TBF 9 months at one club is a pretty decent stint going by his record since he left Leeds.

It’s the players who are the joke not Toronto
It’s quite clear why they don’t play home games alternate weeks

| Watching Bailey's career over time is like a car crash in slow-motion. There's a horrible feeling of inevitability about how he'll end up.

Quite amazing how the guy lasted a decade with us considering he has lurched from club to club since he left.
I hope i'm wrong but it's easy to see him going down the Malcolm Alker kind of route once he calls time on his career (if that has not already been forced on him) he is obviously not the brightest and i can imagine he mingles with with some dodgy characters away from rugby.

Don't say that. Not when everything is just nicely falling into place. Plus he's crap anyway. Nothing but a thug. Rather he was lost to the game completely now and hopefully on a personal side doesn't cause any trouble.

I hope he hasn't signed for Bradford, I think it would upset the dynamic Kear is developing. But I don't know where you get the thug accusation from. As much as Bailey or opposition fans might like to pretend he very rarely did anything that hurt or scared opposition players. There have been far, far worse.

True. He usually did a fair job at evading those out to deliberately harm him too.

I hope he hasn't either. Hmm, alleged drug user (have to put alleged these days), constantly looks for fights in a game and more often than not gets shown up (see Radford, Bateman), always tries to fight people smaller (again see Bateman, and when he realised Radford was restrained he tried to hit him, also tried to headbutt Long at the same time), From Queens RL, which anyone who knows amateur RL knows exactly what they are like.
From a huge RL perspective it is such a shame to see a player like this. From a young age he could have been one of the most feared props. Instead just a thuggish person. If he had gone down the Peacock route. Just got his head down, worked hard, cut all the pointless dirty tactics and only fought when he absolutely needed too he would have gained a lot more respect in the game and could have been a world beater.
There are worse? Who do you have in mind? I'd put Hock up there but in all fairness to him over the past few years (since his ban) he has cleaned up and just focused on his rugby. And personally I think Wigan and Leigh have done well with him in terms of saying if you aren't clean you are out that's it.

Pantomime villain is probably more apt than thug.

Shown up by Radford? This is one of the biggest urban myths out there. Radford had a few digs at an unprotected Bailey and missed with every single one. He was then shown a red card for his trouble in a game that Leeds went on to win at a stroll. Incident's here

Bailey deliberately was throwing elbows about at Radford's head (who was unprotected by the way and Bailey lands 3-4 point of elbow shots to the top of Radford's head). You can tell because Fitzgibbon had charged out of the line to shot Bailey (Fitzgibbon tries the shot and his arms hit the shoulders/back of Bailey) and Bailey thought Fitzgibbon had ended up on his legs so targeted that player unnecessarily with elbows. Turned out to be Radford. Who doesn't miss with every single one because the one he does land cuts Bailey open.
Then when Buderus hugs Radford to get him away about 7-8 players (including Buderus, Long, Senior and Leuluai get between Radford to break it up). Radford is restrained by all these players and Bailey tries a cheap shot over the top, gets pushed away by Senior and then held by Delaney, Hall's holding Long away from it all and Bailey throws himself over Halls' arms and throws a headbutt at Long in the process throwing Delaney away who restrains him again whilst Long laughs and has that look which says "What are you doing?". Bailey then pushes Delaney away and walks around the group of players and tries to get at Radford again (who is still restrained by a number of people) before he's taken away by the physio to get the cut looked at.
Yes I understand being a bit annoyed at someone having the audacity to try shot you, but no need for the elbows after and the 'acting hard'. Just get up and play the ball and get on with the game.

| Bailey is using his arms for momentum to try & get off the floor. They catch Radford who thinks Bailey did it deliberately. Radford has a few swings that don't really connect. I've no doubt, most would agree, that Radford would easily flatten Bailey in a proper scrap, but the rest is just hand bags. Even Bailey is not stupid enough to try & fight Radford while in a defenseless position.

I've never seen a player use their elbows that much when using momentum to get up. But lets say he does and Radford is in the wrong (didn't agree with the punching a player on the ground) it is the actions after which really annoy me. Radford acts like a normal rational person who's been in a bit of a tussle and lets it calm down where as Bailey tries to headbutt Long (absolutely disgusting, not as bad as biting, spitting and stamping but still on that mental level of thuggery). And then trying to hit a restrained player. To me that's not handbags. Purposely attempting a headbutt is just pure thuggish behaviour.
I do agree though on occasion he used it well to appear as a 'pantomime villain' at times and he was a good servant to the Rhinos in their glory years. But he's a thug. Done for brawling in the streets early in his career. Numerous drug and substance related incidents. And he was lucky he wasn't banned this time around. First ever player to not be banned for refusing a drugs test. Everything about him is just horrible. So I bloody hope he hasn't signed for us anyway

You paint a picture of a guy who threw away a chance at a great career, yet he has won more titles than your club has in its whole history
