Hardly a ringing endorsement, given his usual mid-contract lull...

Im intrigued ....

Peacock - Had a very bad injury that saw him miss pre season and join a team that was already on the back foot. He hasn't been as consitent but Im not sure what you want from a 30+ player who was out with such a bad injury.

Kylie - Ive notcied over the last few weeks more people having a pop at him. Two or three years ago when he was only playing in short stints but knocking people over they made a song up about him. For me he hasn't changed what he does. He's always played in short stints and as he gets older its only natural these stints will get shorter.

Bailey - Prob having his best season for a number of years. No problem with him at all.

Why have you only called out props?

Because I couldn't be bothered typing out a full list of every underperforming Leeds player in 2011, and it's a position where I believe the decline in performances has bitten hardest.

Peacock's still getting through a ton of work, but it's now quantity over quality.

Leuluai's stints (or certainly the part of them where he's effective) have now got so short he's rivalling Feka in the shortest useful time on the field stakes.

Bailey has (unsurprisingly) picked up his form as his contract gets nearer to the end - something he's got previous for doing before lapsing back into the comfort zone. If he spent more time concentrating on being effective with and without the ball rather than being a pantomime villain, there's an international prop in there somewhere.

Given that GH has already revealed in the YEP that Bailey was "already" signed up for 2012 it seems his upturn in form this year deserves more credit rather than just the "he's playing for a new deal" it's been credited to.

Best tactic is to tell them that if they win he'll resign!

I take it Nantwich and his fellow naysayers shall be staying at home on Saturday?

Out of interest. How old is Nantwich exile do you think?

Why is his age relevant?

In terms of the naysayers staying at home I think its become pretty clear that many many Leeds fans have been reluctant to buy tickets, at least from Leeds (suspect a lot have them from the RFL direct). Perhaps the real question is why?

I can't understand the pessimism from Leeds, some of the squads on here have some top players that could well beat Wigan on their day. I don't think that this match is as clear cut as it being made out by the media.

Some would think that Wigan are being set up for a massive fall (again)

Seems I have a stalker

Don't hold back now, let us know what you really think.

Did you get a ten year old to help you write this ?

How come Ramrod never comes on here anymore anyway? I hear he's quit his job at Apple now, so you'd think he'd have more time on his hands.

A retort typical of your usual well balanced and considered style.
