As this is the St Helens game thread Bailey took in Leeds' third carry on their first set of possession - just after the minute mark ....... but if you're talking the Wigan game it was 16 minutes 33 seconds or therabouts before he got his hands on the ball. He did however run in three times as a decoy - often difficult to tell with Leeds whether those runs were by design or by accident but if deliberate it's an effort that gets ignored in the stats.
