I wonder if the forwards are performing, just how Smith wants. One of his big brain ideas does seem to be "energy conservation". Last year it was taking the first 20 minutes off, this year its the passive defence. As a coach smith has always shied away from the arm wrestle side of the game . It wouldn't surprise me if the forwards are instructed to just go through the motions in attack to preserve energy for defence or the last 20 minutes, or some reason only known to Rohan, as the forwards we have are better than they are showing.

but doing a million times better....

I think its far too early to consider whether Burgess will be a success or failure.

Warrington have an excellent squad, with an owner with lots of resources. It's a perfect job for a rookie coach. Especially someone like SB who's more of a motivator, than a technician

True and after a flakey start they seem to be building towards some good performances, we on the other hand are making the same errors week after week and look to be treading water.

Who knows what we will turn in this week, this could be the game where we click and go on to a great performance / run but for me we a far, far too inconsistent team week to week and tbf in most games too.

But they've always splashed the cash Jack.
And it hasn't worked out.
Didn't it start well for both Price and Powell and then both fell off a cliff?
As some others have said, it's way too early to judge Burgess yet.
They're on the crest of a wave just now.
Remember Smith got us to the GF and all other teams were looking over in envy as though we had found the real deal.
No-one would take him off us now.
