Joey Leilua

[Tubby]

He's looked lazy and uninterested from the start, his defensive positioning is terrible and bearing in mind his pedigree, it can only be that he's not putting it in.

[binosh]

Awful player. Lazy and defensively poor.

Fair play to Joey, a definite improvement in the last couple of weeks. Hopefully he'll keep on getting better and peak for the playoffs.

   We all hope the players can put more effort in and improve their performance.My suggestion to play him in the back row might have stirred him.Although i do criticise players from time to time it is because i know they can and should do better i fully respect all players who put a shirt on.

[haskey]

I agree SOA It is a very physical game . brilliant to watch and as you say. you have to respect everyone who puts a shirt on. I do wish also that the refs get a better grip of the game , which should cut out the frustration in some of the players  due to dubious decisions , in their and the speccies eyes.

[The odd ball]

How much was he blowing in this heat today not interested and walking back  think he worst singing of year and time to let him go more life in a junior aspirin 

[jamescolin]

I thought he did OK. His pass to Briscoe to score was first class and he showed determination to score his try.

[Squidward]

He's always given me the impression that he plays at 75%.

Maybe he doesn't have the lung capacity of Luke or Hardy or even Lineham who's grown on me. Or maybe I'm being kind to him.

Having said that I feel that for the big game he's capable of producing at a higher level. I hope so.

[lingaro]

Lineman had given 100% every game so far,  can't ask for more!   He's improving and growing in confidence pleased for him and the team. 

[wasginger]

I agree he didn't always run the ball in with conviction today, but when he did it was very telling. Also from the first half he was struggling to  get back in line, it looked like he'd damaged his calf or hamstring after the game he was walking with an ice pack on his leg.

Hardo commented on radio Leeds after the game that he'd had a few niggles for weeks, which is why he was rested last week. Given that, he was taken off as a precaution this afternoon but no concern about any injury. 

[lingaro]

Joey,  was stretching in warm up and seemed to pull something before the game. 

[Eternal Rover]

Definitely looks like he's carrying a strain of sorts at the moment. Showed glimpses of what he can do, but, in the most his body language is lethargic and he comes across as being too laid back, don't think he's  been fully fit since the start of the season. Very flat footed defensively, smarter teams target their plays around his channel in that respect. Frustrating as we've all seen his quality in the NRL, he just doesn't seem to be really pushing to get something nearer to that level of consistency (respecting age and passage of time). Report thus far would have to say underwhelming, needs a big end to the season, hopefully he surprises us all.

[Andrewj]

Is he contracted for next year if so would you want to keep him ?
