Special K said:Could you explain how Phil Bailey is overrated please?
Have you watched Cronulla this season? Without Bailey doing all the work the sharks would be screwed.
Can I? I thought it was self explainitory, he has the a NSW and Test jersey at home in the cupboard...how? Chris Anderson that's how. To call him a former NSW and Australian player is hard to spit out, he is ordinary IMO.

To return serve, have you good sir watched a Cronulla game in 2005? Your selling Paul Gallen and Danny Nutley a little short. Let's pretend Phil Bailey is a hard working backrower digging in with his fellow forwards each week not standing wide doing sweet FA most of the time.
Comparitive Stats
P. Bailey: 25.3 tackles p/gm - 9.7 hitups - 70.9 mtr p/gm - 0.6 errors - 2.1 mistack
D. Nutley: 32.5 tackles p/gm - 17.7 hitups - 149.8 mtr p/gm - 0.6 errors - 2.1 mistack
P. Gallen: 27.9 tackles p/gm - 19.8 hitups - 161.4 mtr p/gm - 1.6 errors - 1.7 mistack
There is 2 players who do more work than Bailey in the forwards and throw Hutch and Stevo in there as well. Hutch may be down a little stat wise, though he is not getting the same game time.
IMO, Phil Bailey is one of the worse representative players the game has seen...as is Josh Perry and to a lesser extent Dane Carlaw who albeit is as soft as both, has come up with some decent plays in his rep career.
