I have heard rumors that Luke BURGESS could be leaving the club, and is keen to go to Bradford. I dont know how true this is. I for one would be sad to see him go, hope its not true, I think he has played well in the last few games. Dont know when he is out of contract with us, thought it was 2011?

Swap for Nick Scruton? Yes please.



Now that Leeds have brought Lee Smith back in I'd like to see them continue that trend.



Luke Burgess is contracted to the end of 2011 at present.

Yes i would love to see scruton back, but a few years ago i was looking forward to having both as our starting props. I would not like the trend to continue to Calderwood though!

TROLL ALERT

I have only just joined and have no idea what troll alert means, guessing it ain't good thought! Some people at the game on Thursday were going on about it and I wondered if anyone else had heard anything?

Perhaps not now no, it's a younger man's game in the backs (unless your a freak like Senior) but at the time he left, Leeds lost a very good winger nontheless.

True I suppose he was. Very good going forward, but he always worried me when they kicked to him or attacked him.

Which Leeds winger doesn't worry you in those situations? Leeds haven't had one of those since Alan Smith's days and that's a while ago now. It also relies pretty heavily on the defensive pattern been stuck to with the inside men doing what's expected of them also.



Calderwood saved many tries in cover defense including making tackles on the opposite wing (an area Donald has succeeded in also) and his defense single handedly, I would suggest, kept Wigan alive the Final Eliminator game in 2008.

he did indeed keep them in the game tvoc. but to quote you " don't pick games in isolation to suit yourself".

what else did he do all season?

It was an example of his willingness to defend not only down his channel but right across the backline and on the night he did it better than any winger I think I've seen at Headingley over the SL Era. I didn't seek to compare it to any other game involving any other player, indeed I even complimented Donald as a covering defender also.



As for what else did he do that season? I'm not sure but it was enough for Tony Smith to (perhaps swallow some pride) and take him to the World Cup.

He did have a good game then, but I think it was poor choice to be in the England squad.
