Hilarious.

I do try, though I hope my obvious sarcasm came through. I shall resist telling my Oscar Pistorius jokes.

V funny well done

Even funnier.

So is that 36 consecutive goals for kev in a rhinos shirt?

Griffin was mentioned as possibly off to Salford on radio leeds on way home last night., Must be well out of favour if Moore gets brought back from dual reg.

After reflecting on last night's game I can see why many have not renewed their season tickets - it was truly dire.

I thought Watkins looked very good at full back when he moved there last night. He set up a couple of tries and looked very dangerous. IF Vickery is fit next week then the back line wouldnt look too bad. Keinhorst worries me though. The amount of missed tackles and errors he comes up with is not acceptable.

Watkins
Vickery
Ablett
Moon
Hall

Still dangerous IMO. Ablett again looked good at centre last night. Lets face it. It's like its his destiny to play there

Can't see Melbourne being too worried with that five tbh

Agree with Sal it was a dire game. I just left feeling frustrated more than anything. Frustrated at Leeds poor showing - overplaying, not running hard enough, trying to miracle tries out of nowhere. Frustrated at how poor Salford were - I think they're probably the worst SL side I've seen at Headingley for a long time. And frustrated at a very poor referee - who, whilst the 2 sides poor, didn't give the game any chance of any flow or momentum and was whistle happy penalising things that didn't need penalising.

In games that count for record purposes, yes.

I'd go with that line up too if Hardaker is out. With the 2 second rows, 1 loose foward and 1 back row sub spot easily filled by the selections of JJB, Delaney, Ward and Clarkson we can 'afford' to relocate Ablett to the backs again. Whoever ends up playing Right Wing on Friday won't really be seeing much ball in attack I would predict so it's a case of who McDermott is more defensively confident with.

The performance of Watkins (if playing at fullback) is going to be a massive factor. He's played there before a few times but never against such quality opposition in such a big game. I have no real worries about him in attack, but we'll have to wait and see how he copes in defence with the Aussies kicking game, postionally and also the high ball.

Not for the world record however as Liam Finns included internationals as he ended on 41 with a missed kicked for Ireland and IICR Sinfield missed two kicks for England in the international series vs France and Wales

Last missed kicks were the conversions of the 3rd and 4th tries in the 1st match against France in the August Internationals. Since then he's gone

4/4 - France (Group match)
8/8 - France (Final match)
6/6 - Hull
2/2 - Cas
7/7 - Salford

So his record in all competitions is currently at 27.

His record in SL games is currently at 36. (This total won't include any kicks made during the WCC this Friday and will sontinue away to Saints the following week)

Since the start of last years playoffs Sinfield has landed 62 from 66 kicks in all competitons, a 94% success rate.

He also missed a few in McGuire's testimonial if that matters.

No it doesn't.
He can miss them all in friendly games as far as I'm concerned.
Has there ever been a more reliable kicker from the touchline or near as damn it?
He is outstanding from out wide on either flank, the best I've ever seen.

LOL Never thought of that!
Hopefully it was a mis diagnosis.

I am going to reconcile Friday as being one of the 3 free games with a season ticket. Would kick myself had I paid to watch that.

It was awful.

No enterainment, no contest etc.

Apart from McShanes 100% effort, can't really see any other strong positives.

The professional job we did on Hull a couple of weeks ago has been forgotten and the home season form (under Macs tenure) over the last couple of years continues.

Lets hope we can replicate last years WCC effort on Friday.

For me the most dissapointing aspect of our performance on Friday, and many others, is that despite having one very good exciting backline, we seem to have coached out of them a running game.

All the play at nearly every opportunity is the flat pass to a forward, and run it in. Gone have the days where we passed along the backs deep in our territory and raced for 90 metre tries.

Even Hardaker now appears to be playing a game different to his natural instinct.

Playing at fullback Watkins may see and get his hands on the ball more.

If they can get him going down the left edge like Webb did, and combine with Moon and Hall it has very good potential in attack.

Why just the left edge? If he injects himself anywhere into the line he has the capability to do something.

Sorry didn't mean that he should attack just that area, but it is one that really stands out in particular.
