I think i have woken up in some sort of parallel universe or something this morning.

Is that the one where paul wood isn't on a beach come grand final night and Bailey doesnt have 5 (yes five) GF Rings.

To get the topic back on track. Looking at the Wigan squad and level of player and commitment from the forwards Lauaki will have to work his socks off to get a game.

Well bailey is obviously a much better player then isnt he?

He's not even made the p1ss poor England squad for the 4 nations.

Ricky Bibey has 2 CC winners medals...

As a vital cog in a champion team? then yes, he's alwo a much better player on GF night. When will folk learn it's not about individuals. It's about putting the right group together to get the job done. Bailey is probably the best player in the world at been foil for his key players. Bailey gets teams to channel their aggressive play at him. Taking that pressure off the Leeds match winners

maybe the Leeds fans should change his joke to OOTTMVMISL

Honestly, It's Bailey who is again having the last laugh.

Leeds win grand finals DESPITE bailey..... not because of him.

This guy is almost as bad as the Hull fan yesterday telling us that Mark O meley is better than Adrian Morley. Not only that, he's the best prop in SL behind Graham.

Ryan Bailey is a very average prop forward playing a good side, and this has been the case for seasons, he does a job for you which is fair enough, but that doesnt make him a good player, there's 15+ prop forwards playing Super League all significantly better than him.

must be something in the yorkshire water.

LSD?

He wouldnt have been picked 5 times to play in the grand final if this was the case would he. We would have either signed someone else, or play on of the other props we have.

If there is its probably the taste of a champions victory, but as I live in Sydney i wouldn't know

Total Guff

yea you're right.... he's brilliant..... I hope wire sign him for next season.

Maybe not 15, but there are a fair few better than him yes. But Bailey isnt a James Graham, nobody has pretend he is. Bailey is a rotation prop. He does the job of a rotation prop. His game fits perfectly with what you would want from a rotation prop. He certainly isnt the best or among the best props in the country, but is certainly among the best 3rd/4th rotation props in the country.

He's a bit young and a bit british for Wire to be looking at him.

I wouldn't worry about it happening mate.... he wouldn't get anywhere near our starting 17

You might have a better chance of not cholking if you did!

Sorry wigan mods I will try to get your thread back on track again. I think lauaki is gonna have to turn things around in a big way to make your first 17.

I have noticed your packs relative aversion to Grand Final winners.

Good reply. Nice one.

Grand final participants would be a start.
