The 2nd highest tackler. I like him steaming in as 3rd man and rattling someone. It's called rugby.
also made 2 tackle busts as well, so must be hitting the line at decent speed. But they probably slipped or something, to suit your agenda.

I thought he fell off at least two simple tackles for two of their tries. |

I think he was the player wasn't he that slipped off the players legs for the try at the start of the second half? but the other two in front should still have stopped that, so I would put their efforts as worse. |

You may recall Kirke made 37 tackles against Warrington and who was then called by some a shirker and who is now called a passenger by you.
The phrases "steaming in" and "hitting the line at speed" are not ones that come readily to mind when assessing Bailey, but I guess that anyone who has such a camp avitar of Mr B has to have a sense of humour. 
Bailey and Kirke fullfill similar roles at Leeds and are picked for their defence and experience and not for their carries. Both are past their prime but replacements like Singleton who despite showing the early promise have not progressed enough yet to replace either in the first team on a regular basis just yet. |

Yes, that was a bad miss. It was his tackle to make. There was also some lazy work on an inside ball for a try in the 1st half and the try Pryce created after getting it from the Southstand was built on a quick play the ball where he laid on the floor after being dominated by the runner.
The guy's coming back from injury and like bloodbath says he's better with more game time but I wouldn't call what he did yesterday as great defence, not that he was alone in that category. |

A lot fewer missed tackles than usual recorded by Opts despite us appearing to miss more tackles than usual. It seems different stat compilers have different definitions of what constitutes a missed tackle. As usual, the stats can either be taken with a pinch of salt or according to agenda.

They both have their bad days equally IMO and I cannot see clear water between them let alone a million miles. Like I said they are both past their prime and neither are as reliable on defence as they once were. They are both benchmen fighting for the same spot in my view but no one has shown enough yet to take that place from them. Yates could be fit soon and he should get a chance. |

He put us 12-0 down in that game by making 2 vital errors. His overall tackle count is irrelevant. There was no coming back from that, in that game.

I know who is better value.
As for Bailey against Catalans was defending smarter than the average Leeds player (i dont mean stat wise, i mean in context). He was only one of a few who when tackling was getting the ball carrier on his back. Catalans tactic was for their ball carrier to land on their belly to achieve a quick play the ball and win the ruck. Which they did overall. |

Clutching at straws BB
Bailey being "smarter" is another description that appeals to my sense of humour  You regard 48 metres as making an improvement but all it does is highlight Bailey's limitations. |
