Kirkes first carry was fantastic. Then it was Kirke away, never to be seen again.

He was a dummy runner for one try, and was involved in numerous tackles, amazing how some people do t actually watch the game they are watching. It was a tipickle Kirke performance solid but nothing spectacular.

Nice.

Thought Kirke had a decent game. Justified his selection imo.

Thought he did too, defensively. I was responding to the post about his very good first carry, and that it didn't happen again.

That's why they call them the entertainers

Agreed. We were slagging him off in pub before but thought that was his best game for a long time today, on both attack and defence.

He might not have done a load more in attack after the initial first run but we know that's going to happen. Defensively he looked as solid as anyone out there for Leeds.



As much as someone like Singleton offers more in carrying the ball, I feel more confident with Kirke in defence.

Just think how happy and excited you would be with 13 Kirkes in the team. Lovely stuff

Does Singleton offer that much more, ball in hand?



IMO he doesn't make that many more yards in a carry, and he doesn't tend to generate a much quicker PTB.



You might get more quantity, but not more quality.

Singleton has struggled for consistency this year, but when he's been good he's been very good. It hasn't helped that the amount of minutes he plays seems to fluctuate with each game. He was excellent over easter when given more minutes on the field. He can be slow at marker occasionally, but IMO if it came down to a straight choice between Singleton, and Kirke I'd choose Singleton every time.
