Leeds stick to game plan and win game? What the f**k is your point?

I wonder if the OP started this thread last year after wigans scintillating 2 try victory over a hull team with a 5% completion rate.

Thought not.

Well you'll be pleased to know that Leigh, Sheffield, Featherstone and Halifax all play an exciting brand of RL



Leeds can play with flair or they can grind it out. They dominated Cas, and nullified their threat. Cas didn't have a plan B and that's one of the main reasons they weren't able to compete for much of the game.

Leeds tactics weren't as boring as listening to Jonathan Davies.

Why is it negative. Rugby isn't all about throwing the ball about with gay abandon, it's called applying pressure it happens in big games.

Leeds are winning cups and your team is getting relegated boring or not what would you rather see

oh dear.

I couldn't care less if it was boring. Leeds won. Their job was to win, not play attractive rugby. I don't mention anywhere in my post it was boring. That wasn't my point.

My point was that it was 16-10 to Leeds with 30 minutes left. Leeds had ended nearly every set by banging it in to touch, seemingly happy to defend the lead rather than trying to increase it. If Cas won, i guarantee Leeds fans would have been saying " we played too conservatively when we had the possession etc" That was my point. As i said earlier, it worked out in the end but when i posted it, Cas were right in the game when Leeds should really have been out of sight

Leeds tactic of kicking to touch wasn't negative at all it was great. Dorn is Cas's fastest man and he didn't get a look in.
Leeds went there desperate to win, they thought their tactics through. Kicking was part of it, also to play it tight with few errors.
Those tactics won the match plus outstanding games from Hall, McGuire & Burrow.
Nothing negative, just how to win a Cup Final.

I understand where you’re coming from, but only Mr Sinfield can give you the answer.

At a guess, they may have been worried about Cas attacking from deep in broken play. By putting down the scum the defensive structure was kept intact.

Winning tactics end off

No they weren't

Make the opposition attack from deep and play the game in their half....is it pretty? No. Does it make for a great spectacle? No. Does it win the trophy? Yes.

I actually do see where you are coming from, and felt at the time that if we had pushed a little harder, we could have secured the game earlier. But at the end of the day, it worked, and we were fairly comfortable.
