"Half Brained"?

The truth is out...


Loz wears blonde wigs......

Jimmy is in the 19 again for Sunday.

Will be nice to see him get another run see if he can build on a promising start.

Yup.

IMO he deserves a start in the LC position: we know Ablett can step in if it starts to go titzupp

Was reading an article on the Leeds site (the one about the world record attempt) and noticed he's Hunslet's top try scorer. Thought I'd check out his stats on the Hunslet site and he's apparently scored 9 in 10 games which I think is pretty good in an average Championship side. And almost twice as many as the next top try scorer of 5. In any team I think these are good stats. I know his two games for Leeds this year were poor but with Ablett and Peacock out for up to another 7 weeks and Vickery playing average would like to see him given a few more games. The problem with this though is that I wouldn't play him on the wing as I think he is a poor winger but a much better centre and could still give Watkins all the ball he requires to score tries - as long as it get's that far out in the first place.

Hope he gets his chance soon just hope it's mistake free.Anything less will not be tolerated by our first team coach .Unless your one of the untouchables of course.

From what I hear he has had some strong showings for Hunslet and also has the respect of the coach there from again his work ethic which was noted by Leeds when they signed him.

Would like to see him given a run as you suggest inside Watkins, he showed good ball skills and off loading with Hall. Defence was strong and he just needs a regular run in the team. Watkins can come into the line at various times and look for gaps, but I don't see it as weakness if we can Keinhorst in at and Watkins on the weak, no weaker than last game and pace wise on the wing with watkins a good improvement

Have made exactly the same observation elsewhere.

Anything is better than Vickery on the wing.....

...except pushing Watkins there. Short-term it will help Leeds, long-term it would be a criminal waste of a real talent. Perhaps Wigan should play Tomkins on the wing next time Richards is out.

Just waiting for someone to say "do you think the coach does that based on one performace when he sees him in training every day?"

The answer is yes, he does.

Fully agreed.watkins needs to be kept in the centre from here on in.hes developing into the best in the country and it is only going to stump his progress to keep moving him round the three quarter line.
