I may be wrong but i think it was at the Elland Road test when David Waite was GB coach and he played Centre and either scored a try on the outside of his opposite number, or got the outside line and put his wingman away beautifully.

When it was announced we were signing him this image sprung to mind sadly it was the last time i ever saw it.

I think it was at the JJB Stadium, Wigan when he somehow managed to make Keith Senior look like a world beater, Bailey in the centres =

Didn't Bailey also score in that match?

Crap, no tries for us on the right side and we will still let at least 1 in there. Great move

Yeah I suppose I should have clarified my self.

Bailey playing right centre means that we shall not score any tries, as Bailey has an aversion to passing, making breaks or just moving fast in general. Also I would rate his defense as different to Gouldings, but not better. Anyone faster than the average second rower can run rings around him, and also doesnt help out other players very much and would require ordering around, whereas Gouldings positioning is just as poor (too far out as opposed to too far in usually IIRC), but is fast enough to recover, and also can (occasionally) finish off a move. Bailey is a poor player and has no future as you dont improve at his age - Goulding will.

Indeed. It would be easier to read this than some of Fredie's finest work.
