I think this part of your post nails it. That’s my point. I think you’ve ended up making a bad situation actually better than it was before.
In terms of Friday it’s hard to say why we were off. Salford slowed the ruck down massively, Kendall absolutely hammered us with pens and 6 agains and I do agree that the players may well have had an eye on this week.
Whenever we have a week off we always struggle and it was the case this time. Walmsley and Knowles had their worst games of the season (bar that try saver from Knowles in the last minute)
Matautia was gassed too although he’ll come on from that performance and another weeks training.
Of the two teams Wigan look fresher now which seems daft after our week off and are certainly the more in form of the two.
