Quote ="Gotcha"I don't doubt the metres Briscoe and Hall make at all, it is a fact, and one that makes us stronger going forward.
However, Leeds last three games of poor performances haven't been because Hall and Briscoe were not there to make metres. The problems, have been entirely defensively, and the way we have no composure when the going gets tough. They wouldn't have gone away with Briscoe and Hall. Our scoring for has not been bad in these recent games, it is the pish poor defensive efforts that have been.

I agree with this. I'd argue, as well, that since we know Hall and Briscoe are not on the pitch to make those metres, we should be rotating our forwards differently. We don't seem to be doing that.
But it has been our loss of control of the ruck in defence that has troubled me. We seem to end up with a man on the ground behind the ptb far too option and there are cheap, easy metres to be made. That creates chaos and penalties and/or line breaks are the inevitable consequence.
It's all fixable, and we weren't doing it earlier in the year, so I'm not panicking.
