Im eating my words thats for sure. 2 great performances at home so far. Today I was worried. After 20 I couldn't believe at how easy it was. Great tactics no question

I also like having the squad in black trousers and white shirts. Professional.

Cannot see how anyone can argue with results or performances and Toronto and Leigh do not look the cast iron one and two that many believe. Win next week and we are really motoring.......

Let’s hope they can keep it going. Seems to have taken a different approach to hendo.
Agree with you on the more professional approach, if you look good it goes a long way to being good.

So, what are we all thinking of the new coach 3 games in.?
Anyone changing there opinions?

Catalans and Leeds away as well as Crusaders at home were all put to the sword under new coach Rob Powell in 2011, then after a narrow lost to Huddersfield we defeated St Helens away.......after that we won 2 more games and finished 12th!

That said, I do like the reports of discipline and being well drilled, cutting out the errors and periods of "dozing off". Might just be that Ward is the right bloke for the job, because he is good at the basics and getting them right in this division is 2/3rds of the battle!

Factually accurate but a tad glass half empty don't you think? That was then this is now, I am sure will will hit bad patches, and I do worry about injuries, Sammut had heavy strapping on his right leg yesterday and if we lost him that would be very serious, but I am increasingly optimistic that we have got through two potentially tricky games in winter, when the sun shines.............................

Should I have used a bigger smiley face to underline the impishness of my post?

I did go on to say I was hearing good reports and maybe he was the right guy for the job after all......

My tongue was also firmly in my cheek, Toronto another key fixture!
