Which other current Leeds centre would have burst through the McGilvary tackle, made the break, kept his hands free in the covering tackle and sent Burrow away for Leeds' solitary try on Friday night?



Without Senior's contribution there we could have been re-writing the Leeds SL record books.

Swings and roundabouts tvoc.



The "other current Leeds centre" may well have created an entirely different try. Who's to say?



Look, if he was putting in Giggs-like performances week in, week out, then his age would be relative and it wouldn't matter. Bottom line is, he isn't, and he's past it.

Watkins is the future. Put him at Left, and let him stay and develop there.



Smith at Right (unfortunately) and make Senior fill any gaps created by injury instead of Watkins having to do it.

When was the last time we were beat by such a score at home tvoc?

Watkins is the current right wing, Smith is out injured.

Friday was the equal 4th heaviest (in terms of ponts difference) home defeat of the SL Era:



1 - 19th May 2000, Coach Lance, -42 points, Leeds 2 - 44 Bradford

2 - 4th August 1996, Coach Bell, -38 points, Leeds 18 - 56 Bradford

3 - 3rd August 1997, Coach Bell, -34 points, Leeds 14 - 48 North Queensland Cowboys

=4 - 19th August 2005, Coach Smith, -32 points, Leeds 10 - 42 Bradford

=4 - 15th April 2011, Coach McDermott, -32 points, Leeds 6 - 38 Huddersfield



The 38 points conceded was the equal 12th highest shared with three other results (one of which bizarrely was still a win.)

Yes, I know that thanks.





What I'm suggesting is that it would be more benefit for Watkins to be learning his future role properly now, and developing there. Instead of deputising for injured players.



Form merits that it should be Senior acting as the dogs-body getting thrown in as and where needed, and that Watkins has done enough to merit been able to play in his preferred position.

If you can (kind off) pardon the 2005 result (match before cc final) its our worst result in 11 years.



Was the win Huddersfield 2001ish?

Was that the "UTU" game?

Its a real shame to see him like this. It would have been so much better had he gone last year. I really don't know why GH offered him another year. He was past it last season. He offers nothing in defence and very little in attack (I know he set Burrow up).



Thanks for the memories Keith but time to go old lad!!

I see Keith's family were on the disciplinary review panel this week: www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2557 Shirt number 3 - enough already - it's not happening.
