How many teams have a big lead at halftime and a poor 2nd half you see it every week leigh did it today it's hard to keep it going and the losing team have nothing to lose so they raise their game

May be that's why we're mid table and average championship team.

It was a better result than I expected, I honestly thought Barrow might turn us over yesterday. No shock results elsewhere though so 6th spot still looks to be the realistic highest finish possible. I've read that the sliding scale for funding is approx 15k per position so I guess the club will be very keen to ensure its in our pockets rather than Sheffield.

As Kear said, if we accept that then we'll have to accept being a mid championship team. If we want to be a top championship team, we have to start being more ruthless.

For me it's an attitude. I'd love to see the stats for tries we've conceded in the first 5 mins of the 1st half or second half this year. It's like we're coming out not fully focused. We should have come out with an attitude they're not going to score a try that second half. 1st set they have, they score. Same again last week. Week before we come out against Swinton, we're 4 tries down before we've passed a ball in anger. Its sloppy IMO no good patting each other on the back at scoring a hat-trick when you've made 3 howlers to conceded 3 tries.
