Still in it. But we've got some problem with being in their half. If we've the ball, we lose it. If they've the ball we give a penalty away. The territorial stats must be appalling!

Also, fair's fair: Turner is playing well at stand off.

Louis - great comedy value at the screen after the match!

Big call for Cinnungham to be sacked a few weeks ago, were you wrong or too early to tell?

His post match comments have improved as well, he needs a few more wins for the fans to believe in him. The winning run is giving him a lot of confidence and valuable experience, if he proves us all wrong then good on him.

I'd kept the faith till about mid June.

Something has changed though.

Thought Jon Wilkin was awful and so was Greg Richards. Vea was pointless.

Big raps for the rest of lads especially Turner, Owens, Amor, Greenwood and Knowles

Ridiculous. I've said all along he'll turn out to be a class coach and he's proving me right. Hang your heads all you unbelievers.

At the time those calls were justified. The team has found something from somewhere and credit has to go to KC

I think they are playing a bit smarter, the team spirit also looks good. Turner and Owens who have received the most criticism seem to have a lot more confidence. For me LMS and Greenwood have a lot of influence and are working well out wide with the centres.


Foot Note: Greenwood made 55 tackles and 100 metres yesterday.

For me, the main change seems to be much better defensive structure. We're still not scoring many tries, we still look unlikely to score from our half. We still haven't got quite the forward yard-making I'd like. But because our defence has tightened so much - particularly on the flanks - we can now win games we would have lost previously just by conceding more tries than the opposition.

Confidence is building, and that's obviously very important for attacking and support play. But it's defence where the notable improvement is.

Cunningham reminds of Radford, in reverse. Cunningham overly praises performances when he shouldnt, whereas Radford was openly critical of the team and individuals after defeats. Both seem to be learning this side of things, and starting to turn things around
