Why do you think they'll collapse. What about them shouts that? Given they've played teams without key men and still whammed them. They put the best part of 70 on leeds without roberts or chase. Cas ain't going anywhere soon imo
We played salford as well. That's 2 friendlies and 7 games. Which is still slow getting up to speed.
But if you go back wembley was our last performance..But as a team performance if you break it down that wasn't actually that great. Semi v wigan in July was last time we've been really good with a complete performance. In the meantime loads of games with the same issues

Just watched SLS and there was some really soft defence particularly for Russell's first and Clark's try.

I'm exactly the same as Mrs B though, it's a coping mechanism. Drives my eldest barmy but as I say to him...I've seen us fook up so many times over the years, it's very hard not to look at the negative side when you can feel the momentum shift teams which is exactly what happened at Wigan & Wire.
