Its the way the players seem to switch off after 15-20 mins gets me. Its almost as if the players think "right we've done the hard work we can sit back now." Teams like Halifax really seem to want to take games by the scruff of the neck and not let go until the game is finished. We seem to only ever want to do the bare minimum to get us through games. 3 games in a row now (Leigh, Doncaster and Batley) we build a lead and then let them come back at us. Ok it didn't cost us in 2 of those games but the better team will punish us if we don't play the full 80mins.
We were decent in patches tonight but quite a bit went wrong to take the shine off the performance. 12-6 in the 2nd half against a side who had conceeded 130 odd points in their last 2 matches was very poor IMO.
