what bailey actually does is his role in a 17 man sport very well that is why leeds have been the force for the last few years and other clubs and fans need to look at leeds and understand to win the bigger things in life you need 17 players doing there job well and not just a few..



yes people argue bailey is not a power forward but that is not his game that is down to peacock and kylie whos game it is,baileys is more defensive and most of the time leads the forwards in tackles..



bailey is also a wind up player he is a sort of player who does niggle and says things and makes you snap and he just looks at you and smiles

Somebody has got to take you up on that challange?

And what did it have to do with Graham? He was frothing at the mouth.



I remember Graham's input.



Third man in wasn't he?



OOOoooooh brave.





For further reading of Ryan Bailey please see last years GF performance. Classic stuff.



Yet again what was Mr Graham's input?



An attempted cheap shot on the last play from the penalty tap. He stood 5m offisde and went looking for TMFMISL. No problem for him, he bounced him off and as usual wore a huge grin and smile.



Sucked in yet again.

There you go, another example of Baileys genius, he got you all rattled again. Mary ran it in towards Bailey and Bails had him nicely lined up. Mary got sat on his backside and walked off with a runny nose





There after FGB wasted so much energy trying to emulate Baileys shot and quite frankly failed terribly and made a right fooking fool of himself.

People do go on saying that Bailey is a chicken and that he will pick a fight then back down. People actually use this against him but surely you could say he is a better professional as he resists the need to get into a scrap. As someone stated he is used to wind the opposition up and then doesn't retaliate thus can get the opposition to concede penalties. Suits me although I do wish he would run straight at the line without his little stop start motion

He kicks badgers

In his early Leeds career I remember him been a real hot head, fighting all the time and had bad discipline. But after his little incident with Walker he came back a much calmer player with much better discipline.



Look who Bailey has got on his cv : Morley, Marysatontheloo and Crabtree. 3 tough props that Bailey has owned.

Saints appear to be obsessed with the bloke;

Tony P is going to set fire to Ryan Bailey is what I get from that picture. Would be controversial but no doubt make for good TV and an increased Sky deal through the publicity the burning would create.

Have you not got a smaller picture? that ones a bit big for me too read.

saturdays part in the burrow/luaki mismatch sort of summed up baileys wind up capabilities

he committed the foul which drew the slap from luaki but if burrow hadnt reacted then leeds would have got the penalty

because of the spat luaki was targeted in every tackle and by a hostile leeds end and was playing as a winger when hall ran past him for his fourth try



as in boxing losing your head can be very costly and bailey is perfect at goading other players so they make mistakes, if on friday someone else decides to get involved like graham was then he will have done his job

while he's attracting 4-5 players to the tackle leeds have the know how and speed to exploit the gaps left

He encourages the opposition to look for the big gang hit on him after an 'incident'.



Just watch him, he will always keep the ball away from the impact of the tackle and will offload if it is 'on'. He will happily take the 3 man tackle, but when the defenders pick themselves up from the floor they usually find plenty of egg on their faces and a grinning Ryan Bailey running past them.



Excellent tactics as always TMFMISL.
