Didn't 'Kallum Watkins Left Boot' declare that Lee Smith would never play for Leeds again? One for one so far. |

| Quote: G1 "Two comparisons/analysis are necessary. Those games he propper he needs comparing with the other props in the 17 and those he played in 2nd row he should be compared with the other 2nd rowers in the 17.
The statistics,whilst a good barometer, don't tell the whole story as many games he will swicth between 2nd row and prop.
Ah, fekk it compare him with Kylie, Peacock, Bailey, Burgess, JJB, Ali, Ablett (when not in the centres - getting complicated isn't it).'"
Don't bother. The stats give some good insights, but would be no good for deciding whether a player is good or not, especially when gametime is not one of the stats published |

I mentioned this (offline) to another poster after a recent game and his 7 carries in the Hull game (when he received significant game time due to JJB's injury) show my impression was correct. |

Not to mention time consuming so hopefully all the b[iitchin[/ig will die down soon.
I have no problem in Kirke's retention at this stage as long as at some point suitable replacements for Toopi, Ellis, Scruton, and Eastwood can be found. |

If that pattern is repeated over a number of games your right. In a one off game it could mean anything though really. |

Toopi = Watkins
Scruton = Ambler
Ellis = Eastwood |

How many appearences did Scruton make last year? How many Ambler this?
How many appearances did Ellis make last year? How many Eastwood this?
That will tell us if they are replacements.

They replaced them in the squad, game time or not. |

The key word there would have been 'suitable'
I can't comment on the suitability of Ambler and Eastwood as I've yet to see them pull on a Leeds 1st team jersey.
Watkins has potential but not the consistency to be a suitable replacement for the outgoing International experienced centre.

Toopi will be virtually irreplaceable in your revisionist ideal of what he meant to the team. |
