Disagree. He plays differently, maybe, but his PTB is a lot quicker now that he doesn't wrestle, gouge and claw his way to making maybe one extra metre per tackle which is, I suspect, what he's been told to do. My main criticism is that he could perhaps have a little more self belief and take it on from 1st receiver a bit more often. I don't think that this stems from laziness, cowardice or any of the other ridiculous traits attributed to him by some on here - he just seems unaware that he could be pretty much as good as any of our other props at doing this.

No ban for Bailey: www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplin ... php?id=718 Warning letter to be sent. Sensible decision, sloppy carry no more action needed to be taken.

Dunno, couldn't care really!

That'll be the steroids.

From the same website it seems that Chev may be missing on Friday, unless I've misunderstood the decision.

No decision has been made yet mate the 1-4 game ban are what the charge carries if found guilty.

I have never rated Bailey tbh much rather we kept Scruton and let the Bulls have Bailey.

He's our defensve prop. He's not there to make yards, break tackles, or offload. In all my days watching him I believe his offload count cannot be higher than 10. What he does is get round in defence, hits above his weight, and mixes it up. It's good to have him on to wind up the opposition and ensures that we'll have a chance in the scrap if it kicks off.



Personally I'd take a more allround prop like Scruton anyday of the week, but I'll go with the Leeds coaching staffs view on this one.

Bailey's forearm was very similar to the one Mathers got sent off for (from memory raised into the same player I believe) last season V Wakey only that time it was Wakey referee Thaler in charge.



Was Thaler right or was Ganson right? or did Mathers thugish tendencies go against him as compared to the angelic reputation of the Leeds no.16?

Whino fekkwittism at its' best.

The lad needs to stick to farming spots, he knows nowt about RL.

Or stick to bleating about how he goes to Leeds Met.
