Does anyone remember what happened to Wire in 2012? They played London the week before the cup final and ended up losing 62-18 or something to that effect. If my memory serves me correctly they put out a weakened side, so I don't think we should go down the same path. I'd say rest some of the older players (Peacock) and blood some youngsters but don't go overboard. Because, y'know, more points and winning the league an' all.

I don't want to see more structure in our play. I think we have enough as it is. Just because we aren't doing the same play over and over again like Wigan do doesn't mean we don't play with structures.

What I want to see is 2 extra props at Leeds as we only have 2 and a young lad at the moment.

I agree with you. I too do not want to see more structure if it is the sort of boring obstruction moves and laying on in the ruck. The attraction of rugby for me is to see the individual talents of the likes of Watkins and Burrow. In the more structured set up you can get away with 2nd rowers in the centres as it is all about power and painting by numbers.

As you say Leeds do play within certain structures or frameworks for both defence and attack. In attack we allow the players more individual freedom than some because we have players with individual skills. However all structures only work when the players are on form and have the timing perfect. I am sure if you watched Wigan week in week out you would see that they too have plenty of off days.

I wonder if by structure people mean a bit more attacking idea near to the opponent's line.
I do.
Our play is to my untutored eye too much off the cuff but we've not done too badly playing like that for the past few years.
But as I said earlier, that's great with players of the calibre we've had, can we continue to be successful when those players retire?

You took it pretty hard when your failings were exposed - or have you forgotten that? My point was simply that those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Unlike you I don't feel the need to ram my opinion down everyone's throat on every opportunity - do you suffer from some confidence issues that mean you crave attention all the time?

I argue my case where I feel it is appropriate or where I feel strongly enough to justify the time to write a detailed post. This isn't very often, life is far too short to obsess about a form of entertainment - which let's face it is all rugby is, it isn't life and death. For me its quality over quantity!!

Part of the fun is winding you up - which is really easy - doesn't take much of a poke for your true colours to come out. Just read back over this thread and you will see what I mean. As the saying goes the word is mightier than the sword something you could take on board.

Did I? I toyed with tvoc to see what the motives of his childish challenge was......had he not done that I would've comfortably and straight forwardly admitted/altered/discussed the correct stats.....when someone challenges you to leave the board forever you can't help but be intrigued by their motives, even when they start to back peddle.



Not really and how could I? Even thought the original debate on that thread was with Gotcha and then one with Tvoc, YOU still constantly bring it up (even though it started back in January) like the faithful little lackey you are

I believe Gotcha and Tvoc want a cup of tea so be a good boy and run along and put the kettle on
