Quote: BrisbaneRhino "Are you saying Smith is done? He's a utility back at present and needs to decide what position he's going to go for on a permanent basis (although nothing wrong with being a good utility back). But done? Some people have also spoken about Hall as though he's 30+ and compared him to Amos Roberts. WTF?

The argument that players may not want to come to Leeds with a core of the likes of Sinfield, McGuire etc is bizarre. Are you suggesting McGuire (assuming he gets to full fitness) and Sinfield aren't amongst the very best in their positions? Why wouldn't you want to play alongside them? The only players they would put off are stand offs/loose forwards ready for game time now.'"

I'm not saying Smith is done i just think that since he came back from union he has been a shadow of the player he once was and at the moment i think Shenton is the better player but if Smith gets back to his best he is on par if not better with his attacking ability.

Totally agree about Sinfield and Mcguire though, they're far from finished and on last years form still the best in there respective positions than anyone else we have in this country

Atleast Kirke knows what he is, and knows his limitations. He rarely tries a stupid offload simply takes the ball forward.

Granted not very often and not for long meters and not for quick play the balls...... on second thoughts maybe he's useless and we should get rid after all, scrap the first bit.

Quote: Sal Paradise "and the CC is outside of the remit.'"


Outside of yours perhaps?

Winning the Challenge Cup has also apparently been outside Leeds' remit for all but one season in the last 32.

Quote: Sal Paradise "Is durable really the prime quality any player should bring at elite level?

He is the squad because he is cheap and despite the outpourings from Sinfield if he and some of cronies didn't take up so much cap space you would be able to accomodate a higher quality player.'"


Do you really think that Leeds operate their Salary cap poorly? If so, you've lost it

Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you! - Winston Churchill:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40515.jpg



Quote: tvoc "As he was injured last week (and so has no current form) I guess I'll have to concede that non-point.

I'd pick a fit Leuluai to play prop over a fit Kirke to play that position every day of the week.


As I appear to have prefaced the comment with 'a fully fit pack' I think I've covered Lauitiiti's availability for selection. I had nine forwards available (including Lauitiiti) and that left the other five fighting it out for the final position on the bench.'"


You would have to go back a quite a few years before you could consider Ali being "fully fit". To expect it now has to be filed in the "pigs might fly" drawer.

Quote: Ferdy "I would pick Leuluai all day long ahead of Kirke. Fully fit team he wouldnt even get on the bench.'"


The qualification was "current form" and not previous form.
