Quote: Shifty Cat "I'm not sure how you can say that with such belief Khlav. We do make errors and give penalties away, but the other teams we play give more of both, even though most of the time we completely dominate possession, so more chances of silly handling mistakes etc. The top teams in SL make errors and give penalties away, it's the nature of the beast. I'd like to see the stats on errors and penalties we've made this season so far, to see how we compare.
We may turn in a poor performance and lose eventually, but then again we may not. From what I've seen so far, there's more chance of us going unbeaten than not. Apart from those 2 games in the mud at Featherstone, even when we haven't been at our best, the teams you mention haven't been able to live with us, especially when the second half rolls around. We're just so much more fitter, bigger and with better players than the rest of the teams around us and so we should. Sheffield got fairly hyped up going into first playing them, with us both being unbeaten and we've dispatched them twice now, easily. Most of the better Champ teams can maybe compete for the first 20 minutes, even the first half sometimes but the same seems to happen every game, we grind them down, make them work too hard in that period, they gas and then we take over.
Even though we've scored a lot of points this season, it's got to be said our defence and the way they all work for each other, even when we're 40 points up has been superb this season. You can really see that our defence is the foundation of everything we do and as long as that is working, the rest clicks into gear.
Tbh all the talk of going unbeaten is probably just something we fans think about at the moment. DP will have the lads grounded and not get too far ahead of themselves, taking each game as it comes, one by one. When the time comes near the end of the season if we're still unbeaten, I bet then it only becomes something that the team/coaches even think about. Ateotd as long as we win the stuff that gets us IMG points, that's all that really matters, everything else will just be a cherry on the top this season.'"
Sports throws up all sorts of results, take last season, there's no way Wigan should have lost against Trinity, but they did. Widnes following Wembley is a test.
Anyhow as long as we remain undefeated come the play offs, well then that is when it really matters.
