I am not confident at all. Wigan looked close-ish to Saints through most of their game, whereas Leeds were exhibiting the same problems which got them in so much trouble for the second half of last year.
Missed tackles, lost energy battle, little-no go forward, giving the ball to individuals to "do something" (Hurrell now), poor line speed in defence, losing the ruck, individual errors.
I wouldn't be so bothered if I thought is was just form that was the issue, or just coaching, but I think our problems are structural - and really not helped by losing our only go-forward prop in Garbutt without replacement.
Give us two big, aggressive props who can make impact going forward and in defence, and then I could complain about scratchy halves and wing, but we can't even judge them properly because the side is playing compacted all the time.
All is not lost of course and things are generally going in the right direction, but I'd like to see us at least get close to Wigan and look something like. Hope I'm wrong.
