Wrote his name in history did Albert.
Are you for real?

| Poor display by my team but dont blame Dixon, the only people who don't make mistakes are people who don't do anything! I wont slag off any of our players on the day they did not perform but we all live to have another go. Well done Leeds now lets move on.

| Dixon had a bad game, but I'd have him in my team every day of the week.
He didn't hide after a few mistakes, he put his hand up and tried to do something unlike a few of his teammates!

Dixon made the comical attempt at the high ball which led to Briscoe's 90 metre run to the tryline. Dixon could have chased him and with his speed might have run him down, but he didn't try. In that instance Briscoe was chased by the much slower Joshua Mantellato who had no chance, and by Kenneth Sio from the other wing, and the latter almost saved the try.
The fact is that Dixon's weaknesses include being a terrible defender. He just doesn't have the full range of abilities that we expect from a professional rugby league player.

Seemed to remember him getting run over on the wing 3 times by his opposite number for t-r-y-s in a televised game a bit back. He can't defend.
Quality today though.

| Absolute shocker. Counted 10 errors in attack alone.
Poor lad. If I was Chester, I'd send him home for a week whilst the rest of the team go through the video replays.

I wouldn't. For every try he scores he will cost you 3 or 4. His defence is poor and he's worse than Richie Mathers under the high ball. If it was NFL where there are two teams for attack and defence, he'd be world class. But until he can sort his defensive frailties out, he's not SL level.
I feel sorry for him, as his heart is obviously there.

| Kieran Dixon's performance today was one of the saddest and most humiliating spectacles I have ever seen.

| That lad showed more heart and guts than most RL players do. What it seems prove is that the British player and coaching development system are they shambles they come across as.
No disrespect to the hard working volunteers who go way beyond the call, because of their passion for the sport.
It seems to me that even the basic skills are lacking in so many players. This should not have to be taught to "professional" players yet watching so many games it is very apparent. Those who have mastered these skills are seen as something extraordinary which shouldn't be the case . It should be the norm.
The solution? Better coaching skills and training. Obstacles, too much money WASTED on 2nd rate, past it, never will be pension seeking , holidaying crocks. Some other sport seems to have the right idea. RL is still it's insular parochial my club, my club, my club only mentality. The end result is there for everyone to see.

| The lad was hopeless I am afraid. I have never seen such a poor display at any recognised level of RL. To do it on a big stage will destroy his confidence. I don't not what the coach was thinking of - should have been subbed off (if selected in the first place). Made our sport look amateur beyond belief. It was truly embarrassing to see the ball dropped so often.

Couldn't agree more. Just looked at a clip of the 1962 CC Final on Pathe - the passing accuracy was so much better than in the modern game.

Not as sad as the majority of your posts.

| None of his errors were as funny as his reverse '20-40' against Cas this year, when he somehow managed to put an attacking cross-field kick in Cas' 20 back into his own 40m. Best thing I've ever seen on an RL pitch.
On a serious note........nope, sorry. There isn't one!
