Call this a dispatch from the “water is wet” department.
Kemar Roofe said that Leeds need to improve set piece defending. Really. You don’t say.

It might be time where we need to just do something with it. But hopefully we just get a bit better at it. We don’t want to be conceding goals full stop and we have been conceding a bit too many from set-pieces.
It seems like it’s a recurring thing so it is something we need to work on. But that’s what we are going to do this week I suppose, we are going to work on our weaknesses and hopefully we can do that and show that against Wigan.
Perhaps the team can hire a set-piece specialist that will teach them how to defend them this year.
