We started last season with Austin and Patton in the halves and won the first half dozen games (albeit not facing Wigan and Saints). We were also missing Currie however..............
The problem this time around is that other teams now know what to expect from Austin. It also means that Widdop will miss the warm weather training this month which was vital for getting the halfback combination to gel given how little time was available due to international duties.
We also played several teams that were either in freefall or transitioning. Currie being out the staring 13 actually made us better. when he came back he may as well not had been on the pitch.
I fear the worst this season, I really do and I think some our the P&B blinded faithful are in for a serious wake up call. We could have signed cooper Cronk and Thurston, it doesn't make one jot of difference playing the style Price wants with the players we have.
