Title: Bailey
Post by: Move DRFC on April 03, 2026, 03:17:22 pm: Love the guy and he has credit in the bank, but he’s been very much below average/anonymous for a fair few weeks now. Possibly been masked by how good Gotts has been and the fact we've been winning games. Need more from him.

We need proven L1 quality coming off the bench next season.

Hard isnt it when people are moaning about having a squad and also how far dies the budget stretch to be leagie 1 all the way through. Not that the budget should be more, just how do you get those players when Id guess we can tstretch that far.

The entire squad have just had a 10 day break with plenty of time to rest, in terms of Bailey’s form it dropped off a cliff. However, he’s not the only one with Molyneux, Hanlan and sterry all looking very average.

However he has been a little bit below his norm of late, he has taken some real hefty challenges over the season so far, just wonder if he is carrying any slight injury at all.
