First good non derby crowd next monday against Saints ?
I'll happily keep eating some pie if we play and win like this every week. I must admit over the past few weeks the players certainly seemed to have stepped up and I believe this is because of the new changes to the back line, Gleeson , Phelps and Obst all improving the squad IMO.
Are we just having a "good week" or have we finally turned the corner and are seeing the fruits of Agars team ?

| Too early to say if we have turned a corner, the good news is we have got better completion rates, are offloading at the right times, are using the bench better, have a real team spirit and have been able to close games out.
It's a step in the right direction.

| Agreed. I'll be needing plenty of gravy for the humble pie I'll be eating, if this keeps up. Happy to admit I might be wrong!

| Way to early to say we've turned it around. But it's 2 more points. And that is what counts. Brilliant Easter period thought we'd do KR but now Wire - fantastic.

Spot on, Paul. We've certainly played to a better standard in these two games than we've seen for a long time, now let's hope we continue to build from here.

Just my opinion, but I actually think we played well in the Castleford game as well. Which for me is when we really started coming together. Obviously that day was rather ruined though by Childs.

| The good thing is that Agar seems to be learning from is past mistakes.
His bench rotation was a major cause for concern early in the season, and it now seems alot better. The commentators today said the bench won it for us today, whether this was down to a good selection of the 17 or well timed interchanges i'm not sure.
The brand of rugby in 2009/10 was awful to watch, 5 drives and a poor kick at the end of it. We're now throwing the ball around for fun, offloads everywhere, the ball getting whipped out from side to side, Yeamo scoring for fun, both our wingers have scored 5 or 6 a piece - this didn't happen before.
It seems as though we've atleast started to turn the corner, just not fully around it yet.

| I personally feel that the Saints game will be the bigger test out of the recent games.
Warrington have being hit and miss recently (not taking anything away from the win certainly thought we would lose today) and beating rovers is not going to shake SL up as much as the win means to us personally.
Saints are playing some good stuff and it'll be a test next monday I am sure which will be bigger then the last two games. IF we win that then things will be looking hell a lot better for us.

Westerman and Radford should be back for that one, hopefully no more lost from today's game. Monday will help, longer turnaround.

| Hopefully some of the stay-aways will turn up next week and get behind the club.
