Quote DISA="DISA"I am not so sure he "had a pretty decent game" on Friday, I thought he was absolutely outstanding, and for me MOM.
That said I am not so sure there is any need for people who have critisized him to bend over.
Those that have continually slammed him however should bend over, because Friday was proof if we ever needed any of what Bailey can offer when on form. Personally I have always backed him on what he can offer and defended him on here many times, but will also state if he had a bad game.
What we need from Bailey now is consistency. Lets be honest and fair here, he has not put in many performances like Friday over the last couple of years. But he does damn well offer a lot more to the team than he often gets credit for.'"
Imho he is consistent in that he does the hard graft and attracts penalties and attention from the opposition and whilst he stood out on friday his work often gets over-shadowed by the headlines the other team members make i.e another 60 minute stint by peacock,or brilliant tries from donald,webb,burrow or mcguire.
How much did people recognise jjb's efforts early on in his career??
There's loads of people who still think that sinfield is only a kicker.
Bailey does and always has contributed to the team maybe not always worthy of headlines or M.O.M awards and many times not as explosive as friday but he does a job for the team and i'd rather have him in the 17 than not.
