Really dreadful website - obsession with videos rather than text makes it too time consuming to find what you want. No 'team news section' no menu etc etc. Should have been headed "Under Construction"

I guess this is what happens when you don't employ an assistant website developer.

Going back that player blogs and apps some players now are down as having less appearances than under the old site

The game has always been next to useless in maintaining an accurate historical record. At club level it's often left to enthusiastic supporters like TVOC (Leeds), Bilko (Wigan), Sadfish (Saints) etc,. I know of no other sport which treats its history in such a cavalier and disrespectful fashion, and particularly so since the start of Sky's Super League summer schedule filler took over.

Shoddy workmanship there. I am not a web designer by trade, but could have done a better job myself. Its ok using a picture as the background (stadium page), but at least have the font in a colour that you can read as you scroll down. I turned it off after the first page view I had, but I guess there are many more errors to be seen.

You would think somebody would check these things before allowing to go "live".

I'm not usually one to pile in to the club with things because I'm generally impressed with how the club is run. But I really really don't like this. I know it might be the in-thing to have a website in this format but I find them more difficult to navigate and to actually find what you want.
As others have said I don't like the obsession with videos rather than text, it's more time consuming and means you can't watch it without headphones or everybody hearing it.

I also agree with William on the shoddy way statistics in general are kept (or rather not kept) by the sport. Some fantastic work done by people like TVOC and Bilko but it's work they shouldn't have had to do, or certainly not to the extent they have. I know this isn't just a Leeds problem, it's a sport problem but as others have said Leeds own stats on their own players seem inconsistent and incomplete.

TBF I'd judge it in a few weeks. At a guess they rushed it out in time for this particular week and will fine tune it in time.

I know they shouldn't rush it out before its fined tuned but I won't wet my pants like most about it.

The navigation is really rubbish
I wanted to settle an argument about the years we had won the championship and it took ages to find the Honours page. Had to end up doing a search for it as couldn't be found in any of the menus
BTW I was correct and it is 10 Championships we have collected, if the stats are correct and there is a strong chance that, according to previous posters, this is incorrect
