Difference is though that last year Leeds cheated us to win. They played dirty and then broke the rules to stop us taking it at the end (remember McGuire injuring himself and Clarke saying "gods of rugby" etc and Peacock coming out claiming that Carmont stamped on him despite the fact that he actually just got tackled off the ball and McGuire fell awkwardly like the cheating scumbag he is).
This year, however, Saints outplayed us you didnt cheat to win you just plain beat us fair and square. Maybe the Charnley decision was wrong. After all if the ref says he was tackled then dragged over then its Saints fault and the try should have been given or we should have had the penalty (I'd say penalty tbh) we still would have lost anyway.
Those blaming the CC are having a laugh it was almost a month ago now. If professional sportsmen playing one match a week havent recovered from that then they shouldnt be professional sportsmen simple as that.
I think they have recovered physically I think the problem is a mental problem and I think that being beaten on Sunday may sort them out and bring them back fighting. If it doesn't then we will be punished by a Catalans side playing to their potential and beyond.
