Leeming is one of the best young hookers in the game. To slate him is typical of our fans, who seem to go for certain players whilst others are untouchable. . Leeming for me is very shrewd at acting half- yes he gives away penalties (although has been Better in his last two) how many penalties does he win us when he runs at the off square markers!
Interestingly he’s given away the same no of penalties as Seb, and hinchy is just one behind- yet even though IMO Seb has been terrible this season no one is batting an eyelid. he’s the same number of try assists as brough, third in our tackle stats,
He’s a different acting half from O Brien- for me has the skill set to suggest he could play in the halves whilst O Brien could not.
