Go on then give me a valid point were he adds to Leeds game; he doesn't, he gives away too many penalties and offers nothing in attack...He's not Leeds standard, end of

you are a good team. the best in the country. but sometimes average players can be made to look better than they are. when they leave they sometimes show this. danny ward(he played for britain) i think this is the case with bailey. i dont imagine for 1 minuate that he would try and throw his weight around half as much if he didnt know he had peacock behind him.

He makes good yards, can give some good passes and puts a bit of biff in our front line. On top of that, he is one of the kids who has come through the academy so has the pride in the club.

I'll wait until the reasons are known before castigating him. Its a shame you canmt do the same.

I love Leeds fans. Claim to be the best, attend the games, then slag the players for the slightest thing without reasoning why.

Oh, and the majority of poor losers didnt stay to clap the team off either.

He adds personality to the team. He adds the experience of winning three grand finals to the team. Not every player has to be an international super star to play for Leeds Rhinos as that would break the salary cap. I’m sure if we didn’t have this burden known as a salary cap we would have had a super star prop forward in his place.

We can if and but all day.

Ryan Bailey is welcomed member that is part of a great Leeds Rhinos side and I’m sure that many will agree with me on here.

In all my years of supporting Leeds i have never ever seen any player disrespect the Leeds shirt like he did tonight.To throw his shirt away like he did after being substituted was an absolute insult to every player who has ever graced the famous blue and amber jersey.How much longer do we have to put up with his petulant behaviour on and off the field.

Think you've got a team full of them to be fair .What with Sinfield cryin to the ref week in week out ,Senior selling a honours medal for his country on ebay and in general an air of elitism running through your team ,what more did you expect........

Leeds have the best academy in the country, is cash rich, and can attract some of the World's top names to the club. Therefore we have the potential to bring in a hell of a lot of top quality players.

If Ryan Bailey was not of Leeds standard, he would be replaced

However, the most succesful Leeds coach in our history, and our new coach (who already has a WCC and Grand Final medal to his name, as well as winning an International series with New Zealand) feel he is an integral part of this squad

So its not "end of" - or are you claiming you are a better judge of player than Tony Smith and Brian McLennan??
