I think he'll do a good job for you. He'd have played a lot more games for us if not for injuries, and the fact that second row is probably our best "strength in depth" position. Main flaw is his lack of mobility in defence.

Quite the opposite actually, he's well known for not passing at Wigan, our attack usually dies when it reaches him, he's been a good defender for us before this year but for me he is way past it now and quite injury prone. I think it would be a backwards step for you guys if you signed him. The only positive thing i can say about him is that he has been a massive help for alot of the younger players and is a good club man. He's had a good career and even played for Australia but he is no better than any young 2nd rowers in SL now.

Has Newton rodgered your wife Bazza, because you appear to think [iabsolutely everything[/i is his fault?

As Josh Perry will no doubt tell everybody next year, Newton hasn`t got a good "rodger" in him..

Aside from that , i am not saying it is Newtons "fault" but the fact remains he, and some other players, have too much influence for me..As Newton failed to deliver on his promise of persuading Finch to join Rovers i assume he has told Morgan he can get his buddy Phil Bailey here..., with Morgan admitting his interest in Blake Green stems from him playing at schoolboy level with Dobson . will we ever see the day when Morgan makes a signing that either isnt with his one favoured agent in Aus or a mate of someone already at the club..?????


Not the way to drive recruitment if Rovers ever want to dine at the top table...

I must have slept through that bit.

Clint has also welched on his deal to rid me of my greenfly problem, and is also responsible for the roadworks on Saltshouse over the weekend. He's one bad egg that bloke!

Well, I'll bow to your superior knowledge Bazzington, didn't realise you had personal experience. Seeing as how he didn't give you the good time you were expecting I can understand your dislike.



He really is, putting the toll up on the Humber bridge to three Queens as well, knows no shame.

Don't even get me started on his contribution to global warming and the credit crunch.

Bailey is a very under rated player. He has a great work ethic and is a good "talker". He is excellent at helping at developing young players.

A Wigan poster previously said back row is a position that we (Wigan) are strong in having Farrrel, Tuson, Mossop, Hansen and Joel Tomkins.

Guess what? All those players have benefited from playing alongside Bailey and have learned from him.

My only concerns from an HKR point of view would be that he would be taking up a quota spot, and the Achilles injury he received has and will take it's toll.

Bang on the money there pal!

S, shame we can't add music to posts. I'll nominate "Another One Bites The Dust".

At least he got the colour right

Well, since most people seemed underwhelmed with the Bailey signing anyway, chuckle away Willa.

I'd say Bailey was a lot like Mark O'Neil. He didnt come with the greatest UK career from his injured time at Leeds but once here he was a stand out and I dont know one Rovers fan that didnt want him to put pen to paper on another year deal.

I certainly wouldnt mind someone like him coming here even to add to our coaching team which is often overlooked.

quota??? oh yeah i forgot...you dont have one....

Why would HKRKid have a "quota"? Is he allowed a maximum of 3 incorrect predictions for next season's squad?

If this is the case, I'm going to have to put a lot more thought into mine than I was planning. Still three to play with at the moment though.

The rules for us are exactly the same for us as for you.

Have you learnt nothing? Of course they are not. The rules are whatever think the RFL will give us the advantage over Hull.

The inverse applies over on The Dark Sides Board. naturally.

May I just say (as there isn't the opportunity to do so on the threads themselves) that there have been some marvelous "Gag and Locks" of threads inrecent times. Bravo.

Ahhh than'you.
