It's All About the Positives : Wed May 20, 2009 6:01 pm  

http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/rugby-league-headlines/Leeds-Rhinos-Senior-We39ll-turn.5283245.jp Is Brian McClennan just Daryll Powell except uglier and without hair? Powell used to spout about positives, no matter how bad we played. And what did he win? "Yeah, we've lost 90-0 but the positive is that we didn't concede the hundred". Now we've got McClennan bleating about it and he's even got the players doing it. So, we dropped a lot of ball, we made silly, pointless offloads that cost us possession, and let Cas back into the game. But it doesn't matter because that's not a positive. The positive is that our spirit was good. This pathetic mentality just doesn't work, which is why our discipline seems to be getting worse, our error rate isn't improving and we just aren't playing all that well. How can we improve when we don't address what we're doing wrong? Would Daniel Anderson ever spout such utter tripe? Would Tony Smith or Brian Noble? Come on Bluey, get some balls!

P.s IF bluey is supposed to be a bald ugly powell and we won nowt with powell(i don't remember losing 90-0 either ) Surely we wouldn't of been the first team to win the WCC and GF in the same season! You do realise bluey was the coach when we won both those trophies last year don't you??

How much had you had to drink when you typed this? Senior and McLennan share a hairstyle, but are not the same person. In either case, the article clearly states that they're gutted to have to have these weeks off, but do you imagine that doing an Eeyore and moping about in a thistle patch about it will help? Does the article, in fact, not say that there are problems to be addressed and that these breaks are an opportunity to do so? My advice would be to lay off the gin, it can make some people depressed, as well as incoherent.

As far as I’m concerned 3rd in the table and not far behind first is not bad at this time of the season. I’d rather have a positive focused team than a negative focus team.

Oh mr scruff don’t think for one minute that Bluey isn’t going to sort these problems out because they’ll all be sorted out come play off time!

Do you have any evidence to support that claim?

Colin Masky kicked 10 goals if I remember rightly. Some big fat useless welsh prop played as well if memory serves!!!
