Agreed,i think it gave saints confidence knowing that Leeds doubted their own attacking capability

Leeds lost impetus with the change of Buderus for McShane, and in reality never recovered. I think Sinfield is a superb player but he had one of those games last night where nothing went right for him.



Rob Burrow seems to be a shadow of his former self, for whatever reason. It's a shame because he is a great lad and has been a superb player.

I don't think I've ever seen a team throw so many flat/forward passes than Leeds do this year.



Webb looks like he's playing NFL this year.

Sp,

There were a few thrown from both sides last night. It's something that needs looking at as it's happening in almost every game and from every team.

I'm not saying we didn't throw some forward but this year Leeds are playing so flat almost every pass looks forward.



The was one set of 6 on Friday by Leeds that nearly every pass could have been given as forward pass.

Webb doesn't seem able to pass backwards when at acting half back.

Webb really needs to concentrate on his own game rather than constantly whining about every decision/tackle to the ref

Also pushing the player as they play the ball. They got pulled for it on one occasion but were doing it all the way through the game.

Slightly off topic but it was something we were discussing at the scholarship/academy games on Saturday.



What's with this "flick" pass that al players seem to be attempting these days, Cudjoes pass to Lawrence for his try against Saints being a prime example.



Can players no longer pass the ball to either side with two hands?

Brilliant bit of skilfull play in my book. That's the sort of stuff that excites fans and gets more through the gates.

He took a knock early on, limped for a bit and then went hiding after.

I won't deny that it's skilful, but unless he struggles to pass off his left hand then why even try it in that situation?



Not being able to pass of both hands isn't new in the British game - I can rememebr Andy Gregory, Tony Smith and Sean Long all switching hands to pass off their 'stronger' hand in international matches in the past, a shocking state of affairs for some of our leading halfbacks of the last 20 years.
