Harsh but true. Is it just coincidence that Kilkenny has had two of his best games for Leeds in the last games of the season, when he is officially in the shop window - getting stuck in, harassing the opposition, winning 50 50 balls, playing with passion and pace? When in the games I've seen him play earlier in the season he was as light weight as Sean suggests above. What is it about Aussie players at Leeds who have skill (eg Killkenny, Kewell) but just don't try hard enough, enough of the time? If there's one thing people should know about Leeds fans, we love a trier (eg Becchio, Deane).
