Yes it has been a disaster moving Bailey back to centre
Mr Noble if your reading this please move Bailey back to second row ASAP and put Goulding back there!
The quote you have selected was made at the start of the season. It has to be taken in context. On the evidence we had to go on Bailey had been skinned twice in the centre chanel which lead to 2 tries and was the difference between a win and a loss vs Wakefield.
There were other options in the team, options in fact Noble (aka the guru) chose to use as well, or are you now saying he was wrong.
As you clearly select quotes without placing them in the context they were made yet some how miss posts i have made much more recently on the Bailey to centre issue (how convenient) I think it shows a certain mentality.
You also seem to think Bailey has suddenly become the answer to our centre issue on the back of 1 good game, he missed at least 1 tackle which lead to a try vs Quins and had a average first half, in the second half when we moved forward more as a defensive line and vs Bradford where this was also the case, something i said would help Bailey on the much more recent quotes you do not post (conveniently).
I have started to notice a pattern, you again simply ignore points aimed at justifying my opinion that do not fit your argument and simply select snippets to suit your line.
I am still waiting to see where i claimed i was a better rugby league coach than Noble, or are you still searching, missing any of my posts that back up what i say. Again i have to say it shows a certain mentality that you after a great performance rush home to have a pop at people who have a different opinion to you, and to compound that spend your time trawling through my posts from the start of the season trying to prove your point, yet fail to somehow miss the ones that confirm my stance.
You seem to have a real bee in your bonnet with me and Dave for having a strong opinion that does not go with yours, but it is interesting to see if you stand back just how opinionated you are too.
I will be over the moon to be proven wrong about both Noble and Bailey, but after 1 good game you cannot expect me to do so? Surely that would be bandwagon jumping at its finest something you yourself are so critical of in your initial post.
