It won't work against Saints, but before the game we didn't think it would work against Wigan. Especially with Field and French on the back of metres. But commitment to the tactics and working their socks off came off. Like Smith always says (or alludes to) in his press conferences - just take each game as it comes. Wasn't a surprise to see us give up yards with the lack of size in our forwards, but Smith managed it perfectly

Our lateral defence was incredible last night. our outside backs were outstanding ! best i've seen since our glory days.

Great call. The shift play to Field normally creates a try or a break most times but there were no gaps last night. The desire to defend was incredible.
You guys seemed to have turned a corner under Smith. Good game plan, Myler kept it simple at half back.
Looking forward to seeing Newman in the World Cup.
Leeds will finish 6th!
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

Think we'll continue to have some ups and downs this year with the injury/suspension situation being what it is. One thing is for sure though - Smith is the real deal! Really great Rugby to watch, and that's all that matters to me.
He nearly blew it 5 minutes before half time when we needed to keep it tight and he overran one move that ended up with the ball going into touch - then we got it back and he tried to throw a ridiculous offload the next set of 6.
Either of those go the wrong way and were backs to the wall and into the break with a 6 point lead rather than 12.,
