The comment was made in comparison to Peacock who a week before the Wigan CC game attended a Bramley game with his leg still in pot - his determination to make the Wigan was in direct contrast to Ali who took another 6 weeks to return from a calf strain!!! He played another 30 minutes and he is out again?

Do you think Peacock would have been out for as long with the same injury as Ali - no I doubt it, so yes I do think like Brad Clyde he is not earning his money?

What a completeidiot you are.

Unbelievable comment to make.

No there not. No one is criticising him the way they're criticising Ali. Which is bizarre given their respective acheivements for Leeds, career longevity and dedication to the club.

I've no idea.

1 - Wellens
2 - Gardner
3 - Gidley
4 - Flannery
5 - Meli

Has always been the preferred lineup on the odd occasion when they've all been fit. We also have Lomax and Foster in the squad. Unless Potter is going to make a big call and drop one of those mentioned Lomax could come in and kick I suppose.

We could always put Flannery to the backrow, Meli to centre and one of them on the wing I suppose. Decisions, decisions.

No doubt Flannery will score.

Cunningham is due a try against us also.

So are you saying that Peacock played whilst not fit?

Or that Ali is faking injury?

Or both?

The last time St Helens (or is that Saints RL now, oh dear) had those five available Lomax was selected on the wing and was the designated kicker.

Despite that I agree that they have a decision to make and your above selection wouldn't surprise me.

It is obvious what I am saying - all players are carrying injuries ie strains/ tears etc it is the nature of professional sport - some are able to play through the pain barrier and some will only play when they the pain barrier is at its lowest - you decide which camp Peacock is in and which camp Ali and Brad Clyde are/were in.

Clear as mud


[i"Well said - would we expect an employee to attend work if they were clearly unfit? no - why do some think rugby players are any different?"[/i

I hope you beat Saints tomorrow as I bet if you don't you'll take it out on us next Friday.
