Retired according the [url=http://www.reds.co.uk/rugby-news/bailey-retires-due-to-injuryofficial website[/url

Frees up space on the salary cap for a new centre maybe?

Sad end for the guy but fair play for putting his hand up and doing what's best for the club.

well done Phil Bailey!

Doesn't that free up space on our quota aswell? Or am i confused :')?

It does indeed.

Priority has to be another forward for me. Bailey was signed as a second rower who could cover the centre position I understand.

didnt even realise he went to salford!



blow for you lot as hes a good player

Yes Bailey and also Vinnie Anderson who hasn't played yet. Although I'm told Anderson could figure this coming weekend.

As I posted on here three weeks ago.





Sad news, he was great with the younger players at Wigan and if I were Salford I'd offer him a job in youth development/coaching.

Feel sorry for the guy, but I think he'd be a better option than Alker, to be groomed as a future head coach.

I never met him , which is a real shame because he's done a really honourable thing .

it must be disappointing but as the press release states I guess that means find a replacement.



is he the only major signing that's retired before he ever made it onto the field for us ?

Shane Kenward is the nearest . 20mins into 1st game broke his Arm ( Morley ? ) never played for us again .

Terrible news for Bailey but fair play to him for holding his hands up and doing what's best for the club rather than himslef. Could have easily sat around for a season not playing and getting payed (well) but obviously not that kind of guy.



Does support the Gleeson rumours, if Gleeson does come I suppose it would mean a permanent switch to the 2nd row for Nero. Will be an interesting couple of weeks, im sure we'll get linked to every over -the-hill aussie going now!

You're right it was Morley in a tackle. You've got me thinking now if there were any more.
