Would you have had him back at Leeds, given the issues he had at both Hull KR and Castleford?

If not, then why should Warrington fans be happy about his signing?

Because they support a bunch of mid-table plodders?

Best Bailey moment has to be him trolling half the Warrington team in a shoving match while they are on the attack with space out wide in the last minutes of the GF.

Agreed, couldn't believe how they got sucked into that one.

He plays where he wants, he plays where he waannts. He's Ryan Bailey, he plays where he wants.

Lets be right, Bailey has never been a top prop. There have been no awards for big metres, tackle busts or number of tackles.

What he offers is the ability to draw players to him even if he doesn't have the ball. Is that what Warrington need? Who knows, but as long as they understand what they have signed, and Smith should, then he can do a job for them. I just don't see him really improving on what they had last year.

For me it's a bit of a 'so what' signing.

Another great bailey moment was the barnstorming run from a kick off in away play off game v Catalan where he banged off ian Henderson and others and gave danny McGuire a run in to score. As a youngster thought he may be a world beater but still had good career.

It was only one other that he barged off. You;re confused because he barged Henderson off twice. I like to think that when he did it the second time, he muttered 'You again?' as he shrugged him off.

Yes he does....

As I Wire fan I really dislike him - consider him a cheap shot merchant and past his best.

But if anyone can get anything out of him it's TS and from what has been reported if he steps out of line he'll be out of Wire.
There's good odds on him not lasting the year because of discipline but let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Re: Ryan Bailey : Tue Nov 24, 2015 11:21 pm  

I wish him well. He may be all sorts of bad things, but I'd prefer to see him mature and make the best of what's left of his career and beyond than read about him for all the wrong reasons down the track.
