A fan's perspective on Wolves' title-chasing campaign. Here, 'Spirit of 55' reflects on the performance of the first home game of the season - a 50-10 defeat of London Broncos at the new-look Halliwell Jones Stadium

STANDING behind the sticks in the West Stand gave me a great view of the filled-in corners, the seated corner in particular looking fantastic.

The team had got off to a so-so start on the road at Hull the week before, now we were waiting to see what sort of start they would make at home.

Two new players to cast an eye on, Waterhouse looks every inch the classy powerhouse he’s been regarded as in Australia for years.

Ratchford looks to be from a similar mould to Bridge and Grix, an all round rugby league player, capable of filling in for us in several positions.

Overall the team made several mistakes, far too many dropped balls, sloppy offloads and bad decisions – and I loved it.

It’s great to see a professional sport team in the modern era that seem aware of their duty to entertain the fans who pay their wages.

Any more entertaining than this and they’ll have to start wearing longer shorts, sleeveless tops, enter the field to ‘Sweet Georgia Brown’ and have it in their contracts that the opposition must play along with the entertainment and ultimately lose.

Before handing over my £20 to get in I did wonder whether I could spend that more wisely elsewhere - the long range tries that Ratchford and Atkins scored with help from Evans and Briers respectively were easily worth a tenner each.

The flick pass for Monaghan’s second try must have been part of a 'buy two get one free' deal.

Of course it’s frustrating when the ball goes to ground so often, but if you want a rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.

I’m sure the players know they’ll probably have to play better to beat the other top teams, but they also know that they are capable of scoring many tries against anybody from anywhere.

I for one am looking forward to my next opportunity to watch them.

Equally pleasing as all the entertainment is the spirit the team play with. Never once after any of the numerous errors was the offending player shunned by his teammates, instead they encourage him and assured him that they’ll all do their best to make up for his mistake.

They have turned the ‘Spirit of 55’ into a believer. Here’s hoping they keep believing all the way to victory at Old Trafford.
