Quote ="Scarlet Pimpernell"No it doesn’t, if we are relegated we have only ourselves to blame. We have had many chances in games to pull away from relegation but sadly we failed in every single one.
It’s no use trying to look for a conspiracy to cover our obvious short comings both on and off the field when there isn’t one. This is a self made crisis which I think many saw coming over the last few seasons exasperated by a bunch of below par signings, many brought in to pad out the squad with the smallest amount of outlay.'"
I agree with you on this. We shouldn't be in a position where we are worrying about whether Leeds will beat Toulouse just to keep them behind us. We should be worrying about why we haven't done enough to make this game a non-starter in the relegation battle.
Based on form and the teams fielded against us:
Leeds (H) - we should have won but didn't turn up
Castleford (H) - we should have been close, and pre-game had our best chance of a win than in any other recent meeting
Huddersfield (H) - we should have won but didn't
Salford (A) - off the back of 2 wins on the bounce there is no way that we should have been destroyed as we were
Toulouse (Magic) - a 16 point half time lead and then an utter capitulation
All those games were winnable with the right attitude and we could be in the top 6 right now, but we spectacularly failed on every occasion. So now we're left worrying about what team Leeds are taking to Toulouse. It's about time our own players took a look at themselves and said "we're still in the box seat going into this weekend and we hold our destiny in our own hands" instead of worrying about what Toulouse may or may not do.
