We haven't had a leader on the pitch for too long. Last one was Muzza. Someone to organise and kick a55 when needed.

I think Fairbank is a great leader and we do miss him when he doesn’t play.

Yeah very true. Kear was gushing with praise about Bobbie Fairbank as he called him. He is a machine, same mould as Dane Manning strength wise too.

But I watched Moore closer last night and whilst not mega vocal it seems he organised us so well. Would have sounded better at 32-0 but...

Fairbank, like Karl Harrison, you don`t know just what he does until he is not playing.
It was noticeable last night that when he was off there were a few half breaks down the middle by Bulls.

He is a coaches dream. As one coach said, every team needs a Fairbank. Bring on the next generation up from Elland.

If fairbank gets to play at Wembley like is uncle did in 88 that’d be emotional for him , hope it happens.
