I’ll reserve judgement until the end of the season. If we get to November with empty pockets, I won’t be thinking ‘Price had a good patch in August/September so I’m happy’. It has to maintained at the business end.
That’s not to say I haven’t enjoyed watching us play some cracking rugby.
Exactly. We are having a purple pitch at the minute although I am impressed with our steeliness which wasn’t there before the COVID break & we seem to of unlocked our attack a little bit more. The rule change seems to have worked in our favour, even though in spells we look gassed we tend to be the fitter opposition and ride it out late game, finding a will/way to win will definitely bowed well come the business end of the season.
If we can go back to back Challenge Cup winners but without winning the Grand Final I suppose I would take that given the circumstances of this season... If we don’t win either I would be disappointed and if we win just the Grand Final I would be very happy, win both I’d be absolutely elated! ...Still a long way to go at the moment, the fixture congestion and possibly players going down injured/COVID could cause us problems later on in the season.
I’m just really hopefully we can keep this form going and can continue to win games, even if Widdop did end up leaving at some point this year I’d still be rather content to have Ratchford at 7 and Ashton at FB. I’ve be been really impressed with the likes of Mamo, Walker and Davies they’ve stepped up... even though they’ve seem to have ‘lesser roles’ in the team they’ve really pushed on and staked a claim for more minutes/starts it’s really pleasing to see. Really hope Mamo gets a new deal be a shame to lose him at the end of the season when his contract is up.
