Just take a look at leigh centurians fixtures from 2016 and you will see that they lost the opening fixture to batley then went on to thump Oldham then just edge london at home by 4 pts they then drew away at Bradford and followed that fixture with 8 point winning margins at home to Sheffield and away at Halifax, if you follow their fixtures throughout the season they found themselves in tight fixtures and fair enough they tonked a few teams but look how they breezed through the "8"s , so some of the gloom from us (me included) may be unwarranted and disrespectful of this division, just a thought.

A good thought though. |

Leigh's 2016 results:
https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/2016-fixtures-results/
If my quick count is right teams got within 10 points of them 12 times in their 23 championship fixtures.
The two teams who have pushed us close have won their other games. There's clearly areas we need to improve on, but it's still early days.
I think some of the anxiety is a hangover from last season, when a sense of anticipatory despondency set in. Every time we win, 2016 gets buried a bit more deeply. Also, while London and Rochdale pushed us hard, ultimately we held on when last year we invariably crumpled in an exhausted heap or just capitulated. Now let's do Oldham - we owe them one after all! |

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

We're a full time team being run on an SL basis.
I have massive respect for all the other clubs in our division but IMO we have one chance to get out of this situation.
We need to kill everyone.
Kill them.
Kill them dead.

Goose. The thread title is Perspective, not lose all Perspective as in your case.
Forgive the analogies, but I know we have so far just shot Bradford in both bum cheeks, yanked off London's bell end and kneecapped Rochdale. 
Rugby League is reckoned to be undergoing an existential crisis in this country. We are right to take a more humanitarian approach at this early wintry stage of the season. We can aim to eviscerate and disinter our opponents and scoff their remains in our new gourmet pies when the weather is warmer, the pitches are faster and drier (except in Gtr Manchester).
So  |

Your observation is a timely one for me at least. Its easy to say Rovers should be hammering all and sundry but as we are seeing Championship clubs are no mugs. They are battle-hardened and want Rovers scalp. I actually see this as a positive because it will hopefully keep Rovers honest throughout the season. |

For me this is an accurate and realistic perspective |

This was us through 2015. Big SL club coming down. Huge payday for the Champ clubs. And an opportunity to knock you off your perch! A lot of the Champ teams will be tough to beat as we found out as did London. You will too. Trick is to keep going and then reinforce the team for the 8's. Something we failed to do really. Even tougher this year though with the emergence of Toulouse and the grit or Rochdale, neither Workington or Whitehaven had that last season. |
