I think it was Austin’s run that made it. He went the wrong way in typical Dwyer fashion and got lucky.

He has got lucky a lot of times then

I don’t think we should keep Dwyer, however i actually think Dwyer is a better player than Leeming!
O’Connor is coming on nicely , but I do think a Danny Levi type would escalate us in big games………
We won’t get away with some of the poor skills and shocking decisions from 9 against Saints or Wigan……

If we can get on the front foot Leeming is a vastly superior player to Dwyer. The game at Wire where we put 40 on them was a brilliant all-round display of attacking rugby from Leeming. He's not as good when things are a struggle, and its when a game descends into a real wrestle Dwyer has some plus points.

The problem with Dwyer is so often we descend into the wrestle because of the rubbish he chucks out from dummy half. Then he becomes virtually the sole threat. Its a vicious cycle where Dwyer tends to look at his best - scoring winning tries etc - when the team is at its worst.

Would that be Wigan who we stuffed recently?

I agree with this, but I must say that Leeming was absolutely shocking last night. Let's hope he's shaken off his ring rust. What a great decision from Smith to take Leeming off with three or four minutes left and throw Dywer back into the fray. Won us the game.

Leeming was terrible last night, defensively, offensively and discipline, but its his first game for ages and he was in great form before his injury so cant knock him too much, but my god, he was poor.

Dwyers having a great swansong to his Leeds career, its not pretty, but he's doing his part in our run to the playoffs, ideal situation for us, rightfully letting him go, but getting contributions from him in the meantime.

Leeming was bound to be incredibly rusty, he needed a good stint to get him sharp for the playoffs... he was on fire before he got injured. He is easily the best 9 at the club.
