To say we fell to pieces because of the pressure of a knock out game is ridiculous.
Challenge cup QF is not a must win game. Pressure isn't what beat us, we were poor and got beat by a better side on the day.
Sure we'd have wanted to win it, I'm not disputing that but to say we lost because it was knockout rugby is laughable.

a necessary tactic Daryl Powell learned when playing at sheddingley and particularly effective when playing against whinos brand of ever so slightly off side at the play the ball Rugby League.

Should be interesting if we get a home semi in the playoffs.

2nd place and a home playoff game wrapped up then.

So McDermott has thrown away 2pts in the league and so we are only 3pts clear and he has lost the semi to prove resting players unnessarily does not work. If we lose on Friday his decision last week will be idiotic.

It doesn't prove anything, nor did he throw the game last week either. If we win next week does that mean your post is idiotic, like you?
