Quote: Uncle Rico "Everything is rosy on the back of a big win and rightly so, let's enjoy our victory an excellent performance from 1-17 particularly bearing in mind that it probably wasn't everyone's first choice team. Let's not get too cocky and forget the start we made under Powell and what happened after it.
However, Burgess and his coaching team seem to have a very different approach to man management and the playing team look like they have bought right into it and are playing for each other. They really seem to be enjoying their rugby and with that comes trust that they are all pulling in the same direction and long may that continue.'"
Yes totally agree. It's good to see a Wire team put in a performance like that. Their faces clearly show they are enjoying every bit of success, and after all the work they get through, why not ?
But Saints were diabolical. Last tackle kicks going straight into touch, Lomax with his foot over the dead ball line, kick off's not going the 10 yards, Wood getting a great attacking pass ( - from a Saints player), Walmsley dropping the ball and having a paddy. It was all a bit 'wrong time of the month" from them. Nice to see though if you are the opposition.
I am not saying we were average. Williams, Ashton and Harrison had great games and deserve the plaudits. Add to that a low number of errors plus a lot of set completions and there is much to be pleased about. But I suspect we are currently over-achieving, particularly if you consider we have had key players injured or suspended since the start of the season. At some point we will inevitably get turned over, but until then we can justifiably sit back and wonder what sort of magic fairy dust Burgess has sprinkled over the squad.
