He won't, this team will be lucky to make the Final, TS has another 3 months to work on Warrington with a better set of players at his disposal and will sort out their discipline.

Saints v Warrington unless Leeds strengthen and the discipline issues are resolved.

Are you a Leeds fan that's being very negative about one of the most sucsessful sides in the clubs history or just an awful troll?

Swing and a miss from the brain donor.

I was talking about right centre. I said a new one would make little difference and was a red herring to how the team performs given the game plan and lack of discipline.

Too subtle for you?

Quote: Richie Ramrod "
So therefore rotating three shouldn't be a problem despite the fact that which ever this muppet of a coach goes with isnt good enough because you think they just need a decent run in the side!!'"
Rotating three isn't a great idea, no. Rotating three during one game is even more of a bad idea.

Quote: G1 "Your last point is a criticism of the coach rather than GH.

I hope we sign some more players and they come from a back-ground where they are coached about the importance of discipline.

When they get here I hope they remember the coaching they received before their arrival.

Saturday was a microcosm of Bluey's handling of the right centre. 3 players played that position during one game. It was a coching masterstroke.'"
Which players were used at right centre?
There looked to be two changes at left centre with Senior moving to sec-row Gibson to centre.

Dunno how it went on the team sheet but Gibson played a spell in the right centre then Ablett went there.

Hmm so Gibson played both sides having been out for quite a while.
If BM wants Smith as his first choice right centre then why so many changes in that position?

Just a slight issue with comparing BM and TS' records as international coaches. A full-strength NZ are ever-so-slightly better than England. icon_wink.gif

Bluey is struggling a bit this year, in part because he's being let down by a number of players who lets face it are simply not playing as well as they can.

Some selections don't seem to be helping too much either - agree entirely with NOT rotating or playing too many different players in the one centre position. It's a tough role in both defence and attack and by this stage of the season, injuries apart we ought to have settled on one player to go for the rest of the season.

If Smith were still here he'd be getting an unbelievable roasting by now.

Sounds very different to the situation last year, when we had a lot more players missing.

Hey its not me who flounders around in a two bit solicitors office for a living is it? Too fooking subtle for you? icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

You think the squad is good enough as you keep telling everyone who still finds your views creditable, for the record any view you have in terms of selection and options is pointless, the squad is good enough, you said so, which means its parts are capable of playing where they are selected.

Quote: antoine "GH get it sorted before it's too late

Too many out of form and simply not good enough

Webb & Donald living off past glories and defensively have lost it

Diskin (looks disinterested)

Gibson,Worrall, Bailey, Ablett & Kirke - offer us very little

We've lost Toopi,Scruton,Ellis & Tansey (3 of whom are better than we have now) and replaced them with a decent hooker

With Peacock,Hall & McGuire out for Sunday I again fear the worst'"


I've not yet read any replies here yet but guess tvoc (and others) has (have) again responded more than adequately.
It's rather unfair to blame Webb (who I would suggest is still one of our greatest threats on attack - eg he has quickly learned it's very beneficial to support Buderus up the middle)..and Donald (who it must be obvious to anyone is badly missing being on the left with his old benefactor, who along with Ali, gives him the space he needs to exploit his greatest assets - speed and elusiveness. Webb too seems much better at getting out long cut out passes to his left).
Hall has grown so much in confidence.. and seemingly worked hard on improving his pace, magically epitomised by his try in Edingburgh...why not switch the wingers ?. And in his absence this Sunday please do not play BJB there out of position....or, God forbid, Ablett back in the centre. Threequarters should be [iWatkins, Smith[/i (he needs to be played there consistently as our best option at the moment...no more switching with Gibson and/or Ablett in a 'French farce' scenario), [iSenior, Donald[/i.

Unfortunatley, I have to agree with the comments on Diskin, Gibson, Bailey, Ablett and Kirke - to varying degress. I am particularly disappointed with Ablett who I thought would really kick on with his opportunties in the pack....I have never seen the advantages of having the belligerent, but ineffective-when-going-forward Bailey in the squad and Diskin has obviously taken the hump with having Buderus competing for his beloved hooking role.
Gibson is understandably lacking in confidence and must know he is only there to make up the numbers when all other options fail.

The greatest losses are without doubt Ellis and Scruton. The loss of Toopi for most of last season wasn't really an issue with the better squad we then had...and Tansey was largely a jack of all trades, master of none. Full back was his best position but with Webb, Smith and BJB available he won't be missed.

The pack must be a priority for strengthening..the expectation and responsibilty on Peacock's shoulders is immense. Sadly the great need for a right centre is gradulally becoming superseded ([isp is correct ![/i) by the failings in the engine room. The spirit is generally good, but the tactics, gameplan and discipline continue to concern. We are far too reliant on individual flashes of o[iff the cuff[/i brilliance on attack.

After all this we will probably beat Huddersfield on Sunday and continue to bumble along until disaster hits us at the end of the season with a plethora of serious injuries to and burn out of our key game winners. Burrow already seems to be a shadow of his former self: have too many knocks taken their toll ? Why can't he wear his scrum cap again ?
