| Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Unless we fall off a cliff and continue to have injuries and sin binnings every game I can't see that happening, it is a concern that we have not being firing anything like last season. Against salford and Catalans last year in the first two games we really looked cohesive especially in attack, this years start has being decidely average apart from some individual magic from kelly for example.
The opposition haven't gotten any better we are noticeably worse.
We have a better balanced squad this year IMHO and no 10-15 minute stints from Pritchard in the wrong position or leaving a junior squad forward on the bench like Thompson/AN other for 50/60 minutes which happened last year and season before which puts pressure on the other forwards.
Players don't just lose their ability to pass/make decisions so not sure why we are going backwards at a rate of knots. Not interested in injuries being the excuse, we still have 13 very capable players on the pitch and they simply aren't doing what we know they can.
Mental preparation seems lacking and mental fatigue is there in droves which leads to mistake after mistake and from that physical fatigue/panic and then more mistakes by which point even the most basic aspects of rugby have left them.
As another poster put it, Radford IS an average coach, he just enjoyed a great period with some motivated players but an over the cap squad last season with few injuries but so far this season (as per 2014/2015) has shown no indications of being able to change matters when we get a few injured and our game goes to pot.
I think we will edge Leigh on Monday and TBH we really need the win before the games afterwards or this could be a miserable mid season slump.'"
Good post imo

The time when Manu did it, he did it at the play the ball and then went for a second go. The first time I thought "don't be stupid, we've got momentum!" and was relieved when nothing happened. When he walked forward and went for it again, even I'd have blown the whistle. It was pure idiocy. That killed off any comeback we could have had. It was the end of our pressure and the start of what we're three consecutive penalties in a minute (resulting in our captain getting binned). Game changing moment.

| inot saying it would have affected final result,but when are other clubs going to copy the leeds foreward pass percentage game,they know for every 10 foreward passes you throw,you will only get pulled up once,possibly twice at most.i know every club throws the occasional foreward pass,but leeds have it off to a fine art.

Was just taking before the game how well Manu has started the season and doesn't seem to be giving away as many silly penalties as last year, seemed to lose his head, hopefully this will calm him down again.

To be fair the officials missed two blatant forward passes in the first half.
