Simple then. Just out of curiosity, were you playing against probably the best back division in Super League?

Best back division or not, is there ANY excuse for missing 60 odd tackles?

Better to it against the best than the worst I suppose.

Just offering my opinion. Lord above that anyone should think differently to you.

Haha. Then if that's your thinking, are we to expect shiote tackling and 60+ missed tackles against wire and saints then??
But it'll be ok, cause there a top team. Love your thinking.

I'm hoping last week both teams wanted to go out and put a attacking show on, Leeds tightened up there defence last night so I guess tomorrows game will be a better reflection of where we are,
and we don't really want to be 4 points behind Wakefield with Wigan up next for us

Big game for both teams Sunday.

I think Dixon has a lot to offer. He won at least 2 penalties running the ball back Sunday. He got made a mug of by Watkins and Briscoe Sunday. Show me a full back who hasn't.
For me he deserves a long run in the side. Welham Salter and Horne though are way below super league standards. Name me four worse players than them in their position in the comp. Horne I like but his defence is awful. Salter offers nothing in attack and his winger gets nothing.
Campese is a good defender but he was next to Horne and welham who were a shambles again.
Blair in the centre for me. Don't care if he is 50 stone he is better than any other option.
I like Donaldson too. Great defence high work rate and ran it better than I expected.
Tough game Sunday but Kelly may win it for us.

Horne had a great game on Sunday and is one of our most under valued players by the supporters and it's no coincidence he gets picked week in and week out. Ive always been a Welham fan but last week brought it home to me. He clearly can not rectify this deficiency in his game he defends like he's been watching DVDs of how Leeds SHOULD attack. And as said on here campese was very poor in defence too

Re: Wakie game. : Sat Feb 14, 2015 9:20 am  

Horne has been falling off tackles all his career back to before losing the grand final for our neighbours. Not strong enough. Brave and puts the effort in but gets ran over by bigger players. Wouldn't get in any other side in the comp.

Welham Sinfield targets every game we play them and.....
The individuals we've bought are all good defenders Dixon excepted. Their careers prove that. Campese is a very good defender but the shambles inside and outside him left him exposed Sunday. They were up against the best centre in the country as well.
Horne and Welham in the same channel is a 18 point start for the opposition.

Let me put it another way seeing as you are either not getting the point or are a little bit dim, Leeds back division will make better teams than us look rubbish, maybe we shouldn't write off our defensive ability off after one game against what many believe to be one of the best back divisions in the league.

Its Wakey not Wakie

Looking forward to Sunday, great away supporters coming in numbers to our first game where we are on a bit of a high.
Interesting game and decent atmosphere hopefully.
