There's a kind of siege mentality that Wane has manufactured well, at least looking from the outside in anyway.

Folk say we havent played well since Wembley - we were fairly awful for the first hour of that game too. I would strip it even further back and say we have ben a shadow of ourselves since the Wigan semi. That was the most brutal game of the season by far.

We took 6,300 to Leigh on a Saturday afternoon live on SKY against a London team with no support and no chance of progress to the final. It was a sure thing - we won 70-0.

You could argue that it's poor, but it's about normal. If we had played Saints at Leigh it would have been 14-15k on allowing for their similar sized support.
