Arthur said they'll start pre-season next week to give them an idea of what it will be like and then have a break. He mentioned focusing on doing basics under fatigue as something they will practice. He's said the attitude is good but clearly not impressed with fitness and execution of even the most basic jobs. Some players are not going to like this. Which is a good thing - far too many seemingly happy to continue to stuff up every week.

Almost everyone in the current squad makes dumb errors, or plays OK one week and goes missing the next. Without a decent platform up front though we're always playing a strange game with makeweights trying to make yardage or playing too many sets starting from poor positions.

I hope a really hard off season will fix some of the players up. That and hopefully a decent pack will at least let everyone see who is of the right quality.

Having said that, I'm fed up of hearing that player X will go well in a better team, or they were OK two years ago, or they looked good when we batter a poor team or they work hard. Its trotted out time and again when said player (players plural) play badly. No more excuses. If we want to get back to the top there can't be any sacred cows.

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg



This is my point often too. I’m sick and tired of accepting excuses (not reasons) for persistent poor performances. Those who are not capable any longer, need to be replaced by those that are.

Quote: Sir Gregory ParsloeP "I agree about the first bit, I have a bit of a different take on Newman. I think he actually needs to be much calmer and composed and focused. I know he has ADHD and heard a story from a senior player about how is mind is racing pretty much no -stop. They are different characters but I think winding up Newman is akin to winding Gazza up to play football, it’s counterproductive. I also think he is better at right centre than left.

I’d be putting him inside Ryan Hall on the right wing and trying to sign Kallum back to play right second row and they can both mentor him and keep him focused on just doing his job.'"

Living with ADHD is really tough but if managed with a lot of understanding and education about the condition (there's so many misconceptions) it can be a huge strength. a real step forward despite not being at the peak of his powers , has been to come through a full season without major injury. I hope he can go up a level this preseason

Quote: Exeter Rhino "I thought Leeds played very well in the first half and were unlucky to go in at 10-10. High completion (94% according to Sky) and took their chances well.

In the second half we reverted to type. All it took against a good side was one error or penalty leading to pressure and more errors/penalties following shortly after. In this situation we lack the big dynamic forwards or individual brilliance to drag us out of our own half, and we just got worn down.

Please can we stop bagging the usual suspects and giving other players a free ride? Frawley played well IMO with ball in hand and served as a useful foil for Croft, who was exceptional when we were on top in the first half. It wasn't only Frawley's kicks that were going straight to hand, so did Croft's - and IMO the lack of platform from the rest of the team is a major factor here. Even the likes of Brough, Sneyd and Sinfield Snr wouldn't get great kicks off behind this pack. It's a shame we don't have a player who can kick 40-20s from dummy half in the team any more...

Edgell had a great game (one critical error aside). I have to admit he surprised me when he got over to score, and he made a decent break in the second half (?) too. Still not sure he is big or fast enough, but interesting to see what he'll be like after the pre-season. Lumb looks more of a natural athlete but he will be found out quickly if he cuts inside every time he receives the ball (Jim Fallon esque).

As for the moments of weakness, these were the lowlights for me


i will give you 4 out of 5 , Frawley offered nothing

I would say this season we have 2 of the worse centres in the competition.
Momorovski needs shipping out asap and Arthur needs to assess if Newman is capable of improving or not.
Both imo cost us trys one when Newman sent a ridiculous pass to Croft from DH and Momorovski when he came running out of the line to allow KR to score.
Sangare I think or hope that he has been told to show me what you can do by Arthur and failed miserably.
Our best forward is leaving and we have some promising kids coming through but will not be top 4 players consistently throughout the season.
I`m sure Arthur will get the team fitter and more committed but we need 2 more props a hard running second rower and a similar type of centre to make top 4 again.
