It was always likely to be him or McNally who got it.

I thought Theoharus was very good, as was Gorski.

I'd have given it to the Whitehaven chairman personally. His contribution was outstanding.

At least he makes a real effort, and seems to have at least some clue about running the club.

Pretty laid back for an American though.

Your opinion is valid. I suspect Bailey would look a tad better in NL rugby.

I think Bailey has some big weaknesses in his game, but when it comes to the crunch he's been in the GF three times, which suggests that coaches have a lot of faith in him at the pointy end of the season.

And didn't he play all of about 13 mins in last years GF? I know he only got on at the end

No disputing that Bailey has 3 GF rings but thats because he has/is playing in a good team.He as an individual contributes very little In my opinion of course.

I know the old addage that you need workhorses in any team and you cannot have a team full of impact players etc but IMO Bailey isn't a workhorse either.

He drives the ball in too infrequently and most of the time doesn't break any tackles.He;'s now started walking the ball up and then passes about 6 yards before the defensive line meaning he's committed no one

Hes often 3rd man into a tackle and shows none of the one on one big hits that he was renowned for when first breaking into the team.

I know many on here rate him and prefer him to Kirke but for my own taste I prefer Kirke and can at least see the hard graft he puts in whereas I simply dont see it in Bailey....sorry

Much bigger and other than a short hair-cut i don't see what you mean!!

Not in size etc but from the longer shots his facial structure and hair do gave him a resemblance to disko when hes had his shaved hair do.

Anyone else notice (if that's not the wrong word) McNally apart from kicking at goal? Very anonymous, didn't look to impose himself on the game at all.

Oh, and WTF was Jamie Rooney doing going down clutching his face? Should be ashamed of himself.

Yeh i saw that,completely shameful behaviour!!!!
I also agree re-mcnally but in his defence i've also seen him win matchs virtually on his own.

Yeah, was looking forward to seeing him play but he did zip.
