Quote: ThePrinter "Apparently I'm a Kirke lover because I don't think he's the devil incarnate. At the start of the season he was a steady 4th choice prop who was hopefully going to be challenged by Singleton.

That I questioned the theory that Kirke (a prop) was stopping us from giving an academy 2nd Rower more money apparently made me have 'blue & amber glasses' on. He's been given a contract.....Griffin & Lee Smith had contracts and mid-season left recently, that Leeds re-signed him was keeping an option open, it doesn't mean he'll see it through or be starting 17 every week (but with Vickery now out of the scene Kirke is the poster boy for blocking ALL our academy players.)'"



He is selected every week regardless of others availability, regardless of form, regardless of other players.

The picture you paint is quite different to the real one.

[b:1zy5cey6]"...To those people that wrote this team off... to all those that criticised this team... tonight's for you" [/b:1zy5cey6] [i:1zy5cey6]Sir Kevin Sinfield[/i:1zy5cey6]:27794.gif



Quote: craigizzard ".
6 carries for Kallum Watkins as well, including two tries. From memory, he didn't get the ball once in our 28-play stint on the Rovers line.'"

Quote: craigizzard "That was the most frustrating thing on Friday. Watkins showed early on he had the beating of his opposite number, but during the 2nd half received not a decent pass apart from the try. He threw his arms in the air on at least a couple of occasion as Burrow decided to go alone when Watkins had loads of space.'"


Couldn't agree more regarding Watkins

All sides have members of their side that are renowned for being "Go to players"
We have been blessed recently by two of the best ever IMO in Senior and Lauitiiti and whilst they were in their prime they both had the ability to produce something out of nothing when given enough quality ball and defenders simply didn't know how to defend against them

IMO we have probably the most talented player in SL at present in kallum Watkins with his ability to beat a man just with his footwork alone, How dangerous would he be if he was also given good service whilst he was running good lines and into gaps too

Pity we can`t swap Burrow for Clarke at Cas and maybe throw in our ace up the sleeve and let them take Kirke.

Absolutely. As I have said before, McNamara gets more out of Watkins than we do. He is almost unplayable near the opposition line, he draws so much attention he creates space and if you don't double up on him he scores.
Moon on the other side needs to learn how to run straighter and maintain the space outside him - he is a strong, dangerous runner and he needs to use the attention he attracts to put Hall away properly.

We also have no left sided ball handling back row. For all the trouble he could cause Hock would fit there, maybe the Leeds culture could have rubbed off on him.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg

Hauraki would also fit the bill for a ball handling back rower (although not neccessarily on the left) but unfortunately the coaching set-up at Leeds couldn't get it out of him when they had the opportunity.

I once queried the McNamara selection of Brett Ferres referring to him as a SL standard rather than an International standard player - Cas' equivalent of Carl Ablett at that time - one of them has improved their game out of sight since then while the other continues to stagnate as a player.
