Was talking about our great start at work today. It is clear that our attacking game has taken a huge leap forward and Radford should take massive credit for that. Motu has signed some great players as well. But we were discussing today about how confident and mentally tough we have looked! We went behind against Salford and didn't panic, we were under pressure in the first half from Catalan and stood up, again when Pryce went to the bin. Is this what we have been lacking in previous seasons??

We didn't go behind against Salford. We haven't been losing at any point this season. However, I know what you mean and yes we look a lot more resilient. I think this is because we are confident of scoring when we have the ball and it breeds confidence in other aspects of your game

Yes my bad, I meant when they scored early we didn't panic. We just seem to be oozing confidence and it's great to see.

I completely agree! with the new signings we seem to have an abundance of composure too which has been missing since the Peter Sharp era.

Think we've recruited some good personalities this year.
Lots of leaders out on the pitch now.

Lots of visible camaraderie between players as well and it seems genuine.

All the early signs are really good, but we have had everything easy so far. The real test comes when we find ourselves 12-0 down after 10 minutes. Or when the scores are level with 20 to go and a couple of key players are forced off the field. Both games so far have been over as a contest by half time, you don't learn how tough you are until you go through real adversity.

Good point...

As I said after the Salford game the desire shown is different to that of the last few seasons, the team showed toughness at Cats when down to 12 so the mentality is there, let's hope we can show it when really under the pump.
Far too often the last 2 seasons games have being lost due to micturate poor mental fortitude

I think Cas will put us under pressure. They are still a good team under Powell. But your right, the real test will come when we go behind or lose players.
