Smith - Solid and classy, this lad is really developing. Brave effort. Faultless goal-kicking. Donald - Came to life in the second half, acted as SO in attack in last 15m to get some work. Ablett - Did the job. Watkins - Unlucky knock. Hall - Another lad who seems to get better with more game time. Allen - Worked his balls off. McGuire - Not the best. Struggled to lay a platform and his general kicking game was poor. Leulaui - Hard as. His kinda game. Diskin - Lively and pro-active. Won the hooking battle. Peacock - Better than last week, awsome leg drives. Kirke - My pick of the pack, he's starting to do serious damage to teams. Ali - Always a threat, shame to see him not able to return. JJB - Wears his heart on his sleeve, dug in.
Buderus - First run out in 6 months, nicely weighted pass for the game-breaker. Burgess - Ran strong, stepped into the Scruton role well. Gibson - Good to see him out there. Lovely conversion. Bailey - Wound Wakie up, won a penalty also as well as leading with the elbow. First run out in months also.
Agree with most of that but the hooking battle was won hands down by Drew, Diskin is a quality player and now he'sgot Buderus to learn off I can't wait to see the finished article in a couple off years time.

I meant, internally, over Buderus. My bad. My ambiguity.

Some Leeds fans are truly vile and pathetic, but let's rise above the cretins like Logun and LS16_Rhino - they are trolls and poor ones at that, they are clearly thick as two short planks. I know tons of decent Leeds fans who are fine and were very complimentary. I suspect at least one of the trolls mentioned is ranting on this thread because his stupidity has seen him banned of the Trinity site so he can't troll there.
It was a decent game which we never really looked like winning, but all told we gave a good Leeds team a hard game. They were missing a few and we were missing a few more end of. Why these individual are so insecure only someone qualified could explain.

Fair play, thought you might have meant that but wasn't too sure . No matter what though Diskin has now got a real master of his trade to work with now so I fully expect him to push on and become Englands no.1 hooker.

And with McShane waiting in the wings, we have quite a bit of talent in that position. We've had about 3 hookers in 18 years, so it makes a nice change.

So, you don't drive a lorry around Ipswich then.
