Quote: wrencat1873 "It's not the close defeats earlier in the season that will harm us. It's failure to beat the teams around us in the latter part of the season that COULD cost us.
Victory against Huddersfield and Catalan have put us into the dogfight to avoid the bottom 4 and victories against either Leeds or Huddersfield (or even Hull) will make us safe.
This is entirely in our own hands but, we need a performance sooner, rather than later.
Despite criticism on here for saying that Catalan and Huddersfield were in good form, only to be put down and told that neither side had beaten anyone decent, we seem to have sleep walked into a dangerous position.
We need to treat each of our last 3 games as MPG's (or cup finals).
Leeds will throw everything they have at us on Friday, as they tried to do at Cas in the early part of the game and we have to match them blow for blow until they break.
However bad we think our own form is currently, Leeds' is far, far worse and despite their new coaching set up, their confidence will be almost zero.
5 drives and a kick will do and let Leeds make the mistakes coming out with the ball.'"
Yeah, that's one way of looking at it! The point is, those games were there to be won as we competed well in them, but couldn't quite get over the line could we. Leeds at home, something like 8 in front with 10 to go and we lost. Cas at home over Easter, Hull away lost by a point. I remember people saying, we'll be ok because we play Catalans, Hudds, Widnes etc. But it's all history now, i'm quietly confident we can do Leeds on Friday, but if we don't, then it is real nervy times.....
