| So have we?
I will be first to say yes I think we have, I openly asked for LR to go, but recent results, and the manner of them would suggest we are on an upward trajectory.
I know KR has players missing but that was dominant, powerful, creative rugby.
Best game performance I've seen for some time, the fact it was KR was just a bonus.

| Yes, I think that is definitely the case. What's that now, 6 from 8 or something like that?

| The best thing about this win apart from the dominance, we were actually exciting to watch.
Price and Sneyd are playing really well together. People moaned that we paid £100k for Sneyd. But that's what it took to secure a proper 7s services and I believe it will prove to be money well spent.

| Theres still an awful lot to do before this season can be deemed a success, but the signs are really positive. I think that Warrington win and the confidence it gave us was a huge moment in our season.
I still have my doubts about Radford but for now full credit to him for taking the criticism on the chin and working hard to put things right.

Given how poor your form was before that, then it's a hair pin bend of a corner.

| Nah, just papering over the cracks
7 from 9 IMO means we have to stop doubting Radford and start supporting the bloke

| To early to say a corner has been turned, I think. We are still likely to be sat outside the eight after the Magic weekend. That said, things are looking much brighter than after the last derby.
Next Thursday is a massive game for us.

I agree.
I for one will be going back to home games after missing a couple this season due to the way we were playing.

| It's the kind of win that instills more confidence, which hopefully in turn gives us more edge in games rather than downbeat after a few losses.
5 wins from 7 in the league is a good starting point from whence to go forward.
Our attack was, let's be honest the worst in SL considering the players on the park.
So in terms of attack, it looks like we have turned a corner from the Warrington game and it's great for the fans to see so we have something to look forward to knowing we can score tries and good ones at that.
Maintaining the momentum is the key, making sure players don't go back into their shells when under duress during hard games when the chips are down is vitally important.
At this moment in time we can only congratulate LR and the players for turning it around, we all hope it continues in a similar vein.

| Yes.
This season started with some of the worst rugby I've seen FC play. We were abysmal. No clue, no idea, no effort.
The Castleford cup game was the start of a revival. Since then, we've started to look like a Super League club again. And that game against KR was a fantastic performance.
I'm still not convinced about Radford, but something has changed, because we look like we give a toss now. The players clearly have an understanding; the effort is there; there is a belief amongst the players.
We have turned a corner. Lets push on!

5 from 7 if we are comparing against the previous 2 wins from 8 in the league.
There's nothing wrong with having doubts, there's nothing wrong with having criticism's, you'll find if you look through the threads of the last several weeks maybe a couple of comments regarding player selection are all the criticism directed at Radford, bar none fans have said we've improved and look nothing like we were previously.
And actually papering over the cracks with shaky unconvincing wins WAS exctly that, our attack was dire, if it weren't for some great solid defence and some individual brilliance we'd have being fooked. Yes the results were inportant in those games we pulled out wins, some might even say fortunate but a win is a win.
However you can only get away with that so many times hence why fans were saying those wins were papering over the cracks, the cracks of our lame attack.
That's now (hopefully) being fixed, fans have more confidence going into games, we are applauding better structure and backing up, thoughtful rugby whereas before we just didn't have that by comparison add onto that more desire and you have what we have now.
Instead of the continuance of attacking fans/posters whom post their critical thoughts openly about how we've being (notice past tense) and Radford's inability to coach us over the last 18 months (& rightly so) why not stick to the here and now so we can all focus on discussing the improved performances and the usual minutea of following our team.
