Quote El Diablo="El Diablo"Hmmm. A thread of some interesting opinion, and some entertaining personal tiffs.
I do think the tendency to overreact to games like last week has been persistent for a while. that said, I think the coach took a gamble by loosening the reigns for the Bulls match. If he'd got away with it you could argue it was a good decision, but he didn't and looking at the league table those two points could very well be vital when it comes to the play-offs, given how little separates 1st from 6th at the moment. Without being disrespectful to the Bulls, those were 2 points we should have taken.
It's not the end of the world, but I think there was an error of judgement involved here.
As for the semi final, we can compare to the week before the Hudds match in the Cup last year, we can compare results with the other 3 semi finalists. Doesn't matter though, all that matters is what we produce at the weekend. The prospect of a Leeds v Cas final, with both sides very evenly matched and in similar league positions is exciting, but we have to get there, and so do Cas. Saturday is a massive, massive game for us.
Win and most fans will largely forget about a league defeat to the Bulls, lose and the general mood will not be so good and the lost points will look like a very bad idea indeed.
To be honest I'm less worried about pre-semi eyes off the ball issues (it's happened to lots of teams for as long as I've been watching RL), and more concerned about the loss of form generally over the last few weeks. Time to see if we can get that form back again. We can still be a very good side when it all clicks. Question is, how easily can we turn that back on?
Oh, and I think G1 and Gotcha just need to hug it out. Bring it in for some of the good stuff. Dial up the bromance. Whatever.
What were we talking about?'"
