It seems that there is still no one taking us too seriously outside of Hull. Is this unfair on us or are we getting carried away after a few wins against mid table teams?
A bit of both I think.
We've efficiently ground out wins and nobody can argue with 4/4. The teams we have played have found it hard to look good against us as I think our gameplan has been sound each time.
On the other hand, no team is anywhere near its best at the moment and I did think Huddersfield were especially poor against us, our defence has looked a little to easily breached at times for my liking and we've squandered a lot of territorial advantage by not turning into a convincing lead which we will need to learn to do if we are to mount a serious challenge.
On the whole I'm satisfied with the start we've made but I'm hoping that our attack begins to gain some fluency soon. In particular I hope we start to use Calderwood better (long kicks and pass to him , yes Graeme Horne I'm speaking to you!) and start to use Manu a lot wider.
Our forwards as a unit have impressed me so far this year. They look a bigger, meaner lot. Richard Horne has also impressed with the speed he has got back to SL rugby.
