Of course.

Just me being thick. I thought he might have been on about one of the other players who haven't quite hit top form yet.

???, Noble won his first game (Hudds, away) then lost his next 6 !!!!!

p.s. I dont think anyone should underestimate the impact Shaun Wane has had.

10 wins out of 13 would put us in a fantastic position and after starting with 3 wins from 3 it's not unachievable(although is still a tough ask).

If we managed to do it and then replicate that form in the 2nd half of the season we'll be nailed on for the top 2 and in all honesty probably finish top. I'd imagine whichever side does finish top this season will probably lose 7 or 8 games because theres just so many tough fixtures out there.

Leeds must still be favourites to finish in that top position but they've lost 2 games already you'd have expected them to win. When you consider they've still got away games at places like Wigan, Saints, Hull, Bradford, Warrington, Catalans, Huddersfield etc those 2 defeats could end up costing them.

The downside to that is bar the Warrington fixture we've still got to go to all those places aswell.

Well we have won three now so that means we need 7 wins out of our next 10 games...not undo-able. Massive ask with big games against Leeds & Saints coming up.

I think we can get one win from those two fixtures, that should put us in a good position

If show we can compete with those two, and back it up with a solid performances week in week out, then we can talk of a top 2 finish

The big tests for our hopes of finishing top 2 will be at places like Bradford next week and at Castleford a couple of weeks after that. They are both decent sides but if we look at the game between the 2 last Friday then compare it to our game the night after against Wire they're both clubs we should be well capable of beating.

As ever it's all about the attitude. If it's as good in those games as it has been upto now we'll stand a fantastic chance.

Games against Leeds, Saints and Wire could go either way and in reality any wins picked up in those are like bonus victories. They're hugely important but they're not our bread and butter.

Maguire always talks about improvement throughout the group.
This is what is being acheived so far.

Against Crusaders we were scratchy in part and understandable being the first game.
When HKR were here we improved and Morgan said that at times Wigan's kicking game was perfection. After that game MM said we needed to improve for the visit to Warrington.
At the HJ I thought it was a massive improvement on the HKR game in most things apart from perhaps the kicking game. We raised the pace and intensity of our play and the players out there gave it absolutely everything.

In the first two games at DW the opposition only scored one try in each game. If Cats are restricted to one or two tries then it will be another good performance.
As improvement is what MM is seeking and getting then we have every right to be optimistic. At the same time we are all realists.
The comparison of our first three game this season with the first three last year shows the degree of improvement made.
Well done all, long may it continue!
