TVOC will have to give that one to the opposition player, especially if it's an opposition player that Leeds let go. It's like sugar to him. It's a microcosm of his Rhinos outlook at the moment.

He'll probably be blaming Hetherington for not signing a winger that could monster the ex-Leeds prop in a collision that the ex-Leeds prop didn't win anyway.

I think you're over-analyzing my comment about Nick Scruton welcoming Lee Smith back to rugby league. He did just what I said he did, 'hello Lee get that into you.'

Smith will have felt it. IIRC, Smith neither gained or lost ground as other Bradford player's completed the tackle. Everyone's happy.

The 'big hit' is part and parcel of how I want to see modern day rugby league played. I enjoy them, regardless of which team is on the receiveing end including when it's Leeds.

Adrian Morley, Barrie McDermott, Fereti Tuilagi, Epalahame Lauaki, Sam Burgess, Greg Eastwood are/were the type of players I'd pay to see.

I agree there is nothing better than abig hit regardless who is hitting who, I love watching some of the tackles fron Kyle when you can hear the smack! I also really enjoyed the hit bailey did on Morley & farsavalu!

I'd rather see a quality Leeds produced player in the shirt. Which is what we had on Thursday, a player you have been happy to criticise in the past, were comfortable with him leaving stating he was 'easily replaced.'

If he was 'easily replaced' I wonder why Hetherington has brought him back so quickly?

And just like you re-Scruton

I agree.



As long as they're legal. Which is why Sonny Nickle and Vila Matautia missed out on a nomination.

Good shout with Leuluai, even Thomas of the clan has been known to put his shoulder into the ribs with good effect (one hit on Fa'asavalu comes to mind here) they fire up a team and the crowd.
