2 of the stats you quoted we were better

1 was the missed tackles and I have since added tackle efficiency which there is a difference of 1%. The other is the error count, which I said originally was the reason we lost. My point originally was that with ball in hand, and defensively, ie line speed/tackling, there wasnt much difference at all and there wasnt. They scored 3 tries off of errors from kicks and 1 from a great kick to the corner where Vickery decided to run in 20 metres. The other 2 tries were well worked.

The difference is I share a negative opinion of Kirke that is reinforced by his performances.

You give a negative opinion of, say, Burrow, who proves you wrong by winning a Harry Sunderland award or JJB who proves you wrong by winning player of the year, for example.

In other words, I know what I am talking about and you don't. It's fairly self evident.

did anyone really think there wouldn't be a blip soon after 2 tough games? if it wasn't friday it would have been next week

We had enough ball near their line to at least score 1, their defense was very solid and our attack was too disjointed even when we did manage to hold on to the ball for 6 tackles.

I think you can have a blip without been as dire as we were tbh mate it was on par with anything we've seen bad in the last decade imo.

vickery is no better than the youngsters coming through the system.
why on earth hetherington would bring him in before the likes of chisolm and keinhorst baffles me.......an aussie who cant get a gig back home turns up here and gets a contract when he is ordinary baffles me......well done gary for doing your part to develop the game and youngsters here......

Being.

And Ian Kirke proves you wrong by winning grand final winners ring's. To compare the worse of Kirkes performances to Rob Burrows best performance is way too bias and proves you don't have a clue what your talking about.

It's fairly self evident

Get Damo...!

I watched the 'highlights' and said on another thread that blaming Vickery for so many of the Hudds tries is ludicrous. He made a bad miss for the first, but several of those kicks could and should have been dealt with by the fullback, not the winger - who would have struggled to make any difference had he been Offiah-esque, especially on a slippery surface.

Watkins was nowhere near in the right position, especially given the number of kicks that led to tries. Vickery had to stay in the line for several of them as he was marking his opposite number.

Defending kicks is a team game. Leeds failed miserably against a very good kicker.

Highlights from Hunslet, report read well for all the Rhinos'....rumour has it that Brian MaC was at the game as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGAxZefQzXw
