Quote: Mr Snoodle "They are not kind opening fixtures in my opinion, they are the type of fixtures that we have typically gone in to with a complacent "yeh, we'll win this one, no problem" attitude, only to come out the other side with our tail between our legs and wondering where the next win will actually come from.
Wigan, Cats, Saints, Hull would have been better i reckon, more chance of us getting up for the game and performing at a higher level, and hopefully breeding a consistent perfomance, and more importantly, match day attitude.
Powell needs to get them thinking that every game is a cup final and be targetting to smash every team from minute one - anything less and i reckon we're in for another miserable season.'"
Isn’t the whole defence of last season that it was to change this culture though, of treating so called smaller teams differently. So it’s a perfect run of games to evidence that the lessons have been learned. If we had Saints, Wigan, Catalan, Leeds in the first 4 rounds there would be too many variables/excuses to make a definitive decision on whether on not the team is progressing.
No excuses for me 2 games that we should compete in, 4 that we should win.
