Quote ="ThePrinter"That's the thing though, you don't really have to lift this squad of players for the big games because they naturally lift themselves (as any team should do for the biggest occasions). It's when you have to go away to Wakefield on a Monday night, a few weeks short of a CC Final and Belle Vue seems a million miles comedown compared to do-or-die matches at Wembley and Old Trafford and minds may not be fully focused that the coach has to step in and make sure we approach it right.'"
On the contrary, I think there's a realisation that you can switch off for some games without having any sort of detriment to your season at all, some games are nothing short of a training session and the financials are still largely unaffected.
As a management team they have just about got the whole of Rugby League as a business, well under control, its probably as well a run Rugby League business as has ever existed at all.
