RD 4 | Wakefield Trinity (A) : Thu Feb 24, 2022 11:26 pm  

I’d like to think that Agar looks at putting the boot in on a few experienced players and gives a shot to a few others.

Walker
Fusitua Newman Briscoe Handley
Austin Sinfield/Sezer
Oledzki Leeming Prior
Gannon Martin
Tetevano

Dwyer Thompson Donaldson Smith/O’Connor/Sutcliffe

Tindall.

Bentley, Mellor, Myler, Holroyd, Walters, Mustapha out.

Will Leeming be fit? He didn't come back on and was limping after the game

Jack Sinfield is nowhere near ready to play 1st team. Any suggestion to pick him is just ridiculous. It would do far more harm than good. He needs time in the reserves and academy to learn his trade.

Sezer needs to improve but hes an experienced player who missed most of last season and needs time to get back to his best form. He needs better options around him and he needs far more effort from his teammates and coaches.

I cant remember the last time i saw a Leeds forwars offload the ball. Our whole attack is looking awful not just Sezer.

We have a lot of work to do. That tonight was nowhere near acceptable.

100% agree with all of the above. Easy to blame Sezer in the same way that it was all Gale fault last year! Our pack is seriously lacking energy and Tetevano excepted not hitting the line hard resulting in a slow play the ball which is compounded by poor distribution from acting half (awful in Dwyer case).Add in that we are not off loading so getting no broken field play and play it becomes very difficult for your playmaker to move the team around the pitch. It is a concern that our attacking structure does not appear to be clickiing and that is a fair challenge against the coaching team. Because we are not punching holes up front our attack is slow and lateral and easy to defend against. Add in that our fullback which is the key position attacking wise is struggling to influenxe our attacking pattern in the way Myler has done previously. Briscoe in the centre does not work as he either puts the head down and drives back into the forwards or closes down the space for his winger and stops the attack. These issues will only be fixed on the training pitch and with better selection and luck with injuries. Throwing in the likes of Sinfield now will only harm the development of the player. It would have a bigger impact on the attack to put Johnson in at hooker and and potentially move Austin to Full Back however I would give Walker a xouple more games to try and have more influence on games.

Putting the boot in to some senior players would include briscoe Dwyer and Thompson on last nights showing. Watching Dwyer chuck the ball behind the first receivers ear everytime in good ball is infuriating. We need a prop on the bench, Tetevano goes there and saying here you go Sinfield sort that lot out, is not the answer. Let johnson have a go at 9 to see if he can help 6 and 7 sort their game out

Re: RD 4 | Wakefield Trinity (A) : Fri Feb 25, 2022 7:43 am  

All Sezer need is consistent Ball from Hooker. Just flipping so your simple job of passing to him nearly every play from 3rd tackle onward at first receiver. The amount of times Dwyer and even Leeming scoot and throw a rubbish pass is beyond a joke. I’d rather see Johnson play, literally just to provide steady and consistent ball to our two best players. It really is that simple. You’ll see a completely different Sezer, and Austin too.

Re: RD 4 | Wakefield Trinity (A) : Fri Feb 25, 2022 7:48 am  

The forwards will win or lose the game and the backs and halves will decide by how much. My worry is we are sadly lacking in the front row, and lose any modicum of momentum when Dwyer comes on throwing passes behind people.

There simply has to be change in the pack.

Yes totally agree, the halves need a bit of time in s new team together, asking a teenager to come into a team down on confidence is just madness

The only spine change I would make is Broadbent to fullback. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't see Walker making it as a top SL fullback. He's not skillfull, fast or strong. He has a lot of heart, but hard to see what else he brings to the table.

He’s had 2 years out of the game and wasn’t expecting to be first choice, and he’s still only young. He is skilful but it’s obviously going to take some time especially with a whole new dpine which he has never played with.
