For the love of god I know it's worn out old record time.....BUT what the hell have successive coaches seen in this easily dominated hopeless lump? (Nothing personal) ?

Why WAS he re-signed? If not for the recent injuries I'm not sure priority would have been given to the young lads that are now being given their opportunities....NOT before time.

I've said it many times i'd have released him at the end of last year and given his 2yr deal to Baldwinson.
Singleton already is a better Forward and i'd say the likes of Foster ,Baldwinson and Tonks to name just 3 will be much better within 12mths.

Suffice to say I have more faith in your judgements than I do in the coaching staff at times. Foster was immense last night: very impressive for a debutant at such a young age. Love the way he stood up to Morley at full pelt.

Best Reverse Forward in SL.

What's the standard response that you lot use on here about Bailey getting picked by successive coaches?

Apply that, to this.

Agreed.since we have had these injuries kirke and moore have just proved they are not good enough to be trusted to carry of big minutes for us and have infact been outshone by the rookies.cant see the sense his two year deal.would much rather see sutcliffe and singleton in the 17 for the rest of the year than those two,even when players come back,as i think they bring more to the table.that says it all.

A few of his carries the other day were embarrassing

I noticed Moore a number of times on Friday, usually for the wrong thing unfortunately, but I hardly knew Kirke was playing.

Thankfully the coaches know better than most clueless fans...which is why Kirke has been an integral player in the club's recent success

If the team was picked by Southstander voting, Leeds would have probably won feck all since 2004, and have a new coach after every loss!!

Leave the team selection to the coaching staff, and sit back and enjoy the ride. It's been a good 10 years!

Kirke just didn't look committed in his carries and allowed the Warrington tackles to dominate him. He did make some tackles and was on the field for longer than usual but with so many injuries he really should have done better. JP was immense with big number of carries and tackles (45?)

51 tackles, 30 carries.

Embarrassing really where we would be without him. That is why people have a problem in successive coaches picking work shy players, and why they are entitled to voice it.

Seems to be the opinion in telegraph and argus that our bankrupt friends down the road that Bailey will be playing for them next year so we need Kirke

Kirke's role has been as a benchman like Bailey whose main role has been defence. Both have been well under par in the go forward department. Neither are workshy, rather they are just plain inadequate in attack.

In what way was he integral to our success?

Are you saying we wouldnt have still won the titles we have without his efforts? imo he has had his chances this past few weeks to step up and show his importance as a senior player but all he has done is confirmed his averageness and has been put to shame by our youth.its a travesty he has been given another two years.

I think if he's going anywhere it's to the NRL
