Leeds away. One of our greatest victories of all time on that ground.
Hull KR home. Short turnaround, always an emotionaly different game, Rovers had a real dig at ud, but we got the job done.
St Helens home. Best team in the comp, we matched them well in the first half, we gave them cheap possession by kicking the ball out on the full and the good team that they are punished us for it.
Wigan away. A bit of a flat performance by us, but even so we were still in the game for most of it, they took their chances better than we did on the day, maybe due to them being that little bit more crisper with their passing.
Catalans home. Dominated possession and territory early in the game, but couldn't register points, got caught with two tries against us against the run of play, then put 24 unanswered points on them, then the players decided they'd won and put the cue on the rack. We composed ourselves again to take the lead with 2 minutes to go, and then a freak of a player came up with a big play for them.

Won 9 out of 25 home games since June 2018.
In those wins, 2 have been against Rovers and 1 against London when we were winning 34-0 at half time and were hanging on in the 2nd half
So basically we have only won a 1/3rd of our home games since June 2018, loosing 2/3rds? That is a very poor stat and ultimately damaging to the club in terms of regaining and growing the core home support.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Maybe, but two victories on the board, in a a fairly tough opening run of games, where we've only been able to manage having 5 players ever present, 6 with Lane.
In the next 6 games, we have Wakefield, Salford, Huddersfield, Rovers and Toronto. The first five favourites for the wooden spoon. On paper, a much easier run of games. We also play Wire at home. It certainly looks like an opportunity to put a fair few more points on the board. And if we can do well over the next 6, we'll be pushing at the top end of the table, where we wanna be. So let's see where we are then, before we press the panic button.

THAT sums it up.
Indeed it does but can we honestly see things changing quickly when we have seen this for the past few seasons now, when little if anything has changed other than players? I can't see much changing at all.

Well despite what I want to happen I can't imagine that Radford is going anywhere yet. So lets see what happens across these next 6 games. If we win 5/6 (or better) and start putting together some 80 minute performances then maybe we can reevaluate. 4/6 is the absolute bare minimum requirement from those fixtures. Anything less than that and the season is as good as dead and there will be not much point making a change until the end of the season anyway.
