Bailey would do that job admirably.
Personally, I'd be very disappointed if our new prop forward was Ryan Bailey. If we're going to sign a forward and not trust to our own, I'd hope that we'd be aiming much higher than that. I don't see that he'd be any improvement on the lads we've currently got.

I rate Lima and would be happy to see him at Wigan, it's a more plausible target with him being a Kiwi and there being no giving up test/origin selection issues. Still I can't see us signing anybody of that calibre unless we can offload.
On a separate note, but while we're talking about forwards I was reading something that surprised me the other day. The forward a lot of New Zealand Warriors fans would most like to return was not Fui Fui Moi Moi (which surprised me) but our very own Feka, a lot of them were also quite shocked about his current weight - just show's our expectations of the big guy should be higher and hopefully might be addressed.
Feka has racked the pounds on during his time with us and he needs to be reigned in by the new coaching staff.
If Feka got to the level of fitness he had around the time he signed for us I really do think he'd be the best impact prop in world RL!
Imo he's the one guy in the squad we could see the biggest turn around in.
If we can get Feka fit he'd be in the top five props in the league IMO
If anyone wants to know how Feka should be looking just look at these pictures

I agree.
Its not always about fronting up and smacking someone on the jaw, its the niggle in the tackle etc that just makes players unpleasent to play against that is also part or a Props job in my opinion.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.
