| Quote ="Gotcha"I used to fall for this argument aswell. And to an extent it was actually true for the most time. But times have changed. When even Barrie McDermott on national television was embarrassed by Bailey's actions on the field, then you really have to take notice of it. Look at the comments of other coaches and players alike, they don't seem to fit in any longer with this view of Bailey offering something.
I hold my hands up, personally I won't be giving a single penny to his testimonial. Not because of him personally, but as I have constantly posted on here, testimonials are too easy to come by these days. Peacock earned it, Sinfield earned it. Some others haven't IMO.'"
Jeez, you're a difficult man to please.
Can't we just reward someone who's played the toughest team sport known to man for over ten years for the same club? Regardless of who it is, I believe some recognition should be give for such an achievement.

What's the achievement? Playing the toughest team sport? Or playing for one club for 10 years? They are both seperate.
Like I said the in a salary capped sport where players have specific squad roles, and where the club are better off by having own developed players, the 10 year thing is not what it was before the salary rules were introduced. It will happen more, and would certainly be more noticeable where a team has a period of dominance.

| The club trained allowance in the salary cap has only been in force for a couple of years and there are plenty of other players who would probably be used in that allowance of £50k max. Leeds salary cap allowance would not be affected if Bailey were moved on (other than freeing up Bailey's actual salary). It would also not affect Leeds on the Club Trained squad rules either, since Leeds easily make that quota.

| Its always been custom and practice that 10 years service qualifies a player for a testimonial

| Clubs are only marginally better off from having home grown players in terms of salary cap, but they are potentially be worse off with the risk they carry by developing their own players. Why do you think it's so preferable for home grown players gotcha

| If Bailey could play on until he's around 37, in Leeds colours he would be due another testimonial for 20 years service.
At which point Gotcha's head would pop.

Actually wrong. That would be good service.
In reality, take a Peacock or a Morley all over again. There is always the possibility that they could do 10 years with two seperate clubs. That is what I find silly.
A player should be rewarded at the end of his career and only at that point.

| 2015 will presumably be Carl Ablett's testimonial year then? First team debut July 2004.

| I think he should be given a testmonial anyway, no matter how long he's been at Leeds purely for the comedy value of watching half the Warrington players chase him round Old Trafford at the end of the Grand Final !!

Probably an iconic example of Ryan Baileys unorthodox contribution to the team effort.

It may be a full team, however I think Hunslet would give the team a better warm up than the Broncos squad at present.

| Since 2004 there has more or less been a testimonial just about every year and most of them are still playing.So if the testimonial was left till the end of their careers they would be drwaing their state pension
