Softcock Bailey

He may not have lived up to his early promise but he's done enough get 3 GF winners rings. I wonder if Fa'asavalu called him a softcock

Interestingly softcock is one word you can say through wired up jaws. Unlike Dirty Gastard Gailey.

Burgess flattened him better.

I think Maurie is about as worried about Bailey as he is about Tommy Leuluai after he caught him with a good shot too.

He ripped a big Bulls pack apart at the weekend, probably made as many metres and busts in that game as Bailey has all year.

Maurie ran all over the Bulls pack at the weekend m'dear.

Don't think he came across Sam that much though, as he was hiding in the centres or "doing a Bailey" as it's known.

Oh yeah I know, it wasn't a dig at Maurie, it was a dig at Bailey. Feel free to join in!

You don't have to join in if you don't want to.

With him and Webb, we should be guaranteed plenty of penalties at least.

Good, gives us lots of chances to bottle the run and go for the two as usual.

Bailey has been a massive disappointment to me after seeing him terrorising the Aussie defence as a junior. He has had a big problem transferring & channeling that aggression to grown up rugby. Having said that he is not, or no longer is, a dirty player. He has conceded less penalties than Bradford front rowers such as Lynch, Burgess, Newton, Langley, with similar amount of games (but probably less game time). Only a keyboard warrior would refer to him as softcock however, IMO he missed a major opportunity to enhance his reputation when he flattened Fas. He was so worried about his poor reputation that he spent the next 5 minutes trying to convince everyone it was his shoulder that hit him, rather than standing up to the Saints players & saying "Yes, that was me, who's next?" which is what Barry Mac would have done.

A perfect summary.

Bailey plays a vital role in the Rhinos pack. A pack that has, let me remind everyone, won 3 of the last 5 Grand Finals.

He's no Graham, Maurie or Peacock but he's not asked to be.
