I think the most important question we need an answer to is:
Was Trent Barrett that bad a coach, that even a mediocre coach like Mick Potter could improve the play of this roster so drastically?
I've been thinking the same thing. Has Potter just released shackles off the players from the Panther style play that Tbaz was so obsessed with, that the same players can finally show that they are good footballers without worrying about sticking solid with attacking shapes etc?
Whatever Potter has done, the players are fully buying into it and that in itself is a major plus
I love how animated players like Averillo are now and how they are finally showing some passion and enjoyment on and off the field. These guys have had the loser mindset for the last couple of years and they must be loving this new found confidence
I know I am getting my passion back watching the team now rather than the numb non engaged feeling I've had for the past couple of years
I think that Doggies fan that was going apeshit on tv after one of our tries sums up how most of us supporters are feeling
