BJB
Buderus
Bailey

Burrow had a decent game imo lost count how many times he and Buderus broke from the ptb and looked for support that did'nt f#8king arrive.
I also agree with Al Rhino winning is EVERYTHING in these matches.

1. Buderus - He got through a lot of defence, especially in his first stint. Good running from dummy half in second stint.
2. BJB - Excellent clearing runs
3. difficult to come up with no.3!

A generally poor display I thought.

Watched it on TV - glad we didn't have to put up J Davies!!
How poor is Ray French? In first half he described Chases' penalty kick to touch which landed in play and bounced into touch as 'a fantastic kick'!!! What planet is he on?
I hope the grammar police aren't watching I'm not sure about that apostrophe

Bailey was awsome when on, can't understand why he didn't have longer game time, Buderus was all over as usual and burrow posed a real threat. By the way I was there and 2 minutes late, follow the advice given I did got caught up in the traffic on the M18

JP was pretty consistent all game, then rose the bar immensely in last 10 minutes. Wow.
Buderus, some world class moments that had to admired by all.
JJB again his usual work horse self. Machine.

Sorry

..His name is Chase and not Chases...therefore [iChase's[/i penalty kick. Pity.

Boring I know...but 1.Buderus .....the guy is class. We are really going to miss him not least his leading the defence.

Thanks Nantwich - I had tonsilitis when we did apostrophes at school

You're welcome...think I had same when they did being and been



Apostrophes are easy really. Use them to signify missing letters or to show possession of something/someone. ....AND the only time to use one with [iits[/i most common mis-use is when [iit's[/i actually the abbreviation of [iit[/i [iis[/i.

Burrow was great running from dummy half but his passing quality, and his choice when faced with a few options, was dreadful

Just for G1

1. Buderus
2. Kirke
3. Bailey

I bet Kirke made double figures with his number of drives today, much better stuff from him, much more aggressive. Thought that Sinfield was very ordinary with ball in hand, but he's the man when it comes to pressure kicks.

And it was brave, brave, brave Sir Kevin who's half break created the broken filed for Danny Mags to exploit setting up position for the winning kick.

that was the first time he'd done soemthing like that all day too. Maybe because he has been so "sensationally inventive" over the last few years, I've got used to this from him, and for the most part today he was poor with the ball throwing some terrible passes.

That said, if my life depended on someone making a kick, there is only one person I would choose to handle a kick under pressure.

It was Buderus who forced the error that gave us the field position to score. Similar to Peacock against the pies last season when he rushed Tomkins ? into a knock on when trying to kick. I would struggle to come up with 3 top performers, we were mediocre at best.

Though he was fantastic ball in hand. Took us all around the park.

You probably reacting to a couple of loose passes. People should watch how many awful passes Chase gave in that match that led to turnovers if they so covet him.

Anyway,

1. Peacock
2. Sinfield
3. Bailey

Honorable mention for Buderus. Kirke was much better in terms of work rate and quality of work.

Top three:

1.) Peacock - Excellent work made some real metres and at crucial times. Best game I have seen him have since coming back from injury.
2.) Buderus - Looked v dangerous in first stint running out of dummy half and defensive effort was as reliable as ever.
3.) Bailey - Form continues to improve. Some real hard running and even gave a great if ineffective scamper back for their try.

Other notes of interest:

Webb = V poor. 3 forward passes though one was quetionable. Some bad options. Didnt appear on the fringes as 3rd man in from the wing at all like he has been doing so well last few weeks. Did everything right on the Chase try apart from fogot to tackle him.

BJB = V good but vastly underused. Hes so dangerous when has some space to run into so get the ball to him ffs. Great under high ball.

Watkins - See above. Get the ball to him. 2 of the most dangerous players in our team and two of the most x factor players in the league and they have barely had a touch. Sort it out McDermott.

Sinfield - Poor for 70 mins. Took bad options at lot of the time with the ball. Kept coming back inside when he should have got it out to the above. But stood up when it mattered and his kicks under pressure are amazing.

Burrow - Dangerous scampering out of dummy half, everything else dire. Some dreadful pass options and executions. Kicking game as woeful as ever.

Thought the players gave their all, cant fault commitment or the defence but this really was a poor pefromance against an average side. Obviously delighted we won but really glossed over some ponderous and dreadfully strucuted attack, highlighted by the fact Hall BJB and Watkins barely had a sniff all afternoon even with plenty of field position. Far too conservative against a team whose defence has looked seriously suspect for the past 3 months. Played into their hands. Presume this came from the coach and we got out of jail and if we had lost the game plan would have been our downfall imo.

Webb got pulled for a try-scoring pass to Jones-Buchanan (unlucky would be putting it mildly) and a 'Tom Brady' effort to Delaney.

Not sure where the third came from unless you can enlighten me? I may have nodded off and missed it waiting for Leeds to put Cas out of their misery.

__________

1) Jones-Bishop - continues to strongly suggest the decision to loan him out for 2010 and re-sign Donald was a crazy option and to think it needed Donald to walk away for this season also.

2) Buderus - Just quality. Leeds' best and most enthusiastic defender. If Leeds release him for 2012 (without an adequate top class replacement can be found and I doubt that it can) they'll regret it.

3) Burrow - McShane who? Not all quality but for an 80 minute effort he's difficult to look past.

Plenty of others I thought did well also. Watkins was a threat and gave a couple of instict passes to his winger creating space out wide. Peacock and Jones-Buchanan were their usual selves and Bailey continued his search for a new deal.

Maybe Jones Bishop is playing like this because of thye experience he gained at Harlequins last year, away from the spotlight?

I'll say this, as well as BJB is coming on, he should have finished that break and beaten McGoldrick on the outside. Donald would've been under the sticks.

Yes he should have feigned to come inside then burned him on the outside.
In a similar vein where was Ryan Hall when the ball was shipped out to Ablett who stepped in touch, can't help but feel that had Hall been in his regular spot he'd have scored.

That was my first thought but if I remember correctly he had just taken the last tackle I think.

1. Burrow
2. Bailey
3. Sinfield

I thought Burrow was constantly asking questions of the line and a constant threat. Bailey took some great drives in and Sir Kevin needs no explanation nerves of steel.
