Where was Bailey ? : Fri Sep 19, 2014 12:47 pm  

Was he dropped or injured or what ?
Very surprised to see he wasn't even in the squad as he offers us plenty in defence and attack.
Hope he's back next week !!

Yep, daft. Much as I love Bruno given we had a lack of brough, I could have understood him missing out for bailey as bailey could have given us more options. Our forwards were made of marshmallow last night. Soft as....

Assuming his absence wasn't fitness related I can't understand why he wasn't on the teamsheet last night and he's a must to be included for the Elimination game.

He was 18th Man. Prior to the game the club tweeted a dressing room picture and Bails was there and so was his shirt.

Re: Where was Bailey ? : Fri Sep 19, 2014 2:16 pm  

the team was shifted about to accomodate grix at full back, great move by anderson.

still doesnt know his best 17 at this stage of the season

He was definitely warming up on the pitch before the game along with the other players. Like most people I was surprised he had been dropped.

An aberration by Anderson of the highest quality Josh Johnsons a young prop Wigan was no place for him if I was Bailey I'd be away too many leave outs for such a quality player.

He would have tackled as well as Lawrence but not dropped to the floor every time he was touched.

If I was picking next weeks team

Murphy
McGillivary
Cudjoe
Wardle
Broughton
Brough if fit
Robinson
Crabtree
Lunt
Mullaley
Ferres
Ta'ai
Bailey

Kopjack,
Faiumu
Patrick
Lawrence with a kick up his 'arris' saying run a line or his weight if not Fairbank based on the Wire match where he played ok Kaffusi needs to go not on the field long enough

Re: Where was Bailey ? : Sat Sep 20, 2014 9:53 am  

i would be tempted to leave lunt on the bench and start robbo at 9, and have connor and brough in the halves.
lunt has looked out of sorts lately and coming off the bench he might be able to inject some quality and energy into things

connor could also benefit playing with broughy,if brough is fit enough,he can take the pressure of the kicking game away from jake and let him use his running game.

i would also be tempted to leave patrick on the bench, he has much more impact coming off the bench.

murphy
broughton
wardle
cudjoe
mcgillvary
connor
brough
crabtree
robinson
kaufusi/mullalley
ferres
ta'ai
lawrence

lunt
patrick
bailey
kopczak/johnson,faiumu

Re: Where was Bailey ? : Sat Sep 20, 2014 2:10 pm  

IN - brough, bailey, mullally, broughton
Out - grix, johnson ...anderson can make the other choices, can he get it right - last chance!

Re: Where was Bailey ? : Sat Sep 20, 2014 3:05 pm  

I think you will find Anderson will make all the choices brearley- but I'm sure he's grateful for your input!
