If on the chance he is available and it's a big if, I'd hope Lenegan would make a move for him. If Saints are open to offers, Lenegan has already stated that he's prepared to pay transfer fee's for the right players, surely he's the kind of player we's look at.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.

I would be more than happy with Bailey on a 2 year deal for 2010.
Dirty, in your face nasty Prop and not a bad player at all, would not be top of my list but given our failings think he could fit in nicely.
A frontrow including Hock (who I am sure will move forward at the end of his ban) and Bailey when Hock returns to the club would not be a very nice prospect at all to play against for our opposition.

When is Hock back btw?
Is it two years from his ban or two years from when he was first caught?
He was caught after the England game wasn't he which was mid season?
He'll be a massive injection half way through the season after next wont he!

in theory, but maybe it would be best for the club and player if he had half a season + preseason to get back to playing rugby. can't expect him to come straight back in after 2 years out, plus that would mean having to leave space on the cap for him for the first half of the season.

Although Hock will be training hard I’d expect him to massively step it up with about 6 months of his ban left to run. I’m sure the club will be slipping him some fitness programmes on the sly to do as well.
Without being an expert at this sort of thing I wouldn’t think general fitness will be his problem more match fitness which he could build up with a few reserve games & 20 min inclusions in first team games as an impact prop.
The cap room will be the main problem but I’m sure after 2 years out of the game he’ll take what ever money is given to him for that first half of his first season back.
