to put a slightly less rubbie duckie version of events, yes weren't very good early doors last year, but that was down to us having so many players coming back late from the world cup, so most of the senior playing group didn't get back to training till late december and some in january, so he didn't have a huge amount of time to start imparting his philosophy on the team as a whole.
That's what price has said.
And again, exactly what Lam said about the returning internationals even before the season started.

Escare, Davies, Gildart, Williams, Powell, Greenwood, Navarette and O’Loughlin started training with the rest of the players in December as did Hardaker(for other reasons obviously), so the comparison seems even more valid.
Those late arrivals plus a WCC to focus on, a two point deduction, aloss of a couple of really key players and the arrival of a new coach have made it a tricky start but like Wire in 2018 we’re capable of bouncing back.

I don't think you are. I cannot for the life of me see this squad anywhere near the top 5, and I said so before a ball was kicked..in fact I said bottom 4 and holding around relegation....and I don't blame Lam, he's taking the fall. It's stripped of its talent and not remotely replaced.... I'm not on here to troll, I'm saying it as I'm seeing it, and the way it's panning out, and I haven't gone half way with my posts from what I'm reading from your own fans....losing Farrell is going to hurt, he and Bateman are/were class back forwards, no teams could absorb that loss.
I can see Gavin Hastings being targeted for 2020.
