Quote: Andy Gilder "Poore was lucky to still be on the field after the attempt to decapitate Singleton minutes earlier.
He'd done sod all either with ball in hand or defensively, and was obviously getting frustrated at not being able to impose himself against a young Leeds side, and lost it.
Reminded me of a young Stuart Fielden, nobody seemed to be allowed to touch him or give him a bit of his own medicine back.
For Leeds, thought some of the young kids who came on stood up really well in the second half. Some of these lads had hardly played Under 20s before, let alone first team. First half, McGuire and Vickery were unplayable and the forwards laid a platform. Hood and McShane both looked sharp, McShane probably edging that little contest.'"
Poore did some legal big hits in the first 20 minutes and ran hard if you'd been watching. He was unprofessional and reacted to Bailey's grappling. You don't get State of Origin & 200 first grade NRL appearances for being sub standard. We'll see over the season how he goes when he gets in better shape, you can't judge in 20 mins except to say that he needs to control his aggression or he'll be no good to us banned.
