Quote: G1 "When is kirke doing this work?

He had a lot of game time last Tuesday with JJB's injury.

He carried the ball 7 times, made 33 metres at an average carry of 4.71 (worst amongst our forwards). He also missed 4 tackles. Much poorer than Bailey.

Kirke can and has put in much better performances than that but not on a consistent and regular basis.

He's not the cornerstone of anything I am afraid. He's done some good stuff and I can agree with bloodbath and Gilder's assessment of him to a degree but I am afraid there's a touch of the Feather about him. He's got the raw tools and the size but too often puts in powder puff displays, Tuesday being one of the worst.'"

If you saw his face on the screen he had taken a knock and could hardly see out of one eye. Some would have declined even playing any more game time. Check out McLennan's quote in YEP.

I would guess that GH didn't renew his contract on the basis of a few bad games this year but more likely on the fantastic value for money he's given Leeds since joining from the national league, we wouldn't have a team to play if that was the case, see my earlier post.

He's not a great player. He is a good SL level player, who does a job. But every squad needs them, and its better that they come through the ranks at a british club, than from the NRL as a quick fix.

As JJB has shown, you can quickly go from average & effective joe at a big club to England / GB capped player. I still think Kirke can improve, although I am not sure he has got international honours ahead of him.

Good squad player who adds size and looks like he might have a little bit more in his locker than he's shown so far.

I think he's a decent squad signing, depending on wages (which I assume are minimal).

exactly. However it says something about our squad strength that he is a week in week out first team regular instead of a pitch hitter
