Melbourne: You're having a laugh surely?
You cannot have watched the same game I did

| Quote: Gotcha "What a pointless interpretation of stats that is in this argument.
Kirmond played 17 games, Ablett played 27 games including 3 play off games. Ablett also played 3 of those games at centre. I know you, and you are not daft in the slightest, so you know the play off games have far more intensity than a normal super league game. You also know normal super league games towards the back end of the season are much more intensive than earlier in the season. That is when less metres and less busts are made.
Kirmond's stats are not comparable to Abletts. What would be comparable is if you took Abletts stats agains the same 17 teams that made up Kirmonds, providing most of those are not at the back end of the season. Then you would have a fairer outcome.
But as much as I or you whatever like Kirmond as a player, you ask either coach and they would have Ablett in there in an instant.'"
You know me? That's a bit scary!!!

To be honest I couldn't give a monkeys about how good/bad Ablett is and I doubt many people outside Lids do either.
Have a safe journey over on sunday, and hope you're eating humble pie for supper, although I very much doubt people like you do humble.
i think you'll find that i was quoting 'crappy little club' from one of your fans signatures - please read again
and is getting quite hard to do 'humble' as we keep winning the league! maybe someone will de-throne us this year and then ill try my best just for you darling

And that my friend is Leeds choice, what I said in my post is I would not swap anyone for Ablett or even have him for free, I feel that Gilly and Fa alogo with Kirmond and Wildy to come back are a better combination for the team I support.

| 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.

He said internationals. That means GB, England, Australia, New Zealand, France. Anything other can not be described as International.
I think you have 4 or 5 don't you? not including a non existing international in Hodgson.

| Without bickering too much how many Huddersfield players have had a serious international career? Not including one or two games, or the old England team which was made up of GB rejects. Proper regular games on the international stage.
Webb injuries ruled him out of last 2 internation comps.
Senior - Retire but could easily walk into ENG side.
Hall - ENG regular for the next few years imo.
Burrow - ENG international
McGuire - ENG international
Kylie - Captain of Samoa
Buderus - Former Aussie Captain!!!!!!
JP - Current ENG captain !!!
Ali - Kiwi and Somoa honours.
Sinfield - Golden boot short list last year.
Eastwood - Kiwi WC winnner.

When you have that mob playing with confidence then Wow. Throw in JJB, Diskin, Delaney, Burgess, Bailey and Kirke then you have the foundations for world beaters.

See what i mean by the petty bickering! Why cannot we discuss the game instead of the 'my dad is bigger than yours' style chit chat.
Is that all you've got to go on? Do you want me to aim some similar questions to you about the Giants archivements?
Dont embarras yourself.
