I think why people are nervous is because of the previous 5 years and how we played very similar with similar flaws, the X game was just somewhat confirmation bias on our behalf I guess.
We are hoping for significant improvement and there were zero signs of any improvement in those areas even given the players available.
Hopefully the jlt with more of the best 22 out there can show some signs of improving ball movement, structure, tinkered zone placements, fwdline fuction and movement, kicking accuracy, ability of mids to spread into space.
Might explain why I reacted rather poorly to the X game concept. It was (for me) boring, but watching the Pies felt like Groundhog Day, with the notable exception of Aish (who really wasn't under that much pressure), and a special mention to the glorious young Stephenson.
But I'm not planning on running away to the Arctic Circle just yet, to avoid season 2018. Thursday night was a training run. And I've never really jumped off the Aish train, so if he continues in this vein I'll rush back to claiming him.
