Ablett and Kylie will probably be back, so Ablett to centre

not bad cover really?

BTW, I took this from an Aussie RL Forum:




I like the comparison and wouldn't mind him turning out to be like Freddie

dangerous tackle..... he barely lifted the legs and let go as soon as he realised. would be harsh imo.

the shoulder barg on hardacker was a shocker. first bentham sends it upstairs for the VR to watch it on tv, who spots it was a shoulder barg, then when bentham finds out it is, he puts it on report..... who will then watch it on tv and ban him....
the VR judged it to be a shoulder barg so it should of been 10 mins minimum.

and can someone explain to me why Mcshanes try wasnt given? you seen hookers scoring them week in, week out. not sure if im ignorant of some technical rule on it.

Mcshane followed Peacock therefore putting Peacock in between himself and the would-be defender in goal. Either that or the VR deemed the the PTB was incorrect

Get real!!

The shoulder charge won't get suspended. He hardly touched him!

I say it every ******* time! Is it that hard for supporters to realise that a shoulder charge ISN'T an automatic sin bin or sending off offence?! He didn't make contact with the head so it's just a penalty. He went into the body (only just as well) and tried to force him into touch.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game, Hardaker is turning out to be a decent full back. The team played with a great deal of enthusiasm and spirit. After widnes drew level at eighteen all we refused to panic and battled out a good win.
At times our defence was a bit naive , but that should firm up with a few more games together .

Is it? Since making his debut and going full time he's not improved at all. The 'he runs great lines' and 'tackles like a demon' lines have been spouted about him for a long time but are they really true? He will make a break once every 5 or 6 games or come up with a good tackle (like the one that dislodged the ball late in the game last night) but apart from that he rarely wins a collusion either side of the ball, and his work rate in attack is as bad as Kirke's.
He's bulked up in the off season but lacks the enthusiasm, and agression of say JJB, or the pace and power of Liam Farrell to make up for it his lack of size. He's young enough to prove his doubters wrong but he looks like another Simon Worrall to me.

Thought he barely touched Hardaker. When I saw the replay you could easily have said he was off balance and couldn't lift an arm in time as Hardaker span out of the way. I would have probably not even penalised it but hey ho.
As for Moon, the real danger is how you put the player on the ground. I saw no malice in any tackle where legs were lifted last night and tackled players were put on the ground safely. It's not dangerous to lift a players legs, as long as you put him on the ground right. I don't mind penalties for it as it focusses attention of the players to do things right. Bans are usually not dished out willy nilly but you really never know.

Our coach is not the right man to lead a generational transition at the club.

To be fair, the offer I've been told Baldwinson has got from the NRL is true I doubt not retaining Kirke or Kylie would make much of a difference to him signing a new Leeds deal or not.

It was good to see the youngsters show some good stuff on attack but the rookie defensive errors, which we have to expect, would have lost us points to the better sides. However the foundations for this win came from JP, JJB, Hardaker, Moon, McShane (not for the full 80 minutes though) and Burrow who scored 2 excellent tries and made 2 others with Sinfield like kicks plus took responsibility with some very good out of hand kicks.
