We were distinctly average then. Hence why I said “6wks at the end”. Just because we were top then doesn’t mean we were good. We weren’t. We were all over the place during games, see sawing between playing well and poorly over 80mins. It was discussed in depth on here after most games with the general feeling of “we were alright and did just enough. Something to build on”.'"
My thoughts exactly, but we did the same thing under Wane.
Performances would go from good to bad to awful (see Widnes in 2016) but then we flicked a switch and usually came good at the end.
Usually I would say that us finishing top or top two is the least we expect and achieving that isnt necessarily a success compared to Salford making a final or this Leeds team winning a comp for example, but given the hurdles this season of being on the road, midweek fixtures, losing players, fixtures changing at short notice etc etc to finish top should be applauded.
Fans will say that this year carries an asterisk, but you can also argue that this season has been the toughest to win given the issues above.
