I was thinking the same thing! He's useless!

Kirke has 5 Grand Final rings. Let that sink in

And Ricky Bibey had plenty of medals, and I think he only played about a 120 games in the super league.

Think we paid £3k from York for Kirke and he will have earned peanuts.........5 grand final rings later people moan about him. He was what he was a 4th or 5th choice prop.

Did people expect this 3k Championship player to really be the equal of JP????

In a salary cap squad you have to have fillers who are happy to play for a small wage to allow players like like Sinny, JP, Ali, Senior, Webb, Maguire, Burrow etc to stay together.

I don't think Kirke was happy to play for a small wage, He probably just knew his realistic value as a player - not very much. I hardly think GH was there offerng him 100k and he was saying ''No gary please, pay me 50k I want mags and burrow to stay with each other, i'm happy to play for a smaller wage''.

It was more about the club knowing the value of having a consistent reliable player low in value, in a salary capped sport.

It's fitting that Kirke and Achurch have gone into business together. Two big muscular fellas that can oil each other up and flex in front of the mirrors.

Two of the biggest, big girls blouses to ever waste the gift of a Rhinos first team jersey.
