He went straight off after tweaking his hamstring so the stats are relevant, hence another pathetic showing from Leeds very own enforcer.................

2 year contract,really has had the desired impact hasn't it!!

I'd have thought he got injured and was substitutied. Do you have another reasonable explanation?



Are those the overall match stats that show Leeds made 293 more metres than Warrington?

IMO pertinent ( after all the criticism on here) that JJB, Sinfield & Ablett only conceded 1 penalty between them, whereas everyone's favourite - JP - conceded 2.
But he doesn't get called a penalty machine despite giving away a third of all our penalties. On the other hand he's probably involved in a third of our tackles.

some people have agenda's though

And don't we all know it!!

He was struggling with it in out attacking sets before he finally went off but don't let that fact get in the way.

The overall stats don't reflect how we struggled early on in the 1st half to make major metres when kylie was fully fit and involved.

Sorry, just typed the wrong number... it should read 14 (I just typed 24 but was thinking 14, if you know what I mean) is too many and our error rate seems to be heading gently upward, when it should be going the other way.

I agree about Kylie as well BTW.

how on earth did Leuluai get a 2 year deal

Because statistics are for mathematicians and assessing the qualities of a rugby player is best left to the experts.

Kylie put a massive shot on Morley early on.

indeed he did. but did morley go into hiding? did morley make less runs then he would have? infact did the tackle itself even effect morley, he got a fairly quick play the ball off it.

his stats are shocking, whether you're a fan or an expect.

Was that before or after Leuluai knocked on his second carry that gave Warrington the possession for their opening try?

Monaghan seemed to have a lot of room when sending Westwood clear for the supporting Mathers to score. The markers and the A defender (Leuluai) stood off there.

That said his first stint was shorter (at 22 minutes) than I initially thought so his stats aren't quite as poor as they first appeared to me.

Did he not return?

Played the full eighty according to [url=http://www.skysports.com/rugbyleague/match_facts/0,19935,11070_3160856,00.htmlthis[/url.

Ratu's stats are quite tidy.

Cheap??

In the minutes they all had on the pitch, which Prop made the biggest impact and contribution to the game?

Because thankfully the powers that be at Headingley are brighter than you.

Diskins stats look pretty decent too. Only 1 missed tackle which is contrary to somes opinion on here that he was poor defensively

He was MOM in the LE

That one penalty against JJB was the ridiculous obstruction decision as well wasn't it?

However, I think just like other weeks JJB is not getting the total missed tackles against his name that he should. He is missing plenty.

Are these the same experts who recently said Hall and Watkins should be the Leeds wingers on current form?

Donald has scored seven in his last six appearances since then including a couple of match winners.

Great to see scotty turn his form around and i don't mind admitting i was one of the posters saying it was time to drop him because of his form and how well watkins did.
There's no denying his confidence and form was low before he scored against quinns so it wouldn't of been outragous to see him dropped.

Donald's contribution V Warrington was crucial on several occassions. His first try was a classic piece of finishing, fielding the Briers option restart, the kick return that led to the McGuire try(?), his composure in gathering the two balls in the last minute.

Perhaps McClennan knows what he's doing afterall.

To be honest, not convinced it has. Its amazing what some tries can do.

Donald will always finish well. Give him space and he will run it well. What has not changed, and we saw it again on Saturday, put an high kick up to him and he is simply horrendous.

What we are now getting is the right balance though. He is making up for his inability under high kicks, with the tries. All we were seeing before were the mistakes.

Like i said above it's great to see him back on form but at the time i posted about him being dropped i stand by that view.
Maybe he was informed he was on "borrowed time" as an automatic choice and it sparked him into life!!
Either way he's back and long may it continue!!
