Donalds had a quiet start this year

Is that anything like the American that bought London Bridge thinking it was Tower Bridge?

Well, the players were different in style but neither turned out to be a lemon so it was all good really. Two fewer RU players is always a plus.

Kylie has been a superb signing for Leeds, hard to imagine Leeds would want to lose him tbh.

Had a hand in a couple of nice moves. And scored a technically difficult try. He has had a slow start, I'd like to see him looking for the ball more, if he feels he isn't seeing it. I noticed in the stats against Wigan he didn't even make a tackle. I know wingers can be redundant in some games, but I feel he could increase his work-load.

haven't you heard? We're not relying on Opta anymore.

TVOC will explain why.

Oh ok.

These 'stats' of mine were compiled privately from my Polish bitch Mikolaj. He has excellent attention to detail. They're solid stats.

If Wigan choose to offer Kylie stupid money and/or a longer contract than Leeds is prepared to offer then he will go.
& why should we worry since it will further weaken Wigan.
Though, why would they want Kylie unless they're preparing to offload Palaesina or another prop?
Fielden perhaps or more likely to be a homegrown youngster (O'Carroll?)
Alternatively it could just be agent's talk as part of the negotiating process.

Seem to recall one poor effort against ainscough..

No it didn't, i was being sarcastic. Though i thought donald was our worst player on the night - i really rate the lad and his form will pick up.

True.

Yes i wonder if next year is playing on his mind.. only time will tell.

Agree entirely but in further mitigation Donald also got bumped off the tackle by the Leeds cover defender (Sinfield I think).

Not the greatest effort from Donald despite that. When you think he was switched to the right to shore up the defense on that side it makes you wonder.

It does, when you consider he didn't make a tackle in that game. IMO wingers are very much confidence players, it's easy to go missing, so when you are involved in the action, you have to make it count. A few try's will get him back there. Defensive wise he's usually superb. Just think back to the previous week when he made a try saving tackle on Paul Johnson. Quality effort.
