It's interesting to see the big difference in our team spirit, which seems to have grown and grown over the past weeks.



Is it just me or did anybody else absolutely love the cries of delight and whooping from the likes of Andre Savelio, Joe Cator, Mahe Fonua, et al when we scored (or just bundled a player into touch) last night? Such a contrast to what we saw earlier in the season and I believe that spirit makes a massive difference to our performance. Keep it going, boys!

Confidence is massive in RL and winning 5 of the last 6 has done wonders. You can tell the squad actually enjoy what they are doing instead of going through the motions



Saviello and Cator have brought a real bounce and energy to the team as well.



Splitting Taylor and Sataes stints is a masterstroke too, for me Satae has being immense since the restart

I think it shows up in plays like Griffin and Faraimo forcing Ratchford in goal and Fonua wanging King over the sidelines. Great to see.

I agree with all the above.



Worth looking at the slow move of our defence leading to Jake’s try.



Kick placed perfectly under their posts and we timed our tackle perfectly to ensure we didn’t tackle the player in the air, drive the player back and then Jake’s 1 on 1 ball steal for the try.



Only a subtle change, but the return becomes tangible.

Just spat my coffee over my keyboard and screen. Had to read that part of your post a few times as the first time I read it as something completely different

There is a video on the clubs Twitter page taken behind the goal without any crowd noise or anything

and it really shows the passion in the players it's a a great watch.

That’s really good to watch and there was certainly some needle towards the end when Jake scored. Savelio certainly seemed to be enjoying telling his old team mates it was a try. Interesting to know which Warrington player shouted ‘F’ off to Sneyd as he about to take the conversion, the smile of Sneyd’s face as he took the kick was priceless.

Something has changed in our approach, but sports teams are weird beasts when it comes to morale. In other workplaces you always get a few hacked off or not bothered, but work still seems to continue. In sports clubs when they are having a 'peed off spell results show.



I think a bit of competition for places has helped though, mixture of Last not having as many favourites as Radford and short turnarounds between the games has meant pretty much all the squad have a chance of playing, only seems to be Bienek, Mantogo and Wynne not getting a look in and thats more due to not taking chances.

Impressive drop goal attempt near the end by Ratu.

I think the key to it was revealed in an interview Last gave.



As well as a huge emphasis on personal accountability, Last also ordered the players to concentrate on their own games and performances rather than everybody else's, making sure your own game was in order and doing all the little things asked, Last explained if everyone found they where doing their own job, the whole would take care of itself.



I thought that spoke volumes, for where we went wrong , too busy all griping about everyone else, and all downing tools or bickering due to teammates errors or mistakes



A result if this change is what we're seeing now, all backing each other rather than not

Good point. The players have also seemed to stop whinging to the ref about every decision. Fonua and Connor in particular were guilty of being more interested in what the opposition was up to earlier in the season. Its rare a player gets a decision overruled anyway.
