Kylie played some longer stints tonight. Seems to be improving recent weeks.

Kylie is getting back to where he was.

Maybe he summises the Leeds team well, not doing much early doors and gearing up towards a big push at the right end of the season.

He went off after 25mins in his 1st stint. But his workload was nicely reduced with our early blitz. But is looking good to go.

Seems like Sinfield is going to Warrington at the end of the current campain. No sign of an extension to his remaining contract?

Any links or quotes?? Sinfield is going nowhere

I certainly can't recall Sinfield ever having as good of season as he is now, he's been my MOM most weeks this year.

Sinfield was awesome.

Great conversion game.

I dont know if I've seen a better performance with the goal kicks.

Cynical people would say that there was no pressure with the kick, but what proffesionalism, to kick goals from that range when it looked like we were pulling away.

Vital he kicked them, considering Hulls gutsy comeback.

Thought his try was taken very well, kept on the ark, didn't do anything risky i.e Jodies changing of direction which lead to him falling over!!

King Kev! All hail the King!

Re: Worrall.
Does also remind me of a very early JJB. Great engine and fully committed. But isn't he about 25 now already?
IMO he's actually a good back up player, because of his durability. He basically tackles all day and takes alot of ineffective drives throughout the game, the dirty work if you will, allowing our much better players like Kylie, JJB and Ali to take breathers throughout the game. He would certainley not be in our first choice 17, but as a squad player, not bad.

As an aside, thought Ablett was good on saturday, hopefully he can keep that up for the rest of the season.

Personally I think he needs to move on to realise his potential.

He came up through the junior ranks as a ball playing loose forward, but he's never had the opportunity to give that role a crack at first team level due to Sinfield's durability.

He's a decent filler at centre or in tbe second row, but neither of them allow him to make the most of his abilities.

If he has aspirations to step up to representative level, then he may need to showcase his talents elsewhere.

Yer I'd agree with that, i'm happy with him as a bench second rower, grafts well and offers abit of threat when running wide. He won't ever make representative unless it's at 13, but is he really in the Sinfield/ O'Loughlin/Westerman class? To be honest I don't think so.

Up until his injury in 2005 he was easily the MOS.

Sounds like a 2nd row equivalent of Bailey. Does the basics well, but doesn't blow your socks off in attack. He'll be a cheap option and does a job when needed. I'd keep him on. We don't have a big enough squad to lose players
