I feel that there are big differences between the game against london and how were playing every player that was on the pitch would have been trying to protect themselves for injury so would at least be available for the final where as now they have no reason whatsoever to be performing in the way that they are if your seen any effort put in I assume your glass is forever half full. I do se a team that are underperformingg and players that are better than many on here would have us believe but I dot think that confidence can be a valid reason for our performances we according to some had a successful season last year we have improved in some areas and beat an nrl side so confidence should be at an all time high!!!!

I agree confidence would have been high after the Broncos game, but we have lost 5 in a row since then and I am guessing that morale has dropped with each game. Cas thrashed Leeds recently by 60 points and Leeds didn't capitulate from what I saw of the game. If the Wire players stopped trying you would see a big score put on the team, however we have lost our matches by 8 points, 10, 12, 14. Only in the last game against Saints was there a big points difference.
At the end of the day we don't know what is going on behind the scenes so it's all guesswork. There are plenty of rumours, but there always are when teams start to struggle. You may be right that the team are not putting in the effort, but my guess is 2-3 players badly out of form + missing key players early season + drip, drip of defeats causing fall in morale.
