Blind optimism doesn't turn round poor form either, good coaching , sound tactics and alot of effort does. I dont think we'll lack the the latter but the 2 former seem to be missing.
Yet the same coach and tactics got us to last years grand final. The simple difference between last season and this is no James Graham - Simple as. You can argue that our current props are not good enough. I disagree, Saints fans unfortunately have been comparing our current props to Jammer. No prop in the world will stand up to that comparison. The props simply need to realise that they need to do more hard work to compensate because we no longer have a machine playing prop every week for 80 minutes. Once they get used to doing the work form will improve. There isn't a team in the world who would have struggled with the loss of Jammer, regardless of who they then signed as a replacement.
