No we hate him as he is a cheap shot merchant who goes into hiding when it comes down to the rought stuff,he did it against Wigan at the weekend when Luaki fronted up to him he went missing.Watching Scully sort him out was priceless.

You gotta love the people who defend Bailey by saying "he is there to wind people up"

He is a cheap shot coward who likes to attack players from behind (probably a technique mastered from his time in Armley nick) or when they are on the floor, yet as soon as they retaliate he runs away pr hides behind his teammates

When Leeds got the penalty against Lauaki on Saturday, and front rower with bottle would have taken the ball in first drive, not stood on the other side of the pitch like he did. And as for him being a "winner" compared to Graham, only one of the two has won every trophy in the English game, SL Young Player of the Year, Man of Steel and won a contract in the NRL...

Back on topic, Newton was the only Wigan player I actually hated for reasons other than they were awesome players that played for our rivals and not us...so therefore my top 3 would be:

1. Terry Newton - cheap shot thug
2. Shaun Edwards - too good and destroyed us on many occasions
3. Andy Farrell - tough player who always seemed to play well against us, couldnt like him as he was captain of Wigan

farrell

newton (played against him many a time when i was at blackbrook, and knocked him on his booty in a scrum, his dad took him off the field to protect him)

edwards

Can anyone give me an actual example of a time Bailey has 'run away'? I bet you can't because he doesn't. He's been involved in numerous skirmishes and the only time I've seen anyone get the better of him was Sculthorpe, one of SL's hardest ever players, when Bailey was what, 20?

Think Newtons dad took him off to protect you. Only person to knock him on his booty was Brian McDermott.

I used to hate any player who pulled on a cherry & white sh*te jersey. Most now I can admit a grudging respect for - players like Gregory, Hanley, Edwards, Farrell are undisputed legends of the game.

But three I still hate were all cheapshot merchants:

1) Thug Newton
2) Neil 'Fat-as-a' Cowie
3) Adrian Shelford (whose treachery, combined with the arsewittedness of the then Saints management, cost us my fave player of the time, Andy Platt)



I also couldn't stand Mick Cassidy, cos he looked like one of the bullyboys from Karate Kid
