Another troll in our midst I see. (Or more likely a revisit from an existing one...)

If he was showing his dissapointment at the fact he thought he could have swayed the game our way by been on the field then it's a good thing. Shows he actually cares!

I'm sure I've found the answer.

Not everyone. Actually very few of us on here rate him.

Personally, I do.

Im pretty fed up of Bailey to be honest. been watchin Leeds for over 15 years now and i have NEVER seen Bailey have a great game.

Did you watch our win at HKR last week?

The only time i have been proud of his actions was when he smashed Morley. Ok, sometimes he doesnt play badly but he never excels!

Then he walks round thinking he is the hard provoking everyone and sunday is the first time i have ever seen him throw a punch! He provokes everyone then pussys out! I would MUCH rather have Scruton in the team instaed of him.

Would you be proud of him if he was more like Peacock who, in all probability, cost us the trophy Sunday?

His job is not to walk around throwing punches. However, if he needs to, he can do. Ask Julian O'Neill.

12 Points conceded during his sin binning and getting Burrow killed was a very, very important contribution to our defeat.

Had Bailey committed either of those he would've been crucified on here.

i like to think I am fair handed with praise and criticism and dole both out regardless of reputation so, yes, I think peacock major factor behind our defeat.

I think Bailey is certainly worth his place in the squad as a rotation prop.

Peacocks ill discipline is a problem. Not just his recent punch ups but he does tend to get penalised for high shots fairly regularly. His pass to Burrow was a poor play but a great spot by the Manly 2nd rower who hit him with what appeared to me at the time a fair hit(not seen any replays). That said what he brings to the team far outweighs any negatives.
My point was though that we were up against a far superior team on the night who were a joy to watch a times. IMO with Burrow fully fit for 80 mins and Peacock not in the bin the result would have been the same.
