Exactly.
Too many times in my 40odd years of watching, I've seen a "heroic defeat" (still a defeat), being followed up by absolute tripe. Next week is crucial to our season. Wigan are no great shakes, as are the rest of SL. Lose that, and last night's effort might as well've been a 20odd point thrashing.
The players have shown some gumption, which has been missing since April. We expect nothing less than 100% effort each week. Wether we get it, is another matter.

Foxtrot Oscar, Powell. Take several of your players with you.
I assume we started the season at full Salary Cap level. We are heading into another season of 5h1te, after last season's catastrophe.
The buck stops with him.
Go.
