Leeds like Barcelona in football always have a player backing up in a position for any offload, no matter how unlikely the offload will be.
We on the other hand are not, as illustrated on Saturday when as a example Bowen passed the ball to Smith and he dropped it.

Matty Smith dropped that ball and no one else. It was his lack of intelligence and awareness. This does however lead back to the coaches who do not promote and push offloads and backing up.cpwigan wrote:You tell him WW, the referee was to blame, wasn't heWhelley Warrior wrote:What, for dropping the ball ?shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: Blame the coach!
I am almost certain that the Leeds players are more alert to the offload because it is coached and promoted into their game.
We very rarely make breaks and half breaks in the middle of the park from offloads and pivots backing up. A key ingredient missing.
One could say Wane is basing his forwards back on the style he used to play or wanted to play when he was younger.
A lot of our breaks come out wide via centres and 2nd roweres.
