below Mathiou by the end of his Leeds career.

Bailey didn't score at all in 2009, 2010 or so far in 2011 so he's perfectly right to say if he carries on in that fashion he'll finish behind Mathiou.

when Ferdy quoted the strike rate provided for Bailey

If he'd said "At Bailey's current rate of scoring" that would have been more subjective and open to interpretation.

As clarified earlier that is infact what i meant. if bailey continues as he has for the last few years he will be below mathiou.

Thanks for being pedantic though!

Not being pedantic and you might note that my only reply after your clarification was to a point raised by Gotcha.

You quoted figures and made a comment. if your comment was not meant to reflect the quoted figures then you should have clarified. If you didn't don't blame someone elsre for having issue with your statement.

That worked out pretty well I thought.

All I can add is:

Classic Bailey

It's my major issue with a prop's quality. Try scoring ration.

No, really it is.

Don't think he's actually scored a try since 2007...closest he's come is probably the Cup Final last year

Ryan Bailey's 9 tries for Leeds:

13/03/2004 ..... CC ..... St Helens ..... Knowsley Road ..... Appearance Number 36
08/10/2004 ..... PO ..... Wigan ..... Headingley ..... Appearance Number 60
07/08/2005 ..... SL ..... Leigh ..... Hilton Park ..... Appearance Number 85
07/08/2005 ..... SL ..... Leigh ..... Hilton Park ..... Appearance Number 85
05/03/2006 ..... SL ..... Castleford ..... Headingley ..... Appearance Number 96
26/05/2006 ..... SL ..... Bradford ..... Odsal ..... Appearance Number 108
16/02/2007 ..... SL ..... Hull ..... Headingley ..... Appearance Number 124
16/03/2007 ..... SL ..... Wakefield ..... Belle Vue ..... Appearance Number 128
20/07/2007 ..... SL ..... Wakefield ..... Headingley ..... Appearance Number 144

That was 89 Bailey appearances ago which represents his longest wait to add to his tally.
