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.

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.
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.
