Team Mentality : Wed Apr 22, 2009 1:55 pm  

In his interview with the Courier (http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/local/H ... 5192047.jp) Shad Royston hits the nail on the head In years gone by, our achilles heel has been not turning up against the lesser sides, while it's been "OK" to push the big clubs all the way and be gallant/plucky losers. Now we are top dog, we have to really put teams to the sword as Shad says and give a statement of intent every week. There were glimpses of it against the Dons on Sunday but it showed how far we have come that even with 12 men missing one of our best attackers we still racked up some points.

Think you can see just how positive a side we are this year when we run nearly every penalty rather than taking 2 easy points. We back ourselves to score everytime. Cant think of us kicking a penalty except one on the half time hooter against Widnes.

IMO, we were complacent in the first half against Donny. They weren't the walkovers we expected them to be.
