I know Wakefield only got six yesterday but it sounded on the radio like better sides would have had Leeds beat in the first half. If we defend strongly, I'm not convinced this current Leeds side could match us in that department (they average 10 points more conceded per game).
I think thats a fair summary however the radio commentary didnt really reflect our defensive effort at BV in the first half bearing in mind the penalty count and the fact we played the last 10 mins with 12 men. Ithink at several stages they had 4 consecutive sets of 6 from drop outs but still failed to score.
Yes our discipline and handling were dire in the first half and against a better side and you fit that description atm I think the half time deficit would have been too great to surmount.
As it was I think we nilled them in the second half and our vastly superior fitness levels and improved skill levels and discipline saw us ease away relatively comfortably.
Bear in mind also our injuries and our transitional issues both in the current playing staff available and the changes in coaches and game plan.
It should be a good game this week but yes I think you are right to be confident.
