Do you really believe that?

yes, I believe we have several players who think they are of international standard that are only interested when we play the 'big' games and are completely anonymous when we play a lesser side.

Our form last July is a prime example: lost poorly at home to Wakefield, lost to top of the table Huddersfield but competed with them, then went to France and won a tricky cup tie, before losing to a poor Bradford team and then finally beating Warrington to get to Wembley. The players turned up for the games that mattered to them and lost the ones we would have been expected to win.

I went to support Richard Whiting today (and well done to all the fans who went)
all I can say is I was very disappointed in the ability and skill levels of all our players,
no idea in attack and no guts in defence
it's going to be a long hard season
good luck to Richard in his testimonial year

So who in the starting line-up would you say were non-tryers then ?

Shaul, Lineham, Crooks, Yeaman, Stark, Horne, Rankin, Watts, Hadley, Bowden, Thompson, Whiting, Westerman

So going on that theory, the CC final didn't matter to them?
