Im looking for Impact off the bench. Now that he's set himself a benchmark by making 135 metres there's no reason he can't do it by coming off the bench if he is given the same amount of game time.

Would you want to tell The Hulk he's not starting? Your a braver man than me. And he has Jesus Christ in his corner. I wouldn't fancy messing with Him either. (Notice the respectful 'big' H )

He's not an off the bench type of prop, you need him in there during the early exchanges when the big hits and big runs are flying in.

I agree. Ablett is a very good backrow forward and should be in ahead of Kirke every time. I hink he will be the natural successor for the 13 jersey.

dont agree with that at all.

Even under Smith Leuluai started in 12 of his 31 appearances most notably at the beginning and the end of the season.

McClennan has never started Leuluai off the bench.

Leuluai's last 37 appearances for Leeds have been in the starting 13 at open side prop.
