Quote: Biff Tannen "Just out of interest what makes you believe we will win this? I know Cats got pumped by Salford but they are usually hard to beat at home otherwise and will see us as a big opportunity to get two points on the board. They have a big pack which we will struggle to neutralise with our powder puff lot and we tend to always have a tough time over there even in the good days.
Can't see anything but a Cats win and best we can hope for here is keeping it close.'"
Ok so I wouldn’t say this is a confident prediction, but...
1) in patches we have played quite well. We competed with London overall, a team who have beaten Wigan/Wakey previously (Wakey look good this season IMO), result could have gone either way.
2) the players might benefit from being away from the expectant glare of home fans, and being booed. Pressure is part of the problem and we’re playing as individuals too much.
3) if it’s a few degrees warmer it won’t do our overseas contingent any harm; may also help our skill level a little
4) blind optimism
