Because whether you rate the players or not they are to a man ‘better’ than the opposition today but they looked second best in every department, there is no way that team should be losing to a part time team, this to me suggests the issues run far deeper, it’s OK blaming Sinfield but he did say when he returned the issues are far greater than he thought, this will not be fixed within this season or next IMO.
As it happens it will be for the best that were not in the cup but my worry is todays loss could knock any small sense of morale they had out of them.
How they respond win or lose on Thursday is absolutely vital and will tell us alot about this group of players
