If you are expecting a pre 2007 saints team in the first 5 matches of 2013, just because Brown has taken over then I think that's unrealistic expectations.
From what I have seen, Brown is trying players out all over the park, to try and bring some balance back to this team.
As a squad we are still heavily imbalanced from previous signings, but Brown is looking beyond the label and actually trying to put players into positions where they will be more effective.
Lets not forget Leeds are no mugs and are a champion side. For 2 sides scoring the same amount of tries, who had similar completion and territory I don't buy the all or nothing senario that gets peddled.
We are not the finished article, but neither were we a diabolical disaster.
I don't think Wheeler offered a huge amount tonight, but I was not suggesting he was the key, just simple that he was injured, we had to drop out and we just lost our focus as a team and lost the defensive steel we had had for the previous 55 minutes.
