Two finals was good after last year, but two poor final performances, where we looked clueless tactically at times doesn't reflect well on the coach, and Roberts was a terrible signing. Not sure if Price is the right man long term, next season is a big one.

I don't really know how much progress we made. Superleague is so bad that a team can go from bottom 4 to top 4 within 12 months without improving that much. We had good effort throughout the season but I thought our attacking structures near the opposition line were consistently mediocre.

Austin will be a good signing, cannot be any worse than Roberts anyway, but a new attack coach and getting rid of Brown would help.

Same way Smith approached it.

I don't think we did one one kick to the corners in the Saint's game though.

The pack are the least of our concerns in terms of defence and making field position.

I'd rather us have a chat with Shaun Wane.
Give him a 2019 off then ask him to join Price and Hendon in taking on Shawn Edwards Wigan!

Smith stated he let the players work out the attack and play what’s in front of them. I don’t think that’s Price’s style - it works when you have great attacking players and clever half backs, but we don’t. So Price’s structures approach is probably better for this period of time. What he does needs is a little off-the-cuff magic that Austin will (hopefully) provide, and hopefully another halfback with a bit more game management (and the odd drop goal in him)...

Well I’ll settle for being as successful as Wigan
