means close the door on the way out.

bailey frustrates me as he produces some great games but not on a regular enough basis. the skill is there, i just hope he does it more consistently this year

Poot wood in hole = close door.

Nothing to do with putting any other "wood" in any other holes, which would be a strange request to make when asking someone to leave the premises.

Ah is that how you 'spell' it???

The campaign stubbornly continues.

I've got yer back bro!


We'll educate these nincompoops and non believers!

Oh I do like a good colloquialism, I shall endevour to shoehorn that into every conversation that I have with Ms. pmh this weekend.

As to Bailey, as an opposition fan he appears to me to offer something different to your other forwards. Good at bringing the ball out as he more often than not gets a quick ptb, mobile, niggly and hits well and often in defence.

All things a prop's supposed to have and do, the only thing I'd be tempted to change would be to start with him, he seems a lean fit lad that could get through more work than his minutes on the pitch allow and therefore use Kylie for impact.

You've no business posting on here.

You obviously understand Rugby League too much.

Kudos.

What has all that got to do with Leeds having better options than Bailey in their 2010 squad?

Sorry, I'll get back to posting mindless drivel elsewhere.

Two simples rules on southstander.com regarding players.

One bad word against Bailey and you’ll get Thebloodbath onto you.

One bad word about McShane and TheJoker will come and have a few words with you.

It shows he's rated no matter who we have in the squad!!

And put a Leeds postcode (preferably LS6) to keep on the good side of the Postcode police.

It proves he was picked in the packs before the signing of Eastwood and the young forwards in the off season.

My point is that in my opinion he will struggle to get in a fully fit Leeds team in 2010. What happened in different squads 2/3/4/5/6 years ago has little bearing on that.

Are you still here?

you must be worried. mind you i would be worried if i had your pack

I'd worry about your own breed if I were you.

Pu t'wood in t'oil on way art ol't luv.

How very quaint.

Cheers homie.

The fight against bigotry will never be won. But I will fight nevertheless.

And it's a perfectly reasonable and valid point to make.

Hopefully the added competition will bring the best out of Bailey as he looks to secure his future beyond the 2010 season.

There's a few of your own on the thread leaving him out of your strongest 17 by the way, you might want to get yourself a nice big meal before fighting the bigots on all fronts.

I suppose we can revisit at the end of the year and check out his appearance record and lucrative new contract, I may well be proved wrong.

The squad changes. Like they all do.

Forwards are signed, forwards are released.

Players like Eastwood come in.

But they also leave (Ward/Thackary/Adamson/Poching etc).

But what has been the constant throughout these changes??

Bailey has still played.

Yes he's had better seasons than others, and played more games than other years. But the coaching staff pick him for the recent big game winners medals. He is regarded by me and by the coaching staff.

He's been with us nearly 10 years, listening to some on here you would think that.

Between you and me mate, there's a few k-nobs in 'my own'.



As for his contract - I have minimal interest in that. What he earns is what he earns. I wouldn't put my contract up here for discussion so I will offer Mr Bailey the same respect.

Appreciate all that and would remind you that I was offering an opinion as to whether Bailey will be part of a fully fit Leeds team in 2010 and whether he will get a new contract.

Not whether he is better than Wayne McDonald or Jamie Thackray or how long he has been with the club.
