At least they'll be no deduction for a first game sin-binning this year.

I don’t have any suspicions at all to be honest, he's a 32 year old prop who played all the playoff games and internationals at the back end of last season and he's moaned about the amount of games played to boot, given we have a bigger squad this year and the game is against probably the weakest team on paper I'm not suspicious of anything.

If he is injured then let him recover in peace, I'm sure the team the coach picks will do their best without him.

No peacock hat-trick this time then sadly

"one hand washes the other"

To which you reply... "I fear nothing!"

Why cant he rifle bins like any other stalker? Jeez

From the official site www.therhinos.co.uk/news/9630.php Quote HOW IS YOUR TEAM SHAPING UP THIS WEEK? We are delighted to have Greg Eastwood available after he got the all clear from the specialist.

I'm not happy with gotcha today, I can't stop singing suspicious minds in my head since he posted that.

Which version though?
The original by the King or the 80's FYC version?

Bluey has stated that "rotation" of the forwards is the current plan. It has to start somewhere. HTH

Does this mean that Loz's boyband won't be dsinging that song?

No, it can't be locked, just walk away

Sky Sports has said he is out with an injury but thats all it has said.

Edit; the website says he is rested, SSN news ticker thing says it is an injury.

Someone asked for it to be locked?

Deary me today. Some precious poster isn't happy with other individuals having the right to post their opinions.

Aye. Also sets down a marker. Should be no hissy fits from anyone as the season progresses if Peacock can be left out and why not do it at the start, on the heavy pitch, against last years worst team.

Clever coaching from Bluey.

Just wish he'd have let us all know.........

He told me but I was pledged to secrecy.

"Rotation" of the forwards - same tactics as Tony Smith used in 2004 - what a rubbish season that turned out to be!

A big gold envelope containing vouchers for everything that is out of stock due to the incompetence of the suppliers . A sticker . .. ermmm.. shiite really . We got a badge and a scarf and a book last time .

Recognition that Peacock isn't the essential element in the Leeds forward pack that he once was?

or that he is and to keep him from burn out if we are gonna top the last few years?

How many times in the past has Peacock missed whole games other than through injury? He's started games on the bench with the intention of reducing his playing time before, but I can't recall him being left out of too many, particularly this early in the season?

Quite the opposite. Keeping the essential element fresh for the tougher games and the business end of the season.

I'd say it's taking advantage of the depth within the squad to give JP a proper off-season thus allowing him to have a better impact during the season.
FWIW Bluey stated pre-season his plans are to rotate alot more this year injuries permitting.

Yes I have come to that view myself. I did think he had just an emotional ..motivation..style and will confess to being confused at times over the last 2 seasons but slowly it has dawned that there is much more to this guy than meets the eye.
