kruise Leeming : Fri Sep 09, 2022 9:15 pm  

Just looking to see if any Rhinos fans agree with me. I watch Leeming regular, and fail to see what he really offers. Very rarely runs from dummy half. His tackling is average, he hides a lot in defence. Dwyer is ten times the player, as are the hookers in all of the top three clubs in the championship. In my view he is being carried. Scores the odd back up try, and all of a sudden he is a world beater. Does anyone agree with me that he is average at best?

I disagree that Dwyer is ten times the player.
And tbh I don't know who the hookers are for Leigh, Fev and Halifax....

Can you qualify the "Dwyer is ten times the player" comment?

More to being a good nine than running loads from dummy half.I fail to see where you think is 10 times the player?

The key word from tonight is "control'. That starts from dummy half and every subsequent play onwards. Dwyer does not give us that. He infact has stifled alot of attacking plays with his running game. He also isn't great in defence.

Granted Leeming is deficient in a few areas, namely defence but he is no headless chicken. The best we have IMO is Jarrod O Connor. He was superb tonight.

I rate Leeming, but I'm starting to rate O'Connor more. Maybe Leeming will take on more of the Dwyer impact off the bench role?

Welcome to the forum Brad!

Dwyer far too much the headless chicken type, I'm yet to be convinced with Leeming either. O'Conner looking the best at the moment
