Exactly. It's easier on everybody if we just write this season off. We will probably win as many as we lose and end up mid table. But then Price will be able to recruit for 2019 following another clearout.

Talking about the Hull game, who would have decided to go from the borefest to throwing the ball about after Patton went off? Price or the players ? Whoever it was needs to try it for the full 80 minutes.

Imagine backing Kevin Brown to the hilt and then writing off Steve Price and Tyrone Roberts after 5 games.

Anyone who thought we would seriously challenge for honours this year was optimistic beyond even my rose coloured view. Early days in a new era, defence has improved, hopefully attack will as well I’m prepared to wait and see. It’s likely to be a bumpy ride for the foreseeable future.

Reeled in.

I don't think many did that. I for one said we have no excuse not to be out of the top 3 after the money invested.
There is a difference.
Currently I'm rather disappointed however there is plenty room for improvement so I'm not despondent.

To be in the top 3 we would need to getting better results than 1 of the following

Leeds, Saints, Wigan.

Not going to happen.

I Like his soundbites, Maybe I'm being a sucker but it just sounds like he knows whats going wrong and he's trying hard to get them fixed.
Towards the end of his reign you genuinely felt Tony Smith didn't have a clue and the Game of Rugby league had simply passed him by.

that said he will be under some pressure should we lose.....

Think we need a reality check regarding some of these calls for Price's position to be under threat.

2 simple points,

1. No away game is a gimme in SL. It might not sound good but we could lose all 11 away games and not one would be a 'shock'.

2. Of our 3 home games, the 2 defeats have come against the 2 sides who are more likely than any others to be contesting the Grand Final.

With those 2 points in mind I fail to see how anybody can really question our start or question Price's immediate future.

Yes, performances are pretty uninspiring but I think we all knew it wasn't going to be a quick fix after the shocking state we were in at the end of last season.

Price needs at least 1 full season, some proper recruitment and the opening 6 or 7 games of next season to be properly judged. Anything sooner would simply be a knee jerk, panic reaction.

I like this.

We get beaten tomorrow and we're deep in it.

Not sure how Price will be under pressure should we lose. Smith went 5 years with underperforming and not winning anything. The club won't pull the plug after 7 games.

So are you saying "the club" has learnt nothing following "underperforming"?

He as a 2 year contract, can’t see him being replaced his season.

It would be very foolish and unfair to deny Steve Price at least a season and start of next season to get things going in the right direction. I can't believe anyone is even considering replacing him after only 6 games! Just give the poor bloke a chance and some time to impose his experience and expertise on this group of players who have been atrocious for over a year now.
