Most Saints fans have been very happy with how we have attacked in the first couple of rounds of this year. Lots were critical of "Woolfball" particularly at the start of last year, but I think people are realising with Coote/Lomax/Fages a very structured attack was the way Woolf chose play, but now with Welsby/Lomax/Dodd theyre getting more freedom and scoring some really nice tries. Everything is built on defense and building the right structures, but I don't think any Saints fans I know of resent that particularly.
It’s still very entertaining in my opinion but different. I’m not sure Saints fans would’ve been saying that about a similar Wigan attack in that period from Maguire coming in, to the point Wane left but people find different things entertaining. Saints smash the life out of teams and pick holes in tired defences. It’s quite methodical and without much risk outside of the opposition 30 but there’s enough individuals brilliance to make it work and make it entertaining.
