No, what I meant was that attitude and the way you approach a game is massive. There isn't a huge amount between any of the teams in SL and you generally only get these blow out scores if one of the teams doesn't approach the game correctly.

oldham didn't beat you because they had better players it's because your team thought they only had to turn up and throw the ball about a bit to win, similarly, yesterday cas obviously didn't expect you to play as well as you did and got their just desserts

Well nice to see every body happy the next trick is to do it again and again please

Your right jake Oldham got turned over at Whitehaven this week and scored 11 tries at cas so it has to be down to attitude

Thanks Goose. Just listened to the title track from the album of the same name. Got me thinking about those " Coffee Shops " we walked by a few times last week in Amsterdam and the music coming out of a couple of them.

Blackbird, the music track reminded me a lot of Special Aka. A cross between Ska and Dub. Excellent. Will listen to the rest of it in due course.

FYI. I now get alerts on this device of mine of every new release on DapTone records.

Most people think it was a good performance, even the Cas coach admitted that! Of course the win was totally due to Cas' failings and nothing to do with how we played. If it makes you feel better to think that then good luck to you.

You are not alone in that attitude though. Go on Wigan's or Saints' pages after they suffer a defeat.

Was you sucking on a lemon when you posted that?

Yeah your the only team with injuries

We agree at last.

Attitude and mental strength are massive influencers on games

Just watching the tries back again, we could have signed a diamond in Minns, his little step and go for his third was quality, Thornley on the other side showed good strength.

Early, early days though.

All this season is going to be about is survival, encouraging number of Rovers fans there yesterday.

If you think it was good opposition you played that day ..good on you.
The fact is, that was the worst performance under powell.

Can only play what's in front of you and credit has to go to Rovers for making Cas have their worst game under Powell. Cas won't have come out intending to underperform, they were out enthused from the get go.

Who said you were good opposition? The result would suggest otherwise. Was your performance worse than your Wires' effort?

Not many sides will nil Cas in a half of rugby this season or score 58 points at MAH. Yes Cas played poor but massive credit to us for that. A good vocal following too as mention in the posts above. I expected a big response from the lads but did not envisaged that scoreline.

Just watch the tries on SL show some good scores cracking result, JP said you want to be gooder definetly getting gooder!
