could work either way!

Negative effect : players could get lousy throughout the week and start to lose concentration or maybe think that the two games should be an easy wins. could pick up injuries.

Positive effect : Players get to rest through the busy schedule, come back and be raring to go. Also get into terms where so close to where we want to be and getting prepared (Looking through tactics)

The extra time off, followed by a home game, with a winning team, must be good for us.

Certainly better than playing away after losing 5 on the trot.

Glad the break came after the Hull KR game and not after, now gives the team time to focus on the last two games and get rid of any knocks they had previous.

Spot on

Anyones whos watche Danny Kirmond over that last few games will have seen he's busted and needs a break.

Come at the right time for my money.

Something that seems to have been overlooked on here (or at least I've not seen it mentioned) is that we had a poor first half against KR and were lucky to go in at half time still in the game. We stopped doing a lot of the basics which enabled us to win the previous four matches. I'm not sure if that was a result of the effort that had gone in to the previous matches. It may have been down to this being like an early play-off game in that whoever lost was realistically out of the running for the top 8. Probably a combination of both. Either way hopefully the week off gives a chance to focus on getting back to doing those basics right.
