Early days, but it looks like we got the best deal out of this swap!

Having said that, i'd be interested from any ITK's what qualities Poching brings to the table that maybe Lowes didnt.

Yeah, that's the one. I might dig up the thread when we win the GF.*

*banter.

At no point in that game regardless of King, Grix, Cooper, Bridge (anyone else?) getting injured did we ever look like we were in that game, from the off we looked flat and yes unfit the previous week against Wigan we were also guilty of looking a week behind them in terms of readiness.
I won't say i was one of the doommongers but those injuries at Cardiff were a very convenient excuse.

no i'm the same over that, all those crap passes that hit the floor, nothign to do with injuries, and nothing to do with fitness.

We just weren't on, giants were case closed, regardless of the decent fist we made in the second half.

Likewise we weren't exactly on the boil against KR either.

spot on

as I said at the time...we were ringrusty, and were to some extent against hkr
Week on Week, we've improved since Cardiff
Hopefully, we'll be like a runaway juggernaut come Wembley and Grand Final

It is a mouth watering/ scary thought.
I'll admit at the start of the season, i feared Hoffman, Lima and Finch. Now, after having heard Finch may get a go out against us. Doesn't faze me. I actually believe now we are the best team in super league.

I do think there will a dip in the performance this season. As Phil Clarke says so often you can't maintain a high performance for every game. Lets hope we have a wakey style wins, instead of Hudd style losses.

I do believe though we can and should win something this year.
