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?

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.

Im not blaming the loss on him. He just isnt good enough.

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.

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.

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.

Leeds don't have much of an attacking option on the right so they don't go there. Has Donald received more than half a dozen or so passes this season?

It's a bit of a chicken or the egg discussion.

Perhaps they would if they had a reason to. Neither Gibson or Watkins give them that reason. Gleeson settling in nicely at Wigan though.

Maybe it will improve if Smith can get himself back available for selection.
