Without wishing to sound like Nantwich it is very hard to imagine any quick kid from the academy doing a worse job. Positioning out on attack and defence, no pace, no threat, no confidence.

Handling and positioning can be taught, at least, but the thing that worried me most was Saints' last try last week. Yes, the break was down to a horrible read and missed tackle by McGuire which left the whole right side exposed, but Percival burned Vickery off so easily it looked like he was running in cement, and then, when the cover got over and play slowed as the ball went through Manu and Meli, Vickery had caught up with Meli only to run alongside without making an effort at a tackle for a few yards before getting left behind again. Any winger with pace would have at least made things more difficult at various stages of the move.

How many dropped catches were there, it felt like every set.

Need to get hardaker and jones bishop back as soon as possible. Get Watkins and Ablett back in position.

Still not sure about the hooker and half back situation.

Current England scrum half/stand off must be bloody good, would love to see him play oh hang on ;-0)

he made all three half backs inc the captain look like chumps

If Vickery had a pedigree of sorts he might be given the benefit of the doubt. He has never played top level rugby before and looks so out of his depth it's terrifying.

Southampton F.C. Once embarrassed themselves by giving10 minutes to a bloke they were told was George Weah's cousin. Vickery, I'm afraid looks to be a similar error.

We wouldn't have stood a chance if Sir captain fantastic Kev had been on the field...



..oh hang on

It's no wonder the Aussies said 'Kev who?'

Shame its just one game...try putting a run together in the cup or playoff sometime

Aye, must have missed all those GF's, CC's and WCC's that Brough has lead Hudds to..........oh hang on

F**k it, he ripped Leeds apart in one weekly game.......he must be the best halfback EVER!!!..........

If Leeds lose a game it MUST mean they don't care.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........boring.........

We usually do put a run together in the cup, probably better than Leeds over the last 10 years or so without looking.

2003 = Leeds - RU.....Hudds - 4th
2004 = Leeds - 4th.....Hudds - SF
2005 = Leeds - RU......Hudds - 4th
2006 = Leeds - SF......Hudds - RU
2007 = Leeds - 5th.....Hudds - QF
2008 = Leeds - SF......Hudds - 5th
2009 = Leeds - 4th.....Hudds - RU
2010 = Leeds - RU.....Hudds - 5th
2011 = Leeds - RU.....Hudds - QF
2012 = Leeds - RU.....Hudds - SF

Leeds = 27 wins 10 losses............Average QF/SF
Hudds = 20 wins 10 losses...........Average 5th/QF

So probably not

No but it does show that you have a habit of saying things which are wrong. As illustrated by the Brough boots comment.

I'd expect better than that from you ponner tbh.
Maybe when Brough has put together enough "big game" winning performances as "Sir Kev" he might be worth as much as one of Sinfields laces until then i'd just enjoy yer traditional pretending to be contenders.
