they are old enough when they leave school.

























and they leave school at 3-30

JP, Sinfield and JJB are untouchables in that you absolutely know they'll finish their careers with us and never play anywhere else. I suppose Kylie fits into that category too by dint of age. McGuire and Burrow are in a slightly different set as you could imagine them, like Webb, Lauititi and if he'd had his way Senior having a swansong somewhere else if they deteriorate and are pushed out of the Leeds team.

Then there's the category of players we definitely would like to be untouchable but might be tempted away from Leeds to the NRL or RU: Hall, Watkins, Hardaker, Ward, Sutcliffe.

Tad and G1 have just set the alarms off at yew tree headquarters

i'm not famous

G is infamous

I wore a tracksuit in the 1970s. Doesn't make me Jimmy Savile.

i don't remember the 70's

Rhinoms I know you started this thread as a serious subject but it has got quite funny

Keep up the good work

I know someone who our esteemed coach thinks is untouchable.......I can't bring myself to say/write his name....but he wears the no 17 shirt

Thought McCoy's was very poor on Saturday but thought at Wigan he was excellent and showed something we had been missing whilst he was out. Let's hope Saturday was just a blip Lee the rest of the team. He must be nervously looking over his shoulder at Sutcliffe though

If you mean McGuire I completely agree. He did play well against Wigan, it seems strange that his performance then wasn't acknowledged at the time.

Back to topic, Hardaker, Watkins, Sinfield, and Peacock for me. I like Moon also a lot, but would not term undroppable, and Ward when fit would be at the top. Anyone else I could give or take.

Yeah, auto complete on my tablet is to blame there

If Moon was dropable (and he should be IMO) then after his last game it'd be deserved. Anonymous.

For me it's no coincidence that Hall has had his worst try return in years stood outside him. Combining the pair on the left's try count so far this year (31) it's a long way short of the haul amassed by Hardaker/Hall prior to Webb's injury and Ablett/Hall after (53)

Can you drop the coach for the remainder of the season please.

To do a fair analysis of that you'd have to work out how often the ball reached the left centre position, factoring in how long after the play the ball it came and in what measure of space. Then compare those algorithms between 2012 and 2013, with further calculations detailing when Lunt was at acting-half and McShane/Burrow/Sinfield.

That might be beyond even your time and inclination, but I'd wager the conclusion would be that if you get them quicker ball, they'd do better.

Where were you a couple of months ago when we had this discussion, I could have used some support? I agree entirely about Moon. Very dissapointing first season IMO. His service is poor and he is far too easily tackled. Creates space then cuts back inside far too regularly. A fairly dangerous runner but far from a complete cenrte and, in all honestly, not as good a left centre as Ablett was last year.

You're wrong about him being anonymous on Saturday. I recall him conceding apenalty on tackle 5 and throwing a ball into touch.
