There's still a big question mark over Radford, but he does appear to learn and to change things if they're not right.
2015 was a weird year for us. We had a pretty decent defence, bar a couple of halves of rugby where we went to sleep. With the ball we were pretty good too;
- 2nd for Tackle Busts (Leeds 1st)
- 2nd for Meters (Leeds 1st)
- 3rd for Average Gain (Wolves 1st, Saints 2nd)
- 3rd for Clean Breaks (Leeds 1st, Wigan 2nd)
- 4th for Offloads (Leeds 1st, Catalans 2nd, Wigan 3rd)
The problem for us last year wasn't getting into the oppositions 20, it was converting that pressure into tries. We're going into 2016 with a settled (and fit) halfback partnership for the first time in years, Houghton is at the top of his game, Shaul at fullback instead of Rankin which should play to Shaul's supporting game running off Pritchard etc, and two centres in Logan & Tuimavave with skill and guile (instead of Yeaman and Sa who had none of that).
Hopefully, that'll bode well for a decent season. We're just hoping for some decent rugby and to be in the mix for a top four spot up until the final rounds.
