This isn't really a thread thats had much discussion is it? Several posters from other teams come and post about how Bailey is a thug, a sh*t house etc, and don't back it up. It is easy to start a thread to lay into a player and I could start many like a Leon pryce thread or a terry Newton thread. Some posters sound like when they go to see their team play leeds they only watch Bailey and they notice everything he does! It has been said before and I'll say it again Bailey has stay'd in a team that has won 4 Grand finals for a reason.

Scruton,Mason and i bet Hargreaves are on more money than Bailey,Kopzcak has done jack sh#t,Mills and Bibey
Wood is biscuit boned and Fozzard is well past it.
Prescott has looked pretty decent when i've seen him but i wouldn't have him over bailey either.
That leaves young Luke Burgess who has got great potential and is maturing well but is still short in terms of Baileys ability,agility and consistency,plus they are different types of props.

dont fall into the trap of doing what you are criticizing others for doing re; bailey. whilst having a relatively poor penultimate season at wakey, his first and last we pretty decent all in all and for what is likely to have been peanuts. always onto hands and knees, quick play the ball, always willing to take it in and not bad hands either. he will be given a decent reception if he ever plays aginst us i would imagine

I doubt Hargreaves is, and I imagine Mason won't be too much over. Kopzcak put in some quality performances for us last season, and has age on his side. Mills, again, bags of potential. Okay, Bibey and Fozzard maybe not, but Prescott I would take over Bailey and I'd have a think about Wood.
