I think Nathan Brown's own post match comments might back up your theory: he was very laid back. If he is too laid back then it is possible the team will have not prepared well but instead have gone into the game overly relaxed.
That'll teach them anyway, if your theory is correct.'"
I thought his reaction in the press conference was fine. He was spot on in his comments that if you don't turn up physically you end up looking like you have all sorts if problems. Hence people posting squads for Widnes changing halves and backs when the problem was clearly the pack.
Bit of aggression and we'll be fine. Nice little reminder that games aren't won on paper and well be better for it.
