It is understandable when a flat pass drifts forwards but the frustration in Webb's case is that so many of his passes are yards in front of the receiver so this is not an attempted flat pass just a badly executed normal pass. His usual incredulous reaction to his many forward passes would suggest the solution is not to be found on the training field but in a visit to Specsavers!

I think you're spot on with last two paragraphs, but not sure I'd agree with the first. While you're right about the flat pass, many of Webb's have been worse than marginal and some are shockers. Whether this is because many of his passes are ambitious and look brilliant if they do come off, or whether there is another reason is debatable.

My opinion, fwiw, is that this problem dates from his return from back injury. It's only conjecture but I think Webb's ability to pass accurately is hampered by difficulty in twisting his back. I'm not sure for example that he could have come near to making the pass that McGuire made to put BJB in for the first try against Widnes.

The WCC has focussed Leeds' early season form which was a missing element from last year. It will be interesting to see where the lull will come if at all.

BMD looks a different man as well. So much more relaxed compared to last season. That's got to come across to the troops.

Agreed i guess he's more comfortable in the job and more relaxed now we are "singing from the same hymn sheet" as it were.

Have to agree.....even if the team does suffer a slump I have more faith they will soon be lifted from it.

One thing for sure...any season ticket holders must be pleased they seem to be getting much more for their money at the moment this season to date.

It's all very well stating the team raises its game at the 'business end' of the season, but that hasn't exactly been conducive to buying a season ticket.

Would that be his hymn sheet or yours rhinoms?

No conincidence, he was 5h1te. But so too was Clarkson on Friday, so don't know what to say with that one.

I thought Brent Webb was very good again overall.

It's obvious why he got MOM, he was directly compared to his opposite number - the jittering wreck that is Richie Owen.

Bet Mathers is sing in a corner somewhere.

Agree totally, Mathers may have is faults but he is 10 times the player Owen is and a ever will be.

Before his injury I thought Owen was going to make a great player. Either the injury has taken it's toll, Owen has begun to believe his own press or he's mixing with some bad influences darn t'lane (maybe all three) and now Owen has gone so far backwards he does look like a joke.

Sad really, maybe if he's a good boy father Christmas will bring Owen his talent back at Christmas. Unless owen has upset Father Christmas.

Well he's getting his run at full-back that he wanted.

Careful what your Christmas Wish is, it seems.

Like it when Owen tried to go all 'Webb' on us, passing to his winger in-goal. That worked...........for Leeds.
