Am I the only one who thought Leuluai was MOM?

Who rattled you cage?

PS

When I refer to you in a post you will know, until then wind your neck in, take a few deep breaths and think before moving your fingers towards keyboards.

I like you a lot.

I too think the mark for Kylie is too low and Eastwood too high.

i really did not think Eastwood was in the game at all. Whereas Kylie's contribution was more prominent. i grant you he may be a defensive weakness due to him been out on his feet sometimes, btu what he gave when he did make the hits on Friday was better than anyone else. Also those couple of runs were outstanding.

Personally i think the praise been handed out to Ryan Bailey is getting a bit over the top.

I have always held the view that Bailey is a very good player. This is backed up by the fact he is still a Leeds player long after many on here would have seen him down the road. he is certianly one you would want in your team rather than against you.

He does not carry the ball in with the gusto his body weight deserves. His biggest asset is his fitness and ability to do long periods in defence.

I'm in agreement with you most of the time but struggle to see how you value Kylie's contribution so poorly.

For years we complained about having a lightweight pack, no go forward etc, etc.

He is one of the main reasons we now dominate other packs. He wins most collisions he is involved with and often targets the opposition key players. Yes, he only plays shorts stints but that suits us, having players such as Bailey and Peacock who can (and probably perform better) play in much longer spells.

The time he is on the field he adds an enormous impact, he lifts people around him. Yes he may be slow getting back after kicks, at times he looks incredibly lazy, but he brings a hell of a lot more positives than negatives.

One of the best examples of his defensive work I can think of is the 12 -10 (?) game at Knowsley Road in the play offs. There was a 5 minute spell in the 2nd half where he absolutely smashed anyone who came near him. In one of the most intense games I have seen in SL, he upped the intensity with his reintroduction. This is what he brings.

To summarise I feel he compliments our other forwards well and is an integral part of our pack. I also like the way Bluey is using him, bringing him on before half time so he can effectively play 4 stints - 0-20, 30-40, 40 -50 and another stint in 2nd half. Getting the best from him IMO

I thought Eastwood rolled his sleeves up and put in a shift for the benefit of the team.

Solid in defence and was willing to attempt the hard yards going forward.

Which is what we needed and it is what we got.

Are people wanting a show pony?? If so let's just re-sign Jamie Thackray. He doesn't care - he just slings it out.
