Because he always contradicts himself in time.

But this time he is right. There is a problem. And you are right too, it makes no difference who players there, because he can't win a match on his own. Our style of rugby is the big problem, and we have lost the plot completely.

Quote: DISA "What the feck as the right hand side got to do with anything.

We could have anybody in that centre position last night, just like the rest fo the season, and we still would have looked crap.

The second rowers are appalling, and the tactics are a joke.

Same old fickle Leeds fans. We have been sh[iit[/ie all season so far, but because we were top of the league and won at Huddersfield last week, everything was fine. It's not fine, it's a joke. This team is appaling to watch, and I don't care who plays right centre or wing.'"


Cant you have a chat with Phil Daly and get some answers, or perhaps you can volunteer and offer some coaching tips?

Do you not think that the fact that Leeds are that weak down the right side ensures that opposing sides are finding it even easier to shackle Leeds key players?

Compare that to Saints who have a threat across the park?

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories.

I do think its' goo enough. Its' not the strongest area of the team but its still good enough.

No. Watch the 2008 or indeed the 2007 Grand Final.

It would be nice if we could strengthen the RHS and utilise it more but a signing will make no difference whatsoever to the way we're playing right now. We have much, much bigger issues than who plays right centre.

As I said elsewhere, if we sign a right centre I hope he brings a game=plan with him that ensures he receives quality ball in space.

I don't think the right side has anything to do with it. I don't think it matters who is out there. The style of rugby we are playing would nullify and top class centre out there. And whilst our second rowers are so poor at the side of that centre, I don't see what any change in the centre would bring.

It's been said many times on here (arrogantly, but correct) that we managed most of last season without a proper centre. Difference is the rugby across the park was much better and more dangerous than what we are producing now.

So having a goto option on the right, in addition to our goto option on the left, wouldn't improve the attacking options of the team?

The right centre isn't the only issue with the side but it's still an issue.

Coach is doing the best he can with 19 first team players. It's no coincidence that some fans could see the recruitment this off season would lead to problems. Problems arrive and now the coach is to blame??

Whenever I've seen Senior this season he's been pretty poor. Do Leeds fans agree he's getting past it, do you reckon he'll still be playing next season?

best centre we've got. Not the player he was though. Sad thing is right now if we lost him to injury we would be up shat creek without the 33 year old.

Quote: G1 "The right side isn't our strongest but I agree with all others that Mclennan is taking an area that hasn't been a strength and turning it into a disaster area.

I really don't care now who he thinks his right centre should be, Gibson, Watkins, Ablett or Smith but whoever it is must be given at least half a dozen games to strike up some form and continuity with poor Donald. His dithering over the right centre is shocking coaching.

Oh, and if we do sign a new player for right centre I hope that signing brings with his a game-plan that ensures he receives good quality ball in open space otherwise we will have wasted our time and money.'"
Agreed.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



Quote: fanstanningley "Agreed.'"


If Smith was his preferred option what chance has he had to play him? with a combination of Webb's injury and his own Smith has had no opportunity to play at centre

He hasn't but he could of given Gibson,Ablett or Watkins an extended run in stead of changing nearly every game.

I'm not saying recruitment is not needed. But come on, the tactics are simply awful. We dont get the ball to the centres anyway, so I dont see what difference it would make having a quality star in there.

I think we have scored less points than anybody in the top 8 now, and less than Catalans, and Warrington, outside the 8. 10 teams better than us. That shows how poor we are with ball in hand. That can't simply come down to not having a decent right centre.

If we were any more predictable in our style of play, we might aswell give the opposition the two points before the game, to save embarrassement. Move the ball widish, then pass on the inside to the crappy second rower running at the angle inside. I could teach kids to defend against that.

we are predictable in that everything comes from our left hand side and has done for some time. Add to the fact keith seniors legs are now 33, not only are we predictable we're not as good down that side than in years gone down.

I could coach a team of kids to defend a team who only attacks one side of the field.

Interesting that there's no "Bluey out' thread on here. Smith would have benn burned in effigy by now with results and performances of this year. icon_lol.gif

Right centre and wing is one area that isn't doing so well. IMO the pack is playing soft regardless of personnel and the 'creative' players we have are virtually all in dire form. Between them 5 international 'playmakers' can't create a half chance.
