What a difference a couple of weeks make! Turns out we can compete, and win against teams near the top. Just shows when you are aggressive in defence, within the rules, you force errors, you gradually get on top, you get bounces of the ball etc, etc. The last 2 games compared to Toulouse and Salford are just like chalk and cheese. Wigan have given us a couple of dust ups, but against all the other top teams we have competed, with loads of players out, and we have taken beatings from the teams around us more often than not? It's an attitude thing, especially defence, we have now set our own standards, let's hope we continue, and get rewarded with at least a couple more wins. But, if we don't and fall back, people can't say it's because we were missing xyz players!! Congrats boys, keep it up!
The key has to be our defence and tbh I don't now where that improvement has come from. A month ago we conceded a 20point lead and got thrashed by 70 points. Now we concede only 19 points in two games against far better opposition.
If you can work that out you're a great man because I can't. It's not like the signings we have made that big an impact, Shaul has done the best but I he simply can't be credited with this.
I'd say our last two games have seen defensive stints as good as anything in SL. Incredible turn around.
