Warrington Wolves • Blake Austin.

I remember 10 years ago when the complaints on this forum were that Tony Smith had us winning too many games in the regular season and we were peaking too early, whereas sides like Leeds knew how to save up their wins for when they counted.

By the end of TS's reign we had mastered the part about being poop for large stretches of the regular season which was something we maintained under Price but we continued to be flops in big games other than when we were playing Saints for some reason.

Now Powell seems to be going back to the early TS idea of winning lots of games in the regular season, time will tell whether this has any correlation on our performances in the playoffs or whether we have just gone back to the same old failed approach from a decade ago.
