| Been a strange old season with the injuries (what other team hasnt had them tho?)
But a few points from Last night:
*Centres, Senior's passed his sell by date surely? he chase back for the goulding kick was comical. And his turnstyle tackling was reminiscent of Richie Mathers. Delaney is consistanly avarage, is that whats expected for a Champion winning team?
*6/7, for me one of Maguire/Burrows should be sold and replaces with a quality aussie (if there is one available). IMO it would be Maguire, as good as his is for that match winning try from an individual piece of brilliance. HE counter-acts that with consistantly poor tackling (minus the hit on glass jaw), and ill decision making.
*Set Moves, from the games i've seen this year leeds attack hasnt looked this same, possibly with the large player rotation but it seems as if some arent quite so sure what calls being made. Handling skills were put to a test last night but its usually something we excel in.
*Ganson, as mentioned in another thread about his defensive line set up.. its a possiblity. As for some of the other calls it does seem he likes to be contraversial. From the southstand the ablett tackle looked nothing more than a shoulder in the chest rising up. made dramaticlaly worse by J.Tompkins running in for handbags after.
*Wigan tackling, as frustrating as it is to watch, it has potential to win them the Gf at OT. 3/4 man tackles releasing the player at the last possibly moment which allows in turn the defensive line to set. I'd be intrested to see the ablett pentalty again on our own line to see who was holding who down which led to a try.
* Coley/Glass jaw, The probable Hubcap winners have carried these two chumps for the season, neither make big breaks or big tackles and share a minute number of braincells between them.
Next season bodes well for wigan after their recent signings, I was kinda hoping Leeds would be a team to be fearfull of for years to come. As stated above, does loyalty come before sucess?

| I still think you'd write off Sts next year at your peril. If they stay fit, they'll effectively have 5 better players in their squad than they had available in the GF. Even this year, take out both of Wigan's halfbacks and is anyone sure the result would have been the same?

| Saints are considerably stronger next year - injury crisis permitting.
They've upgraded significantly in some areas where they were arguably weak in 2010 even before injuries hit.
Unless Leeds do the same they'll be scrambling to make the top 4 in 2011 IMO behind Wigan, Saints and Warrington.

We're 2 players light at the moment, I'd expect at least 1 external signing really.

With a new South Stand to pay for and two weeks passed since the end of Leeds season, the silence coming out of Headingley regarding 2011 recruitment is deafening...

We're still some pace in the backs short of winning finals though.
Our only pace in the backs comes from our halves, with a bit of zip from Shenton.
