Rhinos Keep Unbeaten Streak Alive!

With a draw and a win in last weekend's home and home series with Montreal the Rhinos unbeaten streak has soared to 6 in a row. What exactly happened with this team that started off with dismal performance after dismal performance and sank to the league's cellar? As impatient as myself and other fans may be, a big part of it may simply be Tilley's claims that the team was not fully fit and accustomed to playing together early in the year due to the uncertainty surrounding the team prior to this season. Added depth in the defense as players return to health has also been a contributing factor. Most importantly, however, was Tilley's ability to do what the Red Bulls have not, and sign useful players at the right times to lift the team. The signings have brought a new life to a team that was down, and with players returning from injury spirits are high and the team suddenly is in 4th place. What do you make of this change in momentum for the Rhinos? Think they can go on to win it all? The next few matches should be telling, because if the team can maintain consistency in their play they should be right there by season's end.
