Which is great news for Bailey as there are tougher team mates for him to hide behind when the going gets rougher after his cheap shots, and more talented players to win him the medals.

Nobody in this thread has accused any other Leeds player of being a talentless cheap shot artist so its hardly a club thing.

Craig Kopzcak, Luke Burgess, Nick Fozzard, Nick Scruton, Bryn Hargreaves, Paul Prescott, Keith Mason, Paul Wood, Ricky Bibey and David Mills.


Alot of them questionable yes, but we've all got time to debate as its christmas




Yeah, and Merry christmas by the way

Scruton,Mason and i bet Hargreaves are on more money than Bailey,Kopzcak has done jack sh#t,Mills and Bibey


Wood is biscuit boned and Fozzard is well past it.
Prescott has looked pretty decent when i've seen him but i wouldn't have him over bailey either.
That leaves young Luke Burgess who has got great potential and is maturing well but is still short in terms of Baileys ability,agility and consistency,plus they are different types of props.

dont fall into the trap of doing what you are criticizing others for doing re; bailey. whilst having a relatively poor penultimate season at wakey, his first and last we pretty decent all in all and for what is likely to have been peanuts. always onto hands and knees, quick play the ball, always willing to take it in and not bad hands either. he will be given a decent reception if he ever plays aginst us i would imagine

I was just responding to ewennorfolk mate re-his list of 10 props comparing to bailey and i know exactly what yer saying!!

I doubt Hargreaves is, and I imagine Mason won't be too much over. Kopzcak put in some quality performances for us last season, and has age on his side. Mills, again, bags of potential. Okay, Bibey and Fozzard maybe not, but Prescott I would take over Bailey and I'd have a think about Wood.
