In my opinion we played above our level in the last 2 seasons especially the last. Our performance in the play offs was a true picture of the level we where at. On Price he had our defence performing good but in attack we were more dangerous from our own 20 than the opposition 20 and over his reign we got steadily poorer as a team and squad, what we did sign were lots of decent halves but the pack became reliant on Hill and Cooper to lay a platform for Clarke and the halves to work on. 

I'm not sure it's fair to ignore all the strong results and judge us on a bad one. Last year was possibly our best under Price (apart from the disappointing cup semi and playoff game), from memory we were best attackers in the league and defence decent. But we still had an inherently negative style which was probably our biggest challenge. 

In terms of last year's squad, in reality we lost Mamo and Hill - replaced with Matautia and Harrison - that should have been good enough to remain competitive, although im not a fan of Matautia in the slightest. 

I think it's unfair for people to keep saying we had all sorts of issues and problems and ignoring the good finishes.
