Clash of styles! : Sun Feb 09, 2025 3:21 pm  

We have a very good attacking style of laying deep from a position of play the ball, RH or LH draw a man or two to commit in the tackle & get some one away or the winger on over lap. On our defense we have a tendency to await the opposition to hit our line & tackle as best we can but usually give ground against the faster or determined runners. However we should do well if we outscore the other side & don't tire or loose concentration !
I purposely watched leeds on their last two games, they lay even deeper than us from the play the ball thus it's very, very hard to stop them as by the time you run onto them they have options to break you, how we will deal with this will be interesting ? On their defence they run & attack you with high line speed to disrupt you & close down option to stifle you.
It is going to be interesting if both sides play 80 minutes to their style etc !

I'm not sure our defence is as passive as you suggest.

Re: Clash of styles! : Sun Feb 09, 2025 3:36 pm  

In the last 2 games our defence has been rushing up and stifling the opposition and dominating them in the tackle, frequently pushing them a good few yards backwards !!

We saw their rush defence at Christmas I am pretty sure we have improved through the pre season bring it on

Yep, we have improved but it's going to be interesting !

Think by the end of march we will have the final additions to the project we are on, but dont under estimate this squad think we are under the radar, Cas were big favourites today with bookies. No one on here believed me last year when i said get ready enjoy the ride well get ready again we are not going to be pushovers we were previously in superleague.
