This notion of Ryan "The Enforcer" Bailey is giving me a laugh or two. His involvement in the match as I saw it was:

Smashing Maurie in the tackle.
Protesting his innocence.
Taking the ball up and then running behind one of his own players to evade the waiting Saints tacklers ... and then being put flat on his booty.
Going missing.
Getting smashed by Graham.

Hardly the stuff of legend.

Let's be honest - the only "enforcing" that Bailey's half decent at is third man in kicking the living schitt out of someone lying prone on the pavement outside the pub.

I hear his shoeing technique is excellent.

Did Sonny Nickle tell you to say that?

BTW, John Gallagher says "Hi".

If Ryan Bailey is such an enforcer, why didnt he stand up to sculthorpe instead of being put on his backside. Same with Sonny Bill, Sonny Bill was waiting for him to say something so he could smash his teeth in, but Bailey couldnt even look him in the face.

Bailey is a $hithouse, a sentiment shared by a lot of players in SL

Is Bailey the player Scully refers to in his Biog about a player being the hard man but having little to back it up?

Reading all your pre match posts is worth having Mr Bailey in our side for! he plays the pantomime villain role perfectly, he also did his job last Friday he wound your lot up to the point they nearly threw the game away. If I was you guys I'd be more worried about James Grahams ability to lose his temper and get wound up at the drop of a hat, Gilmour too! I mean it wasn't Mr Bailey who had to be warned and told to calm down whilst running on to the pitch was it? no Mr Bailey had just completed the tackle of the game and wiped out one of your players.

And as for the complete myth of him running away from James Graham on the hit up, I think you will find he actually ran looking for him! And as from the evidence weve seen all Graham could manage on Bailey was a third man in tackle.

James Graham was immense when he came on so yes, Bailey did his job to perfection. Cheers Ryan, wind Graham up again please
