Leeds Game

Quote: GiantJo "Ablett is very good player for a champion squad. Very consistent, plays smart and can slot in several positions. More over he will be very good value for money. This frees up money for the blue chip players like Webb / Buderus / Eastwood. Also Ablett is one of those players who could almost certainly earn more at a different club but chooses to play at a club where he is happy and playing quality rugby.

Comparing him with Kirmond is not too meaningful. A comparison with Wild is more apt. Both athletic and able to play back row / centre. I would say Wild is a better player. However he is not twice as good as Ablett - who probably earns less than half of Wild's salary. Kirmond is a more explosive player than Ablett and more likely to deliver 2 x 20 mins spells and be a more destructive runner.'"

Thank god for that - a bit of sense. The last 3/4 pages on this thread has been childish bickering which brings utter non sense.

Its going to be a great game on sunday. You have 2 mobile packs and some very pacey backs. You can be sure that Leeds are going to be full of confidence after Fridays display. Against Melbourne we stood toe to toe with the worlds best. Best team to come out of the NRL in a long long time. Leeds took confidence from that and put a cricket score on Quins. When you have Internationals thoughout the squad that are playing with confidence then that spells danger for the next opponents. Anyone that thinks Leeds will go 10 steps backwards and put in a performance like we did against Wakey, Salford and Crusaders can think again! Having said that it is going to be very difficult to break your defence down and score enough points to win the game in your own backyard.

If there is any side in SL that can destroy the Giants this weekend then its Leeds. If the Giants let Leeds have any room then it will be a steam train. On the other hand if there is any side in SL that can frustrate Leeds and limit the space they have then its the Giants.
