I'm with you on this one. Each player has a different worth to the game. These values are not necessarily shown in stats or visible to supporters whose knowledge of the game is not that deep. Depending on the game plan, a prop who makes contact, then trudges 3 or 4 mopre yards slowly with men on him, isn't necessrily as useful to a team, as someone who hits the line, takes contact, and gets the ball played quickly. Especially where you rely on a quick PTB to get a roll on.

Basically, Peacock is rubbish. Bailey = god

I liked him yesterday, just to spite the fat idiot stood next to me. Calling him a p*ssy, and a big black pudding.

I'm sorry, but no RL player is a p*ssy in my eyes

Good to see the usual culprits defending the indefensible - good old Ryan plays the ball quickly? Its a good fooking job, he's on the deck before he even hits the defensive line.

Paul Sculthorpe summed him up perfectly before putting big bad Ryan on his backside.

And who can forget his run round the back of Leeds players cowardfest at Knowsley Road, pure carry on film that one!!

I never shut my eyes and get out of the way when placing body on line.

Thought Bailey was dire until he re appeared after getting a bang on the head.
Maybe that helped
Tried to gee the team up a bit and put in one or two decent hits.
Was far too predictable in his first stint and fell off tackles except when he was third man in!
Diskin looked dis interested for large parts of the game and Donald was woeful IMO.
Burgess`s defence was good not sure I would say he took over Peacocks role though.
Ball retention is similar to Thackrays unfortunately.
Thought Ali, JJB and Kylie did well.
Any news on Abletts injury?

You're tough! I'm sure you'd do a great job.

For me Bailley is a bit of an enigma. His size and aggresive reputation are not backed up by the yards he makes forward, and yet he still gets in the faces of the opposing players.

Defensively, I'm not too bothered whether he's 1st, 2nd or 3rd into the tackle, as long as he does get in. And he's proved more than capable of putting in big hits that raise the whole team.

On balance, I'd rather see him in the squad, than playing elsewhere.

Titchy Tinyrod reckons he's macho because he once did some foxy boking in his Halfix gym.

You aren't very good are you at this are you, clearly a jump on the bandwagon merchant when SL started.

I tell you what I want, I want a player who breaks or pushes the defensive line backwards to gain momentum and disorganise the opponents defensive line, I don't want a player who fails to do anything other than fall over of be driven backwards.

Sculthorpe's view remains far more creditable than anyone else on this board.

Credible.

Yes Indeedy, I would rather take the view of world class ex SL player who has played at the very top level and performed at International level v the Leeds believests on Southstander which include you my little plum.

Titch, I think he was correcting your grammar rather than backing you up
