What's arrogant or juvenile about being able to identify when the team have entered a game with the wrong mindset? Or are you saying the team didn't turn up with the wrong mindset? If so, I'd like to know what evidence you saw on Friday of a team putting their all in and mentally prepared for a battle. Or, is it that we're not supposed to talk about any poor performance/attitude from our team?

As for there being another team on the park, as I said earlier, despite Leeds poor attitude, they still weren't played off the park, although Bradford certainly wanted and deserved the win more on the night. However, Leeds turning up with the attitude they did to that game wasn't brought about because of how Bradford played on the night - as I've said earlier, it was evident right from the off.

Attitude:

3 semi final teams going into this week on the back of a win.

The other..... Hmmmmmmmm.

Spot on and the other team could and should have been top of the League on Friday night.
Not sure if it is attitude or performance that has resulted in the result or both maybe.
Maybe next time the players should let the supporter`s know how they feel before the game and we could have stayed at home and watched a decent game on SKY or better still Corrie.

Last year the week before losing to Hudds in the cup we beat Bradford in the league with a pretty much full strength line-up of

Hardaker
Watkins
Ablett
Moon
Hall
Sinfield
McGuire
Leuluai
Burrow
Peacock
Achurch
Delaney
JJB

McShane
Kirke
Bailey
Clarkson

I don't really recall many saying afterwards they were glad we aimed for the 2 league points and how important it could be to our final playoff position. More the case of we should've rested guys for the more important game. We also won comfortably yet the 'confidence' from that win didn't show up in our showing against Hudds the following week. We also got battered by Hudds 48-24 in the last game of the 2012 regular season (and they played most of the game with 12 men).....we then put in arguably the best playoff showing by any team.

You get my drift.

I am sure we would, if you were actually comparing like for like. You are comparing apples with pebbles though it seems. Did we have a run of poor performances before either of those losses you talk of?

Here we go again. Harking back to the past.

Sounds just like tvoc speak - a fellow member of the mutual back slappers club

I think you will find it was the hands and not the minds that dropped the ball so often - which was the main reason we lost.

The mind controls the hands.

I'll consider that a compliment then. Considering how much further up the ladder of credibility tvoc is in relation to you.

Credibility and good judgement and not words that combine easily with Gotcha
