Quote: Sal Paradise "
One of the problems on the left is Moon who seems incapable of running in a straight line - he often cramps his winger for space due to his diagonal running.'"


Yet he is our form centre and tops our try assists and this season already has a higher number that anyone last year

Quote: FlexWheeler "So do you think everything is ok with leeds defence and attacking protocols?'"


Leeds have shown this season they can defend well and attack well so nothing wromg with your protocols. When players lose form and their timing if just a bit off the things that looked good one week can look poo the next. Accept that it is the players that recently have not performed and not the coaches.

Class players will regain form given time and patience. They know more than anyone when things are not right.

Quote: FlexWheeler "What about effective rugby?

Wigan have scored more points, and have a greater points difference. They are the champions.

Effective. Results.

It's funny to me you mention flair and flashy play. Running around aimlessly along the line, throwing hail marys out wide, i don't consider that good to watch. Wigan create space and overlaps out wide with structure in the middle so their wide players get space to run and score good tries. That is good to watch. Imagine how good leeds could be to watch with hall, briscoe, watkins and moon being put into similiar situations.

It's also again funny you mention flair and flashy play. 3 of leeds 4 tries were from kicks the other night.

Awesome.'"

No wigan create space by sending dummy runners in front of the ball to cause obstruction. I don't find that either good attacking play or good to watch.
We were managing to put Hall, Briscoe, Watkins & Moon into good attacking space earlier in the season without the need for the boring blockers that many teams seem to like to use, and then b1tch and whine about when they're rightly done for obstruction.
There's no reason we can't get back to that.

Quote: Juan Cornetto "The facts also remain that Hall is our top try scorer and Moon is top for try assists and they have built up a good understanding which cannot be said for the Watkins / Briscoe combo. Moon with his highly effective running style is our most likley player to create a try.'"


Given that Leeds attack mostly down his side his try and assist ratio is bound to be higher - would Watkins create and score more with the same level of supply I for one would say yes. It is all conjecture

Indeed!

Now that Hardaker is back in the team hopefully we will again better see the attacking prowess of Watkins....and hopefully Briscoe. Zak does seem to favour linking up down the right. This should be encouraged and perfected. That little extra space created is all that Watkins needs.

If Watkins wore the cherry and white he and his winger would score double the amount of tries they score at Leeds and they would also concede fewer, IMO.

The at times bizarre current application of the obstruction laws yet again rewarded poor defensive play by Leeds' right centre.

Blimey. I'd hate to see what would happen if Leeds weren't still right in contention for three trophies this season.

The structures are all wrong. The coach is rubbish. If all our players played for other teams they would be world-beaters.

Given that this certainly is all conjecture on your part Sal.

This season Moon has made 204 carries and 15 try assists and Watkins 255 carries and 10 assists. So Moon has a 25% better try assist per carry record.

In addition Moon (34 offloads) also has a 43% better offload per carry record than Watkins (24) too.
