Im not complaining about his workrate, it's his shocking handling that worries me and that hasn't just happened the past 3 games, I've seen him do it all season.

Agree on both counts.

I suspect that if Ablett plays on Monday, then Kirke may be dropped. The other option would be that Sinni wont play as it wouldn't suprise me if Bluey had said to both Ablett and Sinni that they will play in one match each over Easter.

13 handling errors in 9 games shows you are wrong

In 5 of the 9 games he made less than 2 handling errors which again shows you are wrong.

Even though you're shouting YOU ARE STLL WRONG.




Why, because he knocked on in a game?

Should McClennan also consider dropping Webb, Delaney, Senior, Hall, McGuire, Bailey, Kirke, Buderus and Lauitiiti also after they knocked on last night as well.

Jones-Buchanan does need to work on one area of his game though - drop kicking.

I agree he isnt the only leeds player with butter fingers, you cant fault him for effort, I would be happier seeing KIRKE dropped for the Catlans game, rater than JJB.

Hard to imagine Kirke being in a position to charge a kick down & score a try such as JJB did in the 2nd minute against Hull KR.
He does seem to have passes fired at him so he gets man & ball as a result of our insistence on a flat attack, hardly surprising then that we drop so much ball, JJB included.

Hard but not impossible. Melbourne's scramble was better than Hull KR's but if the ball had sat up for Kirke like it did for Jones-Buchanan I'd have probably backed him to score the opener in this season's WCC.

Do you have a life outside this forum?

Yes thank you. Yourself?

At the moment, I would not drop JJB. he is clearly trying hard, its just not coming off for him at the moment. Hopefully he will come back to the form that we all know him for, But when Eastwood is back and ablett etc i would be tempted to give him a rest.

He was much better tonight & had he been in Kirke's position to score that try I'd have backed JJB every time.

Fair point but clever effort from Pelo going for the arms putting Kirke off.

Agreed.

He played a lot better tonight. His line speed is very good, he must be one of the fittest in the team.

Yes he was much improved tonight
