yeah, like you use cutlery in Pieland!

It takes much more than 9 months rehab and a 3rd of a season to get over a full knee reconstruction. Anyone with sense can see that. JP came to the game later than most so still has a lot less miles on the clock than Moz and co.

I think you hope he's done. But really you are not been neutral. You use it as another dig at Leeds.

Fair enough, but even having such an optimistic outlook and believing he'll get back to his best, why was he selected for the mid season test and named captain for the Four Nations in the meantime?

Check any of my previous posts and tell me if I am anywhere near as Anti Leeds as you and Billy Boy are anti Wigan. I wished I'd enough time on my hands to put as much on the Wigan board as BillyRhino!

Is Peacock anywhere near the player he was 3 years ago?
Will he ever be the player he was 3 years ago?

He's a Good SL forward, not a great one like ue used to be.
Playing in the current Leeds team under the current coaching system isn't helping but he will never be the player he was.

You lot only have to put up with him when the internationals are around! The Rhinos fans on the other hand have to put up with his direness every week. If he can improve drastically from here till the four nations then yes he deserves a chance. Needs to cut out the errors and high tackles though. Having a mixed game isn’t good enough in a top game. Leeds would have been absolutely mulled if Peacock made the same mistakes against a top team. Thankfully Leeds were only playing Hull.

If we are to beat the Aussies we need a big mobile pack, not the big plodders like the attitude GB had in the 70's.

I would play Ben Westwood at prop with Morley, Griffin, Crabtree, Mason, Mossop, Graham, Burgess in there too.

I'd drop Crabtree from that, done nothing in fact i'd say regressed this season.

He's not been as good as previous seasons but always raises his game at International level.

I would like to see at least one of Mason, Griffin or Mossop given a chance against the Aussies though.

i like morley as an impact prop off the bench, might be getting on a bit but he puts himself about well and brings good energy, hope he plays in the 4N

Graham and Lynch to start with Morley and Crabtree/Mossop on the bench for me.

In a game where you pies choose to slag off Peacock!

Just for the record he made 179 meters and 34 tackles.

And that's him not at his best.

Genuine question - how many carries were the 179 metres off?

Given the amount of errors and conditions, he must have got through a shed load of work like the other forwards.

Nicked from the legend that is tvoc from the Leeds board
Player(Mins): Metres - Carries (MT/Carry) - Tackles - Misses (Efficiency %) - Errors - Penalties

Peacock(54): 179 - 21 (8.52) - 34 - 1 (97%) - 2 – 4

Errors 2 pens 4 actually but don't let the truth get in the way of a good witch hunt.

4 penalties = 120 metres-ish
2 errors = 80 metres-ish

Peacock is a liability.
