Quote ="jaybs"I said this also a few weeks back, Londo06 may make references to the last 18 months, but that is a selective memory conveniently wiping out the great start to the season!
The way we were playing and it was against Top Clubs then when we have met the lower teams we have collapsed, there has to be something deeper than just a lack of confidence and effort from our players.'"
I would say that it was mental brittleness that means our slumps last so long, and that the players believed yes we can do something, and now have returned to the 2010 attitude which is simply no we can't. Get a body language expert in to look at the 2010 pictures and they would say the games were lost before we had double digits against us on the scoreboard. I think a Cas fan pointed out that it was acceptance under the sticks and no voice of leadership, no plans to counteract anything or bring some energy to the play, try something different, lets do this, come on guys lets play for pride, attack the same guy for five tackles and exploit him, but there was nothing like that.
We realise we have a relatively weak squad, but at least Wakefield and Crusaders play with passion.
