Quote psychostring="psychostring"after Saints got their first try the heads went down and they just looked like they didn't want to be there.'"
As happened so often last year. But I think, as last year, it was more the manner of the first try. As last year, we started stronglyt (after the obligatory screw-up early doors) and applied loads of pressure. But never turned that into points. Then as soon as the opposition get the ball its down the park and in for a try. Heartbreaking. As last year. As at Hudds.
I suspect that its a huge confidence thing...and once you get the same circumstances repeating yet again, maybe the unbidden thoughts are "oh God not again" and confidence is shot? After all, if that was the thought going through most of OUR heads when Stains scored, would it be any surprise if it was going through theirs?
I felt we blew last season in the players' heads not in their bodies. Surely, surely that's where remedy has to lie?
