Quote: DHM "What confidence do the reigning SL and World Club Champions acquire from beating Wakefield that they couldn't get from beating Manly?'"
By that logic why can't Lee Smith recapture his confidence and form from winning the Harry Sunderland trophy in 2008?
A winning run that gets all the players into positive habits is just as important in restoring confidence as reflecting on collective past achievements. The defeats to Wigan and Warrington will probably be looming larger at the back of the players' minds than the WCC at the moment.
