Honestly, 5 matches into the season its really hard to pin point the factor/factors that have helped us "turn this apperent corner" (not forgetting we are ONLY 5 games into the season). Dont go placing bets on premierships or kiwi starting positions.
Obvious factors: New halfback which amazingly doesnt have to be first receiver ALL the time.
Kicking game, not just down field or bomb to Manu.
Attitude, new year, new season. Positive mind set, clean slate, fresh thinking on Iro's part.
The Hart factor
Attack........sh*t never knew we had one of those, dont you love repeat sets of six. The Warriors got taught to grubber!
Forwards going forward.
Defense, sh*t notice how we arent jumping in panic with 2 forwards to help our smallest player tackle everytime thus leaving 1 sometimes 2 man overlaps having teams score a thousand points down one side and the centre,wing and sometimes backrower copping the blame.
Pressure to perform/lax attitude thinking you got it in the bag then being found out.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
We seem to be playing footy as a team so far AFTER 5 ROUNDS.
The thread topic is does Ives stay or go?
The answer is stay, you would be an idiot to fire a coach (unless your Ricky at the Sharks) after 3 2 start with 2 away victories, nice way to bring the negative approach back, in it?
And plus what would it prove?
