kirke seems to have upped his game this week. 5 drives and 5 tackles this week. Kylie meters are lower than i expected. Most of the pack put a fair shift in regarding tackiling. Good effort JJB and JP
Overall good stats from Leeds. We competed well except with our missed tackles and penalties and a lack of tackle busts.
Very good effort from JP and JJB as usual plus Delaney - Pish Poor go forward from our props except JP. Kirke & Lauitiiti just not good enough.
Interesting to note Cross still has the best metres per carry figure of our current 4 props + Burgess and the only one to average over 7m per carry! He also has a better average tackle per game than Kylie, Kirke or Burgess and of our 4 current first choice props only Kirke has given away fewer penalties per game!
Tuson and Prescott only managed 8 carries between them. Leeds aren't the only team with workload issues in the pack. Not that Kirke deserved his new deal, mind.
Again: our defence cannot carry Rob Burrow as an interchange forward against a decent team. (I know he's not defending the usual hooker role, but 1) Who is? 2) It confuses the team's shape). He either has to play at scrum-half or not at all.

Prescott went off injured after not long on, I think. He usually puts up pretty good numbers.
