I don't think it is. For me, your coach comes across as one of the most uninspiring people I have seen in charge of a Super League team. How on earth he expects his team to respond and get sparked up with his utter dullness is a mystery. I don't say this with any degree of arrogance because Aussie coaches are a lottery, but when you see someone like Holbrook interviewed you can feel how connected he is to the players and the outcome - his enthusiasm rubs off and you can see that watching him in the stands. Your guy looks like an angry man who doesn't quite know any other way.
Tony Smith may have been past his sell by for sure but I am not sure you have picked a leader in Steve Price.
On the plus side I do think there's some improvement in you over last night, as indeed we are likely to drop off at some point. It is still very early with lots of new signings and a new coach.
