| Quote ="SmokeyTA"=#80FF00As I said in the Burrow thread, Last year our defence regressed a bit, our attack regressed massively. We conceded 99 points more than 2015 but scored 354 fewer and that includes a terrible 5 game spell where we conceded 38, 28, 52, 40, 52.
A good defence keeps you in games, your attack can be appalling for 70mins but if your defence has kept you in it, you attack can fire for 10 minutes and win you a game. A good attack makes a good defence much easier.
Our big problem last year was that we didnt really have the game management to help our defence (good long kicking, repeat sets) or the knowledge to build attacks (our last tackle options were terrible) which often left us chasing games and having to try the long range or spectacular which increase the chance of dropped ball, which gave us poorer field position and made defending harder. Whatever his physical issues about his speed and size, i liked the way Lilley learned adapted to this as the season went on.'"
You can say that again..Do us a favour and stick your marketing manager on hold.He's taking all the feeds up with what the Rhinos are going to do in 2017.Cant get a word in edge ways..
Cheers..

Last season it really felt at times as though BM and whatever senior players had no idea what was going wrong or how to fix it. Like it or not, that sort of team implosion is the responsibility of the coach first and foremost.'"
spot on. it lumbered from one week to the next with no improvement and no lessons learnt

That's the worry for me too & McD's comments do not make me think this year will be any better.

Not 100% accurate. One lesson that McDermott & GH did learn was that the club had been sold a pup in the form of Beau Falloon and there was a small improvement once they'd addressed that. But beyond that, I'd agree.
Not impossible that further lessons have been taken on board since then but so much this year is going to depend upon Parcell imo.

| They made improvements towards the end of the regular season, it just came too late to avoid the Middle 8's.

My recollection of last season, hazy now I must admit, is that our 6th tackle options were woeful throughout.
Hopefully McGuire's return fully fit will go some way towards remedying that.

| I have just fallen off my chair at the new that Toovey is to take over at Bradford. Talk about banging your head against a wall. A coach of that quality in Championship rugby, whilst we continue to persist with this idiot who calls himself a coach. We deserve all we get.

If this news is correct (only one media source thus far), one would assume the new owners (Chalmers and Lowe) aims and aspirations are somewhat are higher than the pub team which the club has resembled over the past few years.
Toovey or McDermott as coach?
Tricky one that... not really

Spot on. Think it says a lot about the guy and his questionable motivation for joining a club who have zero chance of promotion this year and could struggle for a few years after that to get it when he could've easily gotten a SL job in time even if you discount Leeds.

| Bradford better than Leeds in so many ways.
Better coach.
Better curry restaurants.
And it's got a Taco Bell.

You've posted some garbage over the years but that just about takes the biscuit.
& before you say it, I know what I'm talking about having been brought up & educated in Bradford for the first 21 years of my life.
Whenever I go back now it's so depressing though it has actually improved over the past couple of years.
Bradford has still got a way to go to even approach Leeds as a city in which to live work & play.
Grudgingly, I may concede on the curry restaurants.

Bradford has a permanent skating rink.
Leeds hasn't.

Grudgingly?
Not a single curry restaurant in Leeds comes even close to the Top 20 in Bradford.

If Parcell has dodgy hammy's then he's going to love heavy ground in a British February.

| Broadway is White Rose in the middle of Bradford at best and puts the city on par with Doncaster at worse!
Bundobust and Tharavadu are both in the Michelin Guide so Leeds can more than match Bradford for curries. We've not even got onto East, Deeva, Manjit's kitchen, Kerala and Hansa’s.
Sheffield had a taco bell before Bradford. Leeds will get one eventually since its a fast food restaurant.
Bradford does have a better cinema than us though..
