And the trough has been the less than convincing performances over the last few weeks and the opposition we have come up against, if we are not over that by now then like I said the S&C need to take a serious long look at themselves.
Like you said, training will no doubt have adapted post WCC, possibly more rest days than normal but it's time to move on from it, get back to the regular season and stop talking about 'hangovers' the only hangovers the players should have now is from the beers they drink post games

Go onto a Saints board from last season. I know they travelled to oz for the game, but they lost games that we have won this year post the WCC. From memory they won the 1st game back and looked pretty good in that but then lost the next 2 or 3, before winning a couple prior to us dominating them on Good Friday. I'm pretty sure there was lots of talk about lethargy post the WCC and that theme ran throughout the season

Yea mean I joke about Wigan jet lag but it did seem to hamper saints and then not having the massive depth really snookered them last year. I think we are coming out the other side of the WCC, I think the majority of the drag on has been coming down from that win to play the likes of London away, it doesn’t compete. I think once we get a few injured players back we’ll be settled. Hopefully faz will get a week off soon

I’ve a feeling Field won’t play today , especially if the rain continues this morning . He’s carrying some sort of niggle and I don’t think he will be chanced if the conditions are going to be heavy

I’m sure that would be last resort really. If that’s the case French FB and rocky in the halves. I’m interested to see what Eckersley looks like a FB but not in this game

I keep checking the weather forecast, it's gone from light showers all afternoon to chucking it down 3 till 5, typical !!!

Nice and sunny at the min here

Flat battery means I won't be seeing the game live.

So either NowTV pass, or watch down the pub.

Saints are the best team so far, this could end in tears if we don't wake up

Good lord, this ref is desperate to give them 6 points isn't he.

20 mins in

error, penalty, error, penalty etc etc

Need to wake up soon. Luckily for us, Saints have no invention whatsoever and our defence is dealing with it so far despite us giving them multiple opportunities

How has he not been binned for that blatant trip?!?!

Well, whatever happens, Saints certainly can't blame the ref.

Same reason they didn't give a tip tackle on Wardle, the high shot on Miski or how he gave a pen against us for a Saints knock-on - he's absolutely bent AF.

Scary that some people just don't choose to believe it. He's an absolute scum bag.

Sort out our discipline and we can do this.
