1. Last night showed what he was all about, storming out the line to pressure the kicker, elbowed perry in the face and when perry went for him he ran away. The "hard" props dont do such petty acts of violence, they do it by being hard but fair - steve price, asotasi, civonaceiva etc

Quote:2. 3rd man in to tackles, unless its smaller players. Again compounding every fans opinion of him. I dont oftern see him live, but last night was a great example of it.

3. I played against him years ago, was all mouth, all talk, all ego and ended up getting sat on his a55, he hasnt changed and would be a nothing prop oif he wasnt at Leeds.

I dont think Rugby League gets the praise it deserves and people like Bailey do nothing to attract outsiders to the game, Vella is a role model for kids to get into Rugby and to make this game grow

SmokeyTA wrote:whats wrong with being third man in? third man often changes a tackle to a dominant one

it takes much more time and effort to get a ptb with three men in the tackle, than with two plus they can be puched back and turned on their back, third man in makes a very important contribution,

its strange how people see bailey, last year he made more tackles, more marker tackles, missed fewer tackles, and bust more tackles than Kylie Lueluai as well as making half as many errors,

yet lueluai had a storming season and bailey is a nothing player, its wierd

almost as wierd as the fact Bailey and Senior play down the same side, apparently according to some fans Bailey and Senior, despite their impressive defensive statistics only make tackles as third man in, so i wonder who was making those tackles last year, Rob Burrow? Scott Donald? those defensive dynamos? Gareth Ellis who probably had his worst year in a leeds shirt last year and missed 46 tackles?
