Yes, we should play smart, but IMHO this team & Rowley didn't get this good by only doing it ugly.
What's more, I think part of the increase in our attendances is down to attractive, attacking rugby & not just being the most dominant team in the Championship.'"
Absolutely Ste - we didn't give Leeds the fright of their lives by just trying to contain them. Against SL opposition, all this does is restrict the margin of defeat. The brand of rugby that Paul Rowley has brought to the club is wonderful to watch but is bound to be a bit frustrating at some point during a game as it is impossible to deliver off every offload.
At Championship level we are making a clear statement to the opposition every week 'If you want to beat us you will need to score at least 30 points'. If you can't do that then there is only going to be one outcome.
Much has been said about the offensive qualities of the team and how we play with great flair. I haven't studied the stats but it feels to me that defensively we are making excellent progress also.
