You couldn't be more wrong |

| Quote ="G1"Who has displaced him?
FWIW, I do think he's 1st 17. For me, the starting 2nd row is JJB and Ablett and, on form, JJB's place is more under threat from Eastwood than Abletts as JJB has not reached the heights he did under Smith since Mclennan took charge.
Kirke is also way behind Ablett in the pecking order, IMO.'"
From those at the club last year I would pick JJB and Kirke with Ali off the bench as my three second rowers, I havnt seen eastwood play enough to know if he is best at front or second row so he may be in the mix aswell,
would be happy to change my opinion based on performance throughout the season though |

Fair enough and its' all about opinions but mine is that on last seasons' form he was better than JJB. On any seasons form he was considerably better than Kirke. |

Were you one of the ones who
a) Didnt rate JJB.
b) Slagged the team, club, coach, mascot off in April of last year |

There is no way Kirke is ahead of Ablett nor is JJB - both need to up their game if they are to feature on a regular basis.
I see Kirke more as a prop and as part of the rotational policy
Ablett would be in any starting 17 I picked |

I would have Kirke down as a prop in any case. Only 2nd row in an emergency. |

I don't rate Ablett plus he thinks he is better than what he is.
4 years is a bit much he is an average work horse at best like JJB.

Unfortunately playing for Leeds he can't afford the drugs - although he could melt down his three gold rings  |
