When was the last time Leeds nilled anyone in SL? It feels like a very long time ago!

Our defence was one of our major weaknesses last season and has arguably worsened in the three games witnessed so far.

It is obviously THE priority area for the team to improve on at the moment. It seems that attacking play has been given too much emphasis, which is odd given the weather conditions usually associated with this time of the season.

All up to opinions of course, but personally, I would rather win 30-28 and play attractive attacking rugby, than win 10-8 and play safety first rugby.

Like I say just personal opinions.

But you are correct that Friday was a very dissapointing defensive performance, and is something we need to tighten. But not at the expense of the attacking rugby.

I actually thought we defended well at Hull, especially considering the injuries. Then I looked at the stats (and yes they are important for this particular stat), and we missed a lot of tackles. In all 3 games this season we have missed over 20 tackles in each, so yes that bit is a problem.

0-30 Away at Bradford?

Crusaders 09? Just after they had all the visa problems?

I'm with Gotcha. We've always had this "You score 5, we'll score 6" mentality (ala Barcelona FC).

I didn't hear many complaining about it whilst we were winning 3 in a row. I appreciate that defence is important. Honestly I do. But at the end of the day our 70-0 against Saints got us exactly the same number of league points as our 30-37 against Wire did.

tvoc... what's the highest points conceded by a team that's won the match? I'd be interested.

Leeds 48 Harlequins 0 - March 14 2008

We then beat the Bulls 44-2 the week after and conceded a last minute Garreth Raynor try the week after that in the 30-4 win against Hull at the KC. Since then its gone gradually down hill

Actually forget my last post, you are correct my friend. 68-0 on August 22nd

One of the most boring games I've ever attended

I prefer games that end 46-46 (or was it 44-44???)
Now that was a strange game! Sheffield I think?

Remember the team gettin boo'd off when they beat Huddersfield 52-46 back in 2001?

I prefer low-scoring games with a bit of biff thrown in like [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62XSX_w8aQkthis one![/url

Forgot about that.


And that
