OH DEAR!!!
Just got back and watched the post match interviews on Sky - PA said we were "emotional pumpkins" and lost our focus on processes etc... Well I did not see any emotion from the Giants tonight - agree with PA though with his other comment that it was all very embarrassing
. Someone else said that it was like watching Fartown 6/7 years ago - very true.
I just don't get how we can let ourselves down so badly like that - what is it about play-off games that seems to turn us in to a poor team overnight - when we can more than hold our own against any side during the regular league games home and away? We just do not appear to have the heart, depth of character, aggression, mongrel or whatever to raise our game when we need to in order to match what the likes of Wigan, Warrington, and yes Leeds do when it really matters.
Will be there again on Thurs/Fri praying for a miracle in that we can bounce back and still make the GF - but to be honest we really do not deserve it after that game tonight - very embarrassed and disappointed right now - but hey all will be forgotten if we can use this to motivate a proper response and create the right attitude in our next match(es).
I probably do still have some blind faith that we can do a hell of a lot better - but watching Fartown sometimes is painful - tonight was even worse than the loss at Hunslet - and that was truly pants.
