Catalans are looking good at the moment. IF Saints can beat them next Thursday, it could be the start of a little run, as it's followed by Leeds (awful form), Cas, Salford and Huddersfield. 6 wins on the trot and the confidence should be flooding back (even if the injured players aren't).
I still wish we had a bit of pace, though. Phil Clarke noted that we score a greater proportion of our tries from within 20 metres of the line than any other team in the comp. We have very little long-range strikepower, and that means we'll always be screwed when our forwards can't dominate field position. They did tonight. Indeed, I thought our pack completely beat Warrington's, and Amor, Walmsley and Wilkin had their best games this year. But we won't do that every week, and it'd be nice to make the opposition feel threatened from our own half. At the moment, I've noticed that opposing teams play a really compressed defence against us in the first 60 metres of the field, because they know that even if we were to put it out wide, we don't have the pace to go all the way. That just makes it even harder for our forwards!
