Yeh and Peacock did his usual top job.

Taking the ball back into the ruck time after time?

I think the mileage is beginning to show and its time for Peacock to get a well deserved rest..............shame we don't have the points in the bag to allow it!

I'm a tad concerned that this year will be a repeat of 2006 for Peacock - carrying the pack for most of the year and so running out of steam towards the back end.

Buderus was our best last night IMO. Now he is regaining full fitness he is starting to show the form we know he is capable of.
Regarding Kylie. He is suffering more than most from only having a 3/4 week pre season due to the world cup. A player who even when fully fit is not capable of long stints like Peacock,he is really suffering this year. Last night he did 11 mins in the 1st half and 14 in the 2nd. Thats putting added pressure on the rest of the pack who also look jaded. I think this will improve as the season goes on.
Keep the faith

if that really is the case, why not 'rest'(drop) him for a few weeks.

Kylie looks to have lost some serious bulk and he seems the victim of a change in training methods aimed an making Leeds a lighweight quick unit, which makes the 20 mins stint even more puzzling.

Its very similar to that of Tony Smith in 2006 when he copied the West Tigers who had just one the NRL comp.

I really don't understand this, The St Helens players look a lot bigger physically than most of the Rhinos players and come out on top when it comes to go forward, Maybe the Lightweight is to enable us to be fresh and peak at the back end of the season...

Bradford winning is rarely a positive but last night it would have been had Leeds remembered to show up.

St Helens unveiling their new 5th tackle option was the major positive from last night. A contender for play of the season so soon after Ricki Sheriffe looked to have the award all sown up.
