Not only that, but he has played in every Grand Final & Challenge Cup Final that Leeds have been in while at the club - and every World Club Challenge bar one as well (he missed this year's game through injury).

Not bad going that, for someone who is "not Super League quality"

Yet you'll kiss Ben Westwood's poop-chute? Must be some other reason for your hatred. Hmm!

I'm one of the very few opposition fans who have stuck up for Bailey over the years. Yes he is an annoying bugger who plays to the limit (and sometimes beyond). However every really good team I've ever seen has always had one of his type in their side.
My favourite memory of Bailey was when he and Gaz Hock got stuck into the Aussie academy side (they had never been beaten until then) at Knowsley Road in an U18's game. The Aussie lads didn't like it and finished up in tears and defeat at the end of the game. In the second game at Headingley, a few days later they gave them some more.

Yes,but you know what your talking about,when your being serious.We are all waiting for wire wire wire to come back on on

Rogues is highlighting two players there - Bailey and Hock.

Most of the fans defending Bailey's antics will probably be among the first to criticise Hocks - such is life in the one eyed world of fans.

Hock and Westwood are great forwards, Bailey could be if he concentrated more on the rugby and less on the panto.

Posters will also note that those claiming Bailey makes breaks can only really come up with a single example of him doing so. I can also remember one at Hull KR where he set Watkins away and got knocked out by Briscoe for his trouble - there may have been others but he has played 281 times for Leeds so I guess you'd have to hope so but I don't think making breaks is an aspect he's particularly noted for - if I'm wrong lets have some more examples.

However, my issue is with the unwarranted levels of vitriol and attention Ryan gets. I genuinely believe there is some deep rooted racism, conscious or not, behind it all. "[i:psoe98dpThem boys should be playing on the wing after all[/i

It was probably one of the few times that Moz has legally been put on his backside.
Due to injuries, IIRC, Bailey played the rest of the game at second row and therefore was usually taking the ball up wider.

Didn’t Ryan make a spectacular break for the Danny Mags try in the play off against Catalan last year?

Don't forget the one against Catalans

Yes ,but please look back at TVOC's comment?

Don't particularly mind Bailey's antics in matches. He pushes it sometimes and gets rightly punished when it's needed but most of the time he's an alright rugby player who doesn't use his size nearly enough but does a good enough job to keep his place, probably not high in the salary cap, in a good side.

What I can't forgive is running up to teenage boys who have tears in their eyes at the end of a Grand Final and goading them and rubbing it in that he's won and they haven't. I'll never respect the man, ever, due to that.

that old chestnut. the one that never happened you mean

Well you know Young master Graham has done it to us a couple of times after St helens scored once in a CC SEMI and another time when it backfired in a GF.At least Bailey waits till the end before he does it

Figment of your imagination

Wilkin might have been acting like a sulky teenager but was, in fact, a good deal older.

Justin Poore will never get a thread like this!

Absolute knobrot!

Justin poore wishes he had a thread like this ha ha

tmfmisl hahaha is this for real ! only a rhino fan could come up with this ! you've had some enforcers in the past morley and macca to name a couple and even if you are opposition fans you had to admire their courage and sheer hardness.But Bailey,,,come on he is very lucky that Leeds have stood by him after some of his howlers.The guy is huge and built to be a enforcer if he had the balls of your past great forwards he would be gb England first name front rowers but he is a coward.This aint a attack because i truly beilieve Ryan Bailey has not given his all if he had this thread wouldnt be here because he wouldnt hed be in aus .Hes just a member of a fantastic winning squad who lack their normal enforcers.He likened himself to morley and peacock in super league magazine thats like getting cheryl cole mixed up with mandy dingle!Hes an ok squad player but thats all he is.He be quickly forgotten when you finally let him go to dewsbury batley or cas.Radford lost odoneld lost scully lost sonny bill smashed out of his boots. poore beaten like a dog and james graham took him back to his childhood.At some stage he will be embarrassed beyond belief look what happened to fielden after he had years of growling and whispering in ears i look forward to it ! tmfmisl hahahaha classic bailey ! you couldnt make it up.

you probably just wasted 30 mins of your life on that garbage post , multiple winners like Bailey will never be forgotten

An interesting first post.

the quicker the school holidays finish the better it seems, as you clearly have a lot to learn.

Don't bother with a second post. It will in no way live up the genius of your first post. Amazeballs.
