Worse though, he fluffed a loose ball giving Hudds posession back that led to Hodgson's (Brett) try.

So by settled centre partner, you mean a player that has been playing on the wing himself for the last couple of seasons, so therefore will not necessarily be ad hoc with all aspects of a centre's game?

Surely that's exactly what he is at this stage?

| I think this playing on the wrong side stuff is wearing a bit thin now. He's had long enough and he's good enough to adapt, and some of the mistakes he is making he shouldn't be making on any side of the pitch

To be fair mate it's not just last weeks performance that's brought this kind of discussion about.
Fwiw i'd love him to prove us wrong the sooner the better but if he doesn't pick up his form then it's only fair he should be dropped or "rested" and i know it's pedantic but he made more than 2 errors mate

I agree mate but imo the other players have at some point improved their own performance whereas donald seems to have struggled all season.
I know part of it was the positional switch,the different centre partners and the team overall not performing to their best but i think he should of settled in that position by now and his individual performances should of picked up also.
It can be perceived as scapegoating but i don't think it is and i hope he turns it around because at the moment watkins has come and outshone him,broughton is looking good in a poor hull team and we all know how hall is performing so it's up to him to step up now.

| watkins was good against shudds mate, rest of the time he has been very inconsistant. i would agree these were at centre and he will, in time, be a top player.
however to judge him on one game on the wing is wrong

| hall has done very,very well this season and his england call up is fantastic.
what he lacks is speed off the mark which donald has.
senior creates far more and i firmly believe donald would prosper back on the left.
hall is a big, tough lad who when he gets going is quick. i think he would be good on either side

He still outshone the player who's been our best winger up until the start of this season which was more of my point.
I know he's been inconsistent at centre but what does that say about scotty???
If you pick the team "on form" then scotty doesn't get a look in at the moment which i hope he turns around asap.

The Leeds fekwits have got to have someone to have a go at each season.
