My thoughts exactly @ The Avenger

Just watched it on TrinityTV (having missed it yesterday) and have to say what an outstanding performance that was to make the so-called Warrington Super Stars look like a bunch of amateurs. Brilliant 80 minute performance from 1-17 plus the coaching staff...our future is in our own hands now

Agree Avenged think the same, though funny how the attacking and passing as improved so much since Ford left ,and Gale came to the club

For me there is only 1 common denominator in the uptick in form, and that is Dave Fifita. More than happy to be challenged by the rose tints but Dave was the catalyst. Ford leaving didn't do anything, there was no sign of life. I expect that Gale was able to provide some guidance early on, but that sheer energy and belief only eventuated when DF turned up.

The guy is infectious. People around him can't help but be energised - he is even giving Runoff 1:1 time and as a result you can see Proctor rising in stature.

It's never only one thing.

Dave's arrival is absolutely the spark that started the fire but there are more influences than that.

Gale clearly has an impact on and off the field. You can tell how much he's into it when you watch the latest winning song video compared to the first. He is very much a leader with enthusiasm.

We are running shapes and setting game strategies that are working now. That isn't Dave. He's just giving the enthusiasm to get behind it.

Fixed for you.

Wonder if they have the Ted Lasso "Believe" sign up above Mash's door?

For me, Jowitts return has played a massive part in our upturn in form, his final pass selection is class, I genuinely think he is one of the best FBs in the league for linking into the line and throwing that cut out ball, IMO with him in the side for those close games early on they would have been different.

I agree. Jowitt is a key part of our attack.
And now he's getting better service he's really showing his class.

In contact, running with the ball, Langi has definitely got essence of Tupou about him.

I dunno about Gale, bit of a flawed genius, he's knocking it out of the park atm and the team is with him and each other and bringing their own A game, but it always feels like his next drama is just around the corner.
Still, if he can just keep it rolling to the end of the season without upsetting the yin and yang, we might just pull it out the fire...

What about me and thee. The crowd behind the team, following the 'better' performances, certainly will help the cause.
Compare the current, with earlier in the season, in terms of noise etc

I agree.
We need Belle Vue to be a fortress and the crowd is a big part of that.

Jowitt is class with the long cut out pass, my only concern is defending teams are becoming aware and will risk leaving a gap by going for the interception, that Wigan winger last Saturday on tv noticed the long pass coming and made the interceptions, it can work for or against you.

It didn't yesterday....
