| Quote ="Jose Mourinho"This is the area we a lacking this season... Aside from the fact there is not enough pace down the right hand side and not enough communication and attacking play down the left we need to start putting pressure in these areas to perform ... We need to do away with putting Martin at Stand Off, Grix on the wing and just accepting this including putting Atkins in the centres just because hes an england international - they have to earn there stripes... So the centres in no particular order consist of Gleeson, Atkins, Martin and even JD... 4 players for 2 shirts - best performers play... On the Wing we have Murphy and Peterson for the wings with Blanch injured (theres not much depth here) we may have t look at the academy set up... Get Grix at Loose Forward competing with Fergusson who can also play in the second row but if you wanna be picky - one of them plays and one of them is dropped... The Stand Off issue ... Well we dont have 1 !!! But its gonnna have to be rotated between Obst, Lautu or Drew (we simply dont have another choice in my opinion) - its not ideal at all but we may as well have a ball handler(s) in that position - not someone who isnt a stand off thats one dimensional... With troubles we have with injuries and no specialised players for key positions i would like to see Obst, Latu and Drew rotate the hooking and S/O role between them during the course of the game... Sound risky and a little disorganised but this can be practiced in training... I havnt mentioned the FB role... Well to be quite truthful Matty is one our more consistant players of late - hes not doing much in attack but is cleaning up and bringing the ball back well in a disfunctional side... Some of you may think im going crackers or ive lost the plot plus ive done a couple of night shifts !!
 but i dont think we have much to lose at present as we are playing players out of position week after week and some know they are playing regardless of there performance...
So an example of the team for Leeds (ruthlessness involved !!)
Blaymire, Murphy, Gleeson, Atkins, Peterson, Obst, Brough, Moore, Latu, Korki, Fergusson, Snitch, Grix ... Bench JD, Drew, Stotic, Bibey
On the this occasion Martin and Wilkes would miss out...'" you have lost the plot. |

Fair enough but at the moment i dont think we have much to lose especally in the next 2 matches might be worth trying out a few new combinations... |

I agree with the orignial poster about our problems at 6 but not with the solution.
For me we have played our most controlled and effective (if not most attractive) rugby with Martin and Drew playing 6 and 7 - often rotating.

It literally is ... Without the pace you will loose the games you could have won such as Shudds ... Pace is used in attack and defence and all the top teams have it ... Even the poorer teams such as Cas who cant defend for the life in them use it to get out of trouble and score more points than there opposition... |

Bump - they were shocking tonight especially down the right hand side - tbh honest id keep only Gleeson and Blaymire on current performances... A major clear out is needed !!
