If he's managed to get two years out of Leeds on the same salary he's on now, then good on him.

Why would he be on the same salary as he's on now?

Good signing BTW. That's two more years service from a player who routinely gets away with incorrect PTB's without ever being penalised for it, even during those rare periods when referees temporarily crack down on the illegal practice.

JP must be a good player if this is the biggest criticism Keith can come up with despite his particularly deep seated psychological issues with regard to both Leeds and GB/England players

I know it will give him a boost because all his postings are a clear cry for the attention that he's never gotten from people in his real life away from the keyboard, where people barely notice his existence day upon day year upon year. He's angry and frustrated at the world never noticing him and want's others to feel that same anger that consumes him by trying to provoke folk on here with inane views. But he fails as people don't feel anger towards him just lots and lots........and lots of pity. Don't worry Keith, we've noticed you buddy even if the rest of the world won't, and we're here for ya!

Ah, would that be the "Whirling Dervish" ploy? A much under estimated weapon in a rampaging forwards armoury, and seen far too rarely these days.

I shall be especially looking out for it in tonight's Wigan/Warrington match, and will be a tad disappointed, if there's not a couple of tries as the result of those big lumpy lads' silky offloading skills....

It's an effective method at SL level as Peacock has proven on countless occasions. It doesn't work at international level against Australia and it definitely wouldn't work in the NRL unless used as an occasional surprise tactic.

There'll be no NRL clubs queueing up to sign Peacock at his age and level of crockedness, and there'll be no NRL clubs overly impressed with his 180 degree pirouetting technique at the point of impact either. He'd just get smashed into oblivion whilst his offloads would become loose ball contests for possession.

I agree with your earlier post - a 2 year contract is a questionable deal at his age. Perhaps this thread ought to be renamed Leeds Approaching Millstones? Peacock being the obvious one now.

You could always resurrect an old thread on the Wigan forum if you're feeling lonely?

Did it fail to procure the requisite bites?

Lift yer game

I don't think Peacock is the sort of player who would continue playing where he would be a liability. He may well call it a year short of he can no longer produce the goods.

Well JP used the 'pirouett' ploy to good effect against the top NRL club in the WCC didn't he? He may no longer be able to 'chasse' past the opposition as he once did but his technique made it difficult for the Manly forwards to get hold of his Tutu I seem to remember

It's time to quit when your only desperate retort is the selective referencing of a pre-season warm-up game as indisputable evidence of greatness, notwitstanding the convenient absence of any game-breaking pirouetting stats to back up your assertion. Nothing new there.

OTOH, if you could point me in the direction of Peacock's pirouetting technique causing problems at international level particularly against Australia, I'd be very grateful.

You can't?

Thought not.

I can see JP stepping up to be assistant coach if Lowes take a head coach job as Mac has alluded to.Maybe thats part of his two year deal
