Our defence is looking much better, and as a team we're much more aggressive in defence compared to under Smith in his last few seasons. This is an indicator that they are listening to price.



Our attack is a worry but it's not as concerning as our defence has been previously



A new coach and few new players won't all of a sudden ha e us tearing up super league time will be needed, would we be in a better position had we brought in price midway through last year almost certainly a yes. But to expect more or for us to be scoring for fun is realistic especially as those doing it mainly bemoaned the quality of or squad lady year which has not drastically changed that we should expect drastically different results.....



Price and hendo have one hell of a job on their hands and we knew this before a ball was played again those who are bemoaning the situation often stated the mess Smith has left us in will take more than one reason to put right but a handful of games in an its all doom n gloom price n Roberts can go lol

Well we still have 90%ish a TS team....tbh I think it's the first time it's been mentioned on here. I think many of us have forgotten that, I include myself.

So perhaps your last point is valid.

Good God. I was anti Price but this is ridiculous after 5 games. What are you all expecting at this stage?

If we manage to win on Friday (not impossible) then we’ll be 3/3 with a sound looking defensive structure and potential to improve in attack. If we were offered this at round 6 last season we’d be quite happy. I’m normally a bit of a negative-minded person but for some reason I feel things are turning a corner and once the attack clicks we’ll be a tough team to crack. I don’t think we’ll be particularly entertaining but we’ll be scoring more than we let in and that SHOULD win games, providing we can cut out the stupid indiscipline. I do think we should try a different leader on the pitch though. I wonder if handing Roberts the role would boost him mentally. He’s stated he wants control of the attack from 7.

Defence has improved under the new regime, good start for the new coaches.



The problem is that the penalty machines are still working overtime, not such a good start for the new coaches.



There is a complete lack of attacking ambition regardless of the HB combination, not such a good start for the new coaches.

Exactly. It's easier on everybody if we just write this season off. We will probably win as many as we lose and end up mid table. But then Price will be able to recruit for 2019 following another clearout.

Talking about the Hull game, who would have decided to go from the borefest to throwing the ball about after Patton went off? Price or the players ? Whoever it was needs to try it for the full 80 minutes.

Imagine backing Kevin Brown to the hilt and then writing off Steve Price and Tyrone Roberts after 5 games.

Anyone who thought we would seriously challenge for honours this year was optimistic beyond even my rose coloured view. Early days in a new era, defence has improved, hopefully attack will as well I’m prepared to wait and see. It’s likely to be a bumpy ride for the foreseeable future.

Reeled in.

I don't think many did that. I for one said we have no excuse not to be out of the top 3 after the money invested.

There is a difference.

Currently I'm rather disappointed however there is plenty room for improvement so I'm not despondent.

To be in the top 3 we would need to getting better results than 1 of the following



Leeds, Saints, Wigan.



Not going to happen.
