And he does big minutes.

Cuthbertson is the stand out player in SL this season.

Fantastic signing for Leeds.

The first barge from Mosoe is entertaining but then you haven't time to boil an egg and he's off.

Re Richards - He is morphing into a bit of pudding . I Noticed the physique combined with mobility
of singleton and yates compared to him. He's not doing himself any favours with the increasing number of
silly mistakes.

I know what I see. Cuthbertson's form has been excellent. But when things were looking dicey, say in the game against Cas when it looked like things could go either way, whilst Cuthbertson was throwing passes anywhere (some going to hand, some going anywhere but) - it was Peacock who steadied the ship allowing Leeds to regroup. It's happened time and time again.

He might not play as many minutes as he used to. But the minutes he plays are absolutely vital.

You only have to look at the above answers.

Leeds could've been portrayed in the previous years as relaying on 3/4 key players to always get them through games but this year is very different. Across the board players are standing up as has been shown with losing three players like Hall, Briscoe and JJB (the latter two had really strong starts to the season).

The old theory that all relied on Peacock/Sinfield/Burrow/McGuire to drag us through has well and truely gone and if you still think that (especially after tonight) then you need to take a closer look. It's 2015 not 2014.....you need to realise that.

Give over. He's not even Leeds' stand-out player.



Richards is nineteen. He won't mature physically for another two or three years. At that point we'll know whether he is a "pudding" or not. In any case - comparisons with Singleton are silly. They do not perform the same function.

I also saw the game we played against Hudds and Peacock was the one throwing stuff around and giving away penalties and Cuthbertson steady the ship on that occasion and has done on a few occasions when he's been reintroduced back onto the field after a breather when it's seemed to go a bit pear shaped in his absence.

It's a few things as Biff alludes to, Aiton has been a revelation out of dummy half and gets Leeds moving, Cuthbertson's offloads have helped create space for our quicker players to exploit, and don't be fooled, he does the hard yards as well as the flashy stuff. Stevie Ward has probably been the best 2nd rower in the comp so far and along with Ablett gives us a serious threat out wide on both edges

I'd agree about Sinfield to be honest, many Leeds fans (I wasn't one of them) thought McGuire would be the half that would make way for Sutcliffe but, McGuire has also been superb, it's a shame he's 32 because he's playing as well as he did in 2010.

So in a nutshell, they've got more pace and grunt in the middle to set the platform for the backs to do their thing.

You are desperately clutching at straws regarding our squad management. JP is retiring at the end of the season. Leeds have already spelled him more than ever this season. We love him, but our succession planning is top notch, and our whole team will not just capitulate next season, no matter how much you want it to.

He's probably in the top 3 this year along with Aiton and Stevie Ward. With Watkins and McGuire adding to a top 5. No Peacock there.

No when we were 6 for 6 I wasn't doubting - because plan A was working and there was no need to change the plan. We're now 1 from 4 and it's not fickle to say that our inability to change from plan A is a source of major concern. Our game plan for the last few games needed to be different from the first couple in the season and it hasn't.

We realistically don't have that major an injury list - were missing 4 realistically, and a couple of back up options - the options we did have didn't play well - that's the much bigger concern here. You can't just blithely hope for no injuries, as every club gets them every year.

While we may not of thrown the towel in like last year, we always came back with a response - I would equate tonight with similar to magic weekend - after the game Wellens made his speech, and there was a general recognition with what was wrong - the same doesn't appear to happen this year,

I don't care if other teams are in poor form. Yes it'll contribute to us staying up there in the recent future, I'd rather worry about our own form...

I'm not talking about any other position than prop. And no player in the Leeds side performs Peacock's function to anything like the same degree.

But I'm happy to wait until next season to be proven right.

I know what he's saying. Even though Peacock is significantly past his best he's still a massive presence on the field and he's a superb leader. He's like a Northern Martin Johnson, even now he'd a huge loss for any side - for his mental approach as much as anything.
