Agree with this , also we need Ablett back in the SR asap wasted at Centre imo.
I'd have a back row of Delaney ,Ablett with Sinfield at 13 with Jjb and Clarky off the bench.

I would add ablett to that list as well.

I was speaking to Harry Jepson at the weekend and he rates Ablett as one of his top ever players. His words were... "He's sacrificed his career for the sake of this club. In and out of the squad, in and out of position, never in the limelight, all for the sake of playing for the club he loves and 110% every week."

I wholeheartedly agree.

I'm pleased that Abbo is starting to get his praises sung a bit more.

Agreed whole-heartedly.

Using these stats, the ones that stand out are penalties conceded, runs from dummy half and the face Leeds had to make 86 more tackles and 22 more marker tackles than the Dragons meant a fatigue factor would kick in, but Leeds lead in some of the stats and some of the stats some coaches see as important, offloads, tackle busts, clean breaks.

For me, the one area Catalans dominated was in and around the play the ball, the amount of runs from dummy half back that up.

Perhaps TVOC, the stats are lying to us in that the game should have read a lot closer on the score board than actually happened?

But Leeds have the greatest hooker, if not player in the world. Surely Leeds should be more dominant in and around the play the ball every week. You're not saying an NRL nobody like Henderson outshone Buderus are you?

I bet if you'd have substituted Henderson into our team on Sunday though he would have looked no where near as good behind our 'awesome' pack creating all that great go forward and quick PTB's

No, he's saying that if you have props who hit the line hard, push their nose through and then find their elbows and knees, then any old Tom Noddy can look good out of dummy half, but you already knew that even though it doesn't fit your agenda.

Even Diskin

How very predictable that the excuses roll out for Buderus failing to dominate a game, yet again, and be outshone by a lesser opponent, yet again. It couldn't possibly be his fault. It must be someone else's.

Buderus should be serving on the front line in Afghanistan. It would appear he's bullet proof.

Was one of your best players I thought, playing behind a joke pack performance.

Henderson's performance was based entirely on his pack's go-forward and quick PTBs. Buderus was royally shafted by his fellow forwards.

Interesting. Considering you continually post the same rubbish excuse when unsuccessfully trying to defend that underperforming number 7 we have. I guess the excuse only counts when it is your agenda?

When have I defended McGuire's recent inept displays?

When did McGuire where the number 7 shirt again?

He's played scrum half in our last two defeats/matches.
