| Westwood grabbed Webb around the mouth quite blatantly when effecting the tackle. Then the elbow/forearm when down on his face. I'd say the forearm wasn't deliberate but was caused by him grabbing him round the face so the first offence was Westwood's.
Webb's worst moment was the grapple tackle on Morley right near his own line. The tackle was already being completed, Morley gets himself up and Webb just grabs him round the neck and starts pulling him back. It was just madness. It was always going to be a penalty and it wasn't over enthusiasm in a tackle or anything like that, just someone seeing a vulnerable player and deciding he'll try to rip his head off.
From what I've seen of Webb so far I can't understand why Leeds persist with him because he seems well past his best. Surely Hardaker would be a better option at fullback, or someone like BJB or Lee Smith?

I don't even think he is the best full back at the club any more. Look all over our board and most people agree. I think he is only there this year because we have an average 3/4 line age of about 7
If BJB offered as much at fullback as Webb as an attacking pivot or a last-line defender then Webb wouldn't be at the club any more. He doesn't, so he is.

| Webb in the first half of the WCC was back to his very best. His second half effort was a bit erratic to say the least. If he performed to that first half level every week only Tomkins would be ahead of him in SL.
A number of Leeds fans weren't happy with him being retained for this year, but I was, especially given the young threequarter line we have. He makes mistakes and gives away penalties, but he's also a threat in attack and generally solid in defence. It will be interesting to see if he stays beyond this year, and if not who gets the gig for next year.

| When Grix moved to fullback at the Giants we wondered how we would cope without Hodgson.
We didn't miss Hodgson one bit. That says it all about Grix at fullback.
When Webb first arrived he truly was world class. Now, I wouldn't swap him for any of the Giants that can play fullback.

| I agree Grix is a good player but nowhere near Hodgson in term of quality.
I think Grix is just one of those players thats willing to put 100% in every game and in every minute, which makes up for this.
Leeds have a couple of whingy players, Webb, Bailey, Smith to name but a few, the question would be raised would any get into Wigan or Saints squads? The only saving grace is Leeds also have quite a few players which just shutup and get the job done ala Peacock etc otherwise I'd never watch Leeds play.....
