    I didn't say that, there's no need to resort to sarcasm.

      Quite sure I do, but thank you for your concern.

      So often you use fatuous arguments punctuated with 'rolleyes' as if to show disdain and highlight your position of superior logic. I was merely pointing out that a statement that Leo should retire, without any further support was bizarre at best (unless of course you had neglected to select a 'tounge-in-cheek icon?)

          It concerns me too Nico - he is one of the best kicks at the club, but likes to handball to the stationary man in traffic

            Oh - "so often" - really...?

            Is that all you were "merely" doing...? I've commented a number of times before that I think his game will deteriorate and may need to look at retiring at the end of the year.

              I thought Leo played one of the best games he has played in a while. He did not play a loose man in defence. He was playing on Schultz. You know Roosey plays one-on-one. We never play a loose man in defence. As for Leo's runs and handballs, why would he just kick it to a contest and turn it over. He draws a player and then handballs it on. Most of the time it works.

              Can't believe some of you really think he should retire. That is really harsh. Maybe you have visual problems!

              I am sure Leo would love to play in the back pocket all the time and not as an undersized FB but I don't think he has that choice. He is told where to play.

              Well done Leo. Think you had a great game.

                So why not state that in your post? Or are all your posts meant to be read in context with all previous ones? Silly me for not having researched your particular position on this!

                  Well done Leo in getting in the best players. You deserved it. Was not the only one who thought so!

                    A lot of the time it doesn't. He rarely hand passes to a moving player, because he takes so long to get rid of it. He is a good kick, why not kick to a leading player, or someone in the clear? Not every kick has to be to contest, and not every contest is a turn over

                        I agree that sometimes he does handball to a stationary player but I did not think he did this today. His disposal was quite good. Poor bloke - don't think he can or will ever do anything right with some supporters. Plays one of his better games for a while and still gets bagged. Why don't we talk about Kirky's game? He was relatively quiet.

                          Responding to someone saying "no need to use sarcasm" the post after they use it is a perfect time to use it.

                            What's with the Bloods stalking. Plenty of people here make comments without any apparent foundation. Bloods has been giving it to Leo for a while. So what's the agenda guys? Is it a post envy thing?

                              This place is boring. Even after a win you same negative Mod edit make the win dull. No wonder no one hardly posts here. Mod Edit : Personal attack - Take it off the boards!

                                Certainly no 'Bloods stalking' agenda - and apologies to Bloods if it appears that way. Certainly don't want to descend into a nit-picking argument over this. Just not a fan of (what appeared at the time to be) throw away statements on players.
