Ryan Bailey : Wed Feb 17, 2016 9:09 pm  

i was dead against the signing at the time... but im really looking forward to his first game now.

Sounds like he has got rid of a few demons.... he was never the best prop in the world... But something is telling me we may be pleasantly surprised here.

IF he comes good and can do a decent stint, we will have one hell of a set of props

Hill
Sims
Dodds
Cox
Bailey

plus a few young guns

im actually quite looking forward to his debut

i could be wrong, and i may have been drunk at the time, but im sure i saw something that said he would be available in 2 weeks time

Re: Ryan Bailey : Wed Feb 17, 2016 10:05 pm  

HIs tweet the other day saying he was looking forward to going to the boxing in Liverpool March 12th suggests he won't be playing in perpignan.

Even if it's in 2 months time hopefully he will be good back up with cox. By then we may have injuries or the luxury of resting say hill or sims for a week to help keep players fresher towards the end of the season. He sounds very positive in the guardian and wants to show people he still has a lot to offer. TS knows him better than most.

Read his interview in the guardian yesterday and he's making all the right noises, looking forward to seeing him get on the pitch now.

We're already in a better place now than we were last year while Asotasi was here. Cox has a been decent so far, and if one or more of Bailey, Dodds and Evans start performing we'll have a strength in depth that we haven't had since 2011. Hopefully we can get them all fit and playing soon

I watched the SL show BBC interview he came across quite well with a little reflection admitting he knows what's expected and that he can't afford to mess up, a slightly different Bailey I suspect.

i like many others was pretty livid when he signed, since then he's kept his head down, occasionaly when asked, said the right things, then a few bits n pieces have come out, and i've softened slightly, theres a bit of empathy, lets give him a chance, then i saw the interview on the superleague show, and now i've realised he's got tattoos on his eyelids, he can mickey off again.



nah, not really.

He seemed to me to be quite a nice bloke under the pantomime villain we have come to expect & he seemed desperate for our fans to accept him when he finally trots out on the pitch.
