If Ava was dropped it was probably more on a commitment to the cause line- that's a big if as well unless I have missed somewhere that has been confirmed? I don't think you can level that criticism at Cuthbertson- trying too hard to try and make something happen a lot of the time.

It's been the trend amongst our fan base to bash Cuthbertson for a while and I am not sure why he is singled out. Yes, his errors/faults are immediately more obvious with dropped ball etc but they stick more than they don't. Our issues against Wigan ran far deeper than his offloads. I think he offers more variety than the rest of our pack as well- he's the only one aside from maybe Martin that looks like making a break or coming up with a pass play- granted a forward isnt there for their passing primarily but it certainly helps how we play.

Cuthbertson is over 30, so our fans automatically don't like him.

That's not the case but I think most fans do feel this should be his last season. He will be 36 when the next season starts.

Been a good servant to Leeds Cuthbo he was magnificent for us in the treble year.

Time to move on tho at the end of the year i think although he still offers something with his offload game and him and Cam Smith off the bench worked well early season.

You hope overseas players offer top quality but im not sure our current batch offer quality never mind top quality.

Cuthbo is the only player in this team who gets in an all time 17 for me.
Overseas players are hit or miss. Look at Eastwood, Cross, Falloon.
Cuthbo is a Leeds legend IMHO and deserves another year after this. Puts his body on the line every week, great clubman.

Complete & utter BS.

Probably not for me. One very good season and the rest inconsistent - admittedly not helped by playing in some of the worst SL teams that Leeds have put out.

Lauitiiti is our best off-loading forward of the SL era.

As a prop forward, Cuthbertson might just sneak a bench spot after Barrie McDermott, Jamie Peacock, and Kylie Leuluai. Does he deserve it over players like Ryan Bailey?

We've had a lot more quality back-rowers than props in this time so I'd probably leave Cuthbertson out in favour of some of the likes of Lauitiiti, Ellis, Morley, Sinfield, Glanville, Ablett, JJB etc.

I'd take Cuthbertson over McDermott any day.

McDermott > Cuthbertson > Bailey

all time also have dean bell and hanley if including career elsewhere

Then you didnt see much of Mcdermott.
