I think super keys time has come. Some of his play selections last night were awful, especially when on the last play we were set for the kick and He ran it from dummy half. They then scored.

Are we more dynamic with Moore and roby? Is keiron slowing the team down

Maybe it's just me, the guy is still awesome but we need more than little drop off passes from our hooker. Let's hope it's just a blip as he is my ultimate legend but we cannot afford sentiment to get in the way.

I hope he proves me wrong.

No, he's still vital to the side. When he's not on the team loses it's organisation and shape. Running from dummy half isn't something he needs to do too often, he should just distribute and defend. He was certainly a lot better than Monaghan was last night.

Not difficult

I think its swings and roundabouts.



KC brings experience, aura and that sheer physical presence. However his long passing game isnt as good as it was prior to his arm injury. He also doesnt have the engine he once did and so appears to tire more easily. His mobility is also reduced, but he is still a hard man to stop. He would walk into most teams in the world.



Moore brings a bigger engine, slicker pass options, along with a kick option. However he lacks experieince and imo has a tendancy to get over cocky and suffer brain explosions.

I thought King had a decent game last night but when Roby came on he was brilliant.

Keiron put in a cracking hit at one point, can't remember who on, but they went down like a bag of the proverbial. He still does it for me - and it is so obvious the huge regard the team has for him; hope this last season ends on the right end of the score at OT for him; here's hoping!

I kind of think Keiron may value a Challenge Cup win myself. When I saw him being interviewed last season, he confessed to holding a special affection for that comp.

Of course he does. His brother has a Lance Todd. He doesn't.

You cynic!

The lift he gives the team when he comes back on for his 2nd stint shows he is still a valuable part of the set up. The only problem I have noticed is that towards the end of his 2nd spell he looks a bit tired and taking a rest when at marker. I can live with that though from such an iconic player, let some of the youngsters cover for him. He has stated this will be his last season and he is a proud man, he won't let anyone down.

I agree, KC is not a patch on the player he was and IMO is finished but he is still very important as we struggle when he leaves the pitch. We seem to lose our way when he he leaves the field. He still great in defence though.

KC is only playing on because his promised coaching position is

not vacant yet. One season too long with two hookers having to

be held back or redeployed.



A world class player and legend but somone who is now clearly bigger

than the club and the town.



KC is so powerful that even posts on this board that dare to question him

get locked (see K Purtill thread).



He is starting to make Scully look selfless.

That could be classed as treason.

You Might as Well be Hung for a Sheep as a Lamb

I hope your tongue was firmly in your cheek when you posted that.

It's his defense that we miss when he goes off, some of those huge hits come in handy against a huge pack like the one on Friday. It was a noticeable difference in intensity when Cunningham, Graham, Soliola and Puletua returned to the pitch.



His passing has been wayward since his elbow was injured as he can't spin the ball out at pace, so I don't see how it has suddenly become a problem. He is still important to the team in many other ways.

Sorry mate, but you must have watched a different game to me. Cunningham was a big reason why we won. He tightened the ship with some excellent defense which was ferocious in its execution and went a big way towards helping us hold on to our lead.



Not sure where some people come from with 'play slections' at times - probably listening to too much Clarkey and Cullen.
