Quote ="Uncle Rico" It's a truncated format and will will likely be as the at the top at the finish as it is now with 6 or 7 teams going for 4 play off places. Whilst not excited by the displays I've seen so far i'm hoping that our squad and general play will improve we certainly have the personnel.
I'm not saying that we will win it BUT if this was a Leeds or Wigan of old, some might comment that the sign of a top side is to pick up the points in close fought games whilst not playing particularly well....watch out when they click at the business end of the season
Here's hoping that this applies to us but if it doesn't out of the cup finish 5th then judgments can be made sooner rather than later for me'"
We won't win anything playing as we do now. Only seriously better performances will take us past Pies/ Saints/Cas/ Catalans and one or two others ( Hudds are still improving). I'm with Rico here insofar as no improvement = no trophies, but grinding out a few wins to build confidence is no bad thing right now. Have you noticed that, when 'set-free' of the game plan by an opportunity from deep ( like Lineham's and Widdop's tries) we can look inspired, skillful and daring? We need to work to release more of that.
