incorrect

haha.....

The worrying aspect of this season for me would be the complete lack of structure with ball in hand. It's reminiscent of 2006 under Smith, when the entire gameplan seemed to be for someone to come up with a miracle individual play and the support players to feed off it.

Compare the way Leeds move the ball in attacking positions to just about every other team in the comp, and they at least look like they have a plan even if they lack the talent to execute it properly.

Its just stupid to say Bluey out yet!

This hits the nail on the head for me.
Echoes my comments on a number of other threads.
We rely too much on moments of individual brilliance, especially close to our opponent's line.
This hasn't improved in the 20 0r so years that I've been watching the Rhinos.
Hence teams with inferior players (eg Bradford on Friday, Cas last season and Wakefield on occasions) have beaten us from time to time.
That is not to say that we have a divine right to win.

I agree entirely. Bloody good job we have the best defense.

Not when we play the better sides we haven't and pace around the ruck still does real damage to Leeds, I tell you something that has also surprised me, the number of times Senior has been stood up on his heals this season.

Menzies murdered him on Friday night.

Didn't realise that the Rhinos even existed 20 or so years ago?

Sack McClennan and get MacNamara

you can have AGAR

keep your mitts off NB though

typo

Yes, Tad, I have sent you through a marker pen so you can jot down what you know about RL on the back of a stamp!!

Bluey now handed his backside by the mighty Salford City Reds, truly outstanding, no really, truly bloody outstanding!!

First i thought this thread was shocking, but im starting to sway the same way.

We have been way off St Helens on 2 occasions.

We got taught a Rugby lesson by Manly - Who are this season very average in the NRL.

We got beat by the worst Bulls side in SL history.

Now weve been beaten by Salford who we have not lost against for over 13 years.

Im struggling to think what is going wrong?

They player seem to think the game is won before kick off.
They are very ill-diciplined.
They lack ideas in attack


All down to the coaching.

It's April. It doesn't matter.

Does when your paying good money for a team that has a serious attitude problem.


We all know they have talent but there attitude stinks.

You been listening to Brian Noble?

If you think that then you are an idiot...

He is.

He'd go home before he went there Dan!

Especially when we have so many players out and waiting to come back...oh hang on a minute?

Last year we dipped when we had injuries, but we were still good enough to beat most. I'm struggling to see how this is going to get anything but worse. It will be a true coaching masterclass if we rescue this year. We are double champions, we shouldn't be in a position where at virtually full strength we are struggling to win home games like this. This squad is looking shockingly short of pace and attacking options. For me it's all about the attack this year, the way we have worked with the ball is not putting enough pressure on opponents. We can defend well, but with a poor attack that's always going to be not good enough.
Near the line we have no go-to plays or structure and we have not enough pace to attack from deep anymore - not to mention the offload game has vanished. It's too easy for teams to handle us.
TVOC made a good point, at the moment we have the best core of any team in the league , McGuire, Burrow, Sinfield, Peacock, JJB, Webb. In a couple of years those guys will all start to decline, it's criminal for the club to not recruit the best quality players we can to feed of these guys now. Not next year, not wait 2-3 years for Kallum Watkins to mature, but now. In five years time we might look back and think about how we missed out on the opportunity. Not spending maximum cap to have the strongest possible sqaud is just incomprehensible.
Time will tell I guess and I really am hoping Bluey has an idea how to fix what's going wrong, and that the players respond.

Youve lost a couple of games and our calling for your manager out, Pathetic...

agreed. but something is wrong behind the scenes and it needs to get sorted

Totally agree.

Its also false economy.Continue like this and the crowds will decline.
Even an average conservative loss of 2000 a game means in the region of losing £50k a match.Multiply that by 10 games results in £500k lost income.
How many decent players could you get for that,including transfer fees. !!
