When it’s the same set of players, who have played a certain way for a long time, they revert to type when the pressure is on. Not rocket science.
I’ve been watching them week in week out for a long time, so I’m slightly more informed on the topic than you are.


Maybe. It has however nothing to do with DNA or muscle memory. It might have something todo with psychological conditioning and/or the lack of ability within the playing squad.

There are very few coaches who can come in to a club and get a different style of play, and ultimately a different result with the same set of players.

This isn't on Hodgson for me at all. The ownership of the club need to support him now, and put romance and nostalgia aside and ask him what he wants from his squad. I cannot believe he would come out and say that Sneyd and Houghton are the 7 and 9 that he wants above anyone else to build his side around.

I would be trying to move on Fonua, Sneyd, JJ (Houghton to be the bench spot hooker), Bowden, Masi at the minimum. That would give us some good cap space to revamp the playing squad

I agree with you but doubt many would take Fonus and Sneyd with the money they are on.

I don't have Sneyd in our top 5 earners - at least he shouldn't be, as he isn't an International.

Fonua will be hard to shift

While Reynolds won't be cheap it's believed Widdop is the highest paid player in the league and we don't have the funds Warrington have.
Wests contributing towards Reynolds wage will help though

The guy is a absolute waste of space and has been for the past 2 seasons. I’m struggling to think of a worse prop in the league who constantly gets selected week in week out. There must be somebody in the Championship we could take a punt on, at least they would show some enthusiasm you’d like to think.


Never been the same since picking up the injuries.Chris Green the same .
Not the same players who played back up to Taylor and Watts and with little noticeable loss in impact
I have a feeling this may happen to Taylor and he becomes an injury liability

I was dubious at best about Reynolds signing when we got him.
Somebody like Widdop would have made a massive difference alongside Sneyd.


I agee about Widdop he is a class act but Sneyd?
Totally overrated and not now even the best kicker in the game either from hand or conversions..Comes up with the odd 40/20 and a kick to the corner but apart from that his passing is on a Houghton level and he seems to stifle our attack in the opposition 20 instead of taking the line on and committing defenders.Saw big Chris stand outside of a team huddle when Sneyd was talking to the players.Maybe like us he wants more action from Sneyd rather than a voice.
He is one of several big names who i would try and move on including Houghton,Fonua ,Reynolds and Bowden and try and give Hodgson some funds to bring in players
We have to add some pace into this team especially in the halfs and at nine and the coaches need to look seriously at this teams indiscipline and do something about it.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Re: Leeds home : Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:32 pm  
Is the world about to end, or have we lost a rugby match?

When we lose, it's LR's fault, when we win we're the bee's knees.
