Bailey struggled at 7 tbh... he can be a general and organise but can buckle under pressure too.
It is famously the hardest position to thrive in, but everything I saw tonight makes me think he's the most appropriate stop gap until these young guys come through - doesn't have the glaring weaknesses of Sexton or Hutch, play a basic straighten, distribute and tackle game.
He's only just come in but would do his best and needs an opportunity. Like to see him off the bench to start off his F/G career tho.
Tracey for 1.
Bailey is a gooden, technically very good, Chook Halligan will tell ya ( works on his kicking with him ) but his old man will tell ya he buckles with ball hand, seen it a few times myself.
Haha said it better than me! That is exactly it. Wvery time you just know the play will end with him
I can’t handle all the posts saying “but his defence…” mfw?! His defence stinks!
His slowness creates holes in our defense so it's a much better option to have taffe in at hb and Tracey at fb
Yes
Exactly, it’s like he’s perpetually acutely concussed out there. Looks like if a drunk streaker were allowed to remain on the field
In was thinking Taaffe a run in the 7 for next week
It needs to be tried at least Bob dog. We have such depth now and we need to see how another guy can handle halfback in this fast improving team. Taafe seems the obvious choice. CC has confidence in him and even if it's looked at from the angle that Hutch may get injured. If only that aspect alone....we need to have a tested 7 for those occasions.
