Also true. However, if its the game I'm thinking of, then it was basically or bust (ironic?) with regards to advancing in the playoffs, a gamble? yes? did it work? maybe not, but that's what you get with a gamble. If a player puts his hands up to play, the coach will more often than not go with the players assessment. Again history shows us that we have come out on the wrong side of the ledger on a occasion (Senior CC final) Watkins (Playoffs at Wigan) Adamson (CC final) but have come out on the right side too Sinfield (playoffs 2012) etc.



The player will always put their hand up to play, its up to the med staff and especially the coach to stand strong and balance the situation out, obviously this early in the season its a no-brainer / easy decision, later on in the season / CC game?? different kettle of fish, rightly or wrongly.

You're wasting your time using common sense like that on here.

does he coach not have a duty of care? had JJB received a career ending injury i'm sure the opinion would have been different

I know, I like to dip in and out every now again though. Y'know, before reverting to talking about cake, milkchurns and pooping on coffee tables, the REAL Southstander discussions.....

Golding

Briscoe Watkins Moon Hall

Sinfield McGuire

Cuthbertson Aiton Peacock

Ablett Ward

JJB



Delaney Singleton Leuluai Burrow.

It's certainly looking like there's clearly a problem with Zak

You're wasting your time talking common sense on here - some posters simply cannot see the wood for the trees, they sometimes even argue about games they never even attended!!

Ahh, the coffee table discussion! Classy

Wow, cringeworthy.....3 times now you've used and tried dining out on that debate that didn't originally involve you. I look forward to seeing you use it again when you next struggle for an intelligent or creative retort......so every week basically.

What I find hard to understand is IF there has been something untoward with Zak that could lead to serious trouble.

Why was he even named in the 19 man squad in the first place?

Surely if it is that bad he would not have been named?

Perhaps he was named because there was no certainty, but enough doubt to draft Golding into the squad.



It does now seem we might have seen the last of Zak in a Leeds shirt. A crying shame if so as the lad looked altogether the most talented FB for some time IMO.

However if he is found guilty of some new misdemeanour he can't claim he wasn't given a fair crack of the whip.



Golding is highly rated by many but i think i will miss Zak's defensive capabilities.

I would have dropped zac anyway, his form as been poor, and Golding is a talent deserve his chance. As for last time un a Leeds shirt, it was burrow last week so we will see.
