Leeds are exploiting the micturate poor tackling technique that came into the game some years back to stop the offload/slow the PTB down, as seen every single weekend forwards/backs are always able to offload more often than not even with 3 players around them.
Tackle correctly, bring the player to the ground instead of fannying around grabbing the chest/shoulders etc which is so limited in its effectiveness anyway as all players not just forwards can still make more yards or just break free in a 'tackle bust' and still offload which leeds do with aplomb.
It's this aspect of the sport that has dragged the game backwards, requiring bigger and stronger forwards to counter the upper & lower body strength that enables players to just push would be tacklers off/get an arm free.

If you as a coach were playing the % game then using the classic tackle technique actually lowers the amount of offload/yards gained - watch when it is done (there are some very good exponents within our game) and note how few offloads there by comparison to the grab tackle and the limited yards made.
it also commits less players to the tackle so the offshoot of that is less chance of overlap, fewer players out of the defensive line at the PTB and fewer offloads, especially ones that are 'unexpected' from say a 3 or even 4 man tackle.

What Leeds are doing isn't rocket science, it's recognising in a very logical way how to beat the opposition, drumming into the players their role the tactics and probably they have a sports psychologist too so that they have a belief in the system and what their role as individuals are. They are coached/trained in a way that come match day it's like second nature.

It's just being very professional from top to bottom in a way that exploits the opposing coaches weaknesses in thought/understanding. It helps having very good players on board too, it's breath of fresh air and is very much like the great teams of the past playing with a combination of power & guile.
Teams have played like this to a degree in recent times and they find it more enjoyable to play and this has a knock on positive effect in all aspects of your performance.

If, as a defence, you just tackle round the legs then you might eliminate some offloads but you'll concede a huge amount of ground. Because the play the ball will be that quick you won't be able to move up in defence.

Pretty much easy pal. We led for more a less the full 80. Never looked like losing really.

Yeah! Cas are awesome. Hope we don't meet them at OT, no really.

The only way we can go back to the way that rugby league was meant to be played is by going to 11-a-side. We were always meant to have more offloading, more tries, more space than rugby union as you know. Well players have got fitter and faster yet the playing field has remained the same size.

What I propose is to get rid of 2 forwards and change the name of the hooker to quarterback, and call him a back too. And give him the No.8 jersey. I love seeing Les Boyd in the No.9 NSW jersey, so would love to see an aggressive forward wearing No.9 again.

So my England team would be :- Fullback--Z Hardaker//Wings--T Briscoe, Ryan Hall//Centres--K Watkins, D Sarginson//Halfbacks--G Widdop, S Tomkins//Quarterback--J Roby//Forwards--G Burgess, T Burgess, J Graham

Interchanges - D Clark, C Hill, A Walmsley, C Ablett

11-a-side we should see more teams playing as Leeds are at the moment, I would assume there would be more off-loads, and also in the NRL the defensive line often gets taken back 12 metres, well with 11 -a-side going back 10m with the back foot 10m from the play-the-ball, that would be sufficient, and this is what we have now most of the time in Europe.

You were very good in the first 15 mins when you raced into a 18-0 lead and again in the last 10 mins.

Those 55 minutes inbetween when you were out scored 24-6 weren't exactly "easy" for you.

So we played better in the part of the games that counted and ended up winning by 2 scores. Didnt look like losing throughout the game.

Apart from the near 3 quarters of the game when you were out scored 24-6.

Cas were deserved winners, but it wasn't easy and I doubt at 24-24 with 10 to go many Cas fans thought "we don't look like we'll lose"

And you truly outplayed us at wembley. Class you were. Pitty you didnt play like that a few week back.

Why? We came top. Makes no difference.

Im kidding I just love the reaction of fans. We all know Leeds are too good for the rest of Superleague and there is no point the rest of us playing. May as well move Leeds to the NRL I say.

Aww let him have this one. They don't get many! I remember them all rolling up to HQ to see their boys steam-roller our team made up of kids and antipodeans as the rest were on International duty. We all know how badly that ended for them! Was a great night though!

Leeds haven't reinvented anything. We're just trying to play to our strengths of an offloading game with good outside backs. If anything I'd say its working this year in part because of Cuthbertson, but also because it being the last year for a few they aren't leaving anything in the tank. Wembley hopefully won't have the same impact as last year either.
