I agree but you cannot get away from eight defeats out of nine matches is very poor. Covid, not playing everyone twice is continually referred to by teams not doing well. It was the same for everyone. It is often mentioned that we played Leigh three times by fans wanting to disparage our achievements. However they fail to mention that we also played Cats three times, the only team to do so.

Yes BH did start well but the sign of a good coach is how you deal with adversity.


No one is denying that our form has been poor over the past 9 games so not sure your point there. The loss of Connor from the injury sustained in a meaningless friendly certainly affected our form along with the stop/Start nature of the period over the run of those games. It’s also no coincidence we had gone into that period in a good position.

You say it’s the same for everyone, whilst other teams have been affected I agree surely the unbalanced fixtures point that it’s not actually the same. Yes you have played Catalans 3 times along with Leigh but also avoided St’s twice, Wire, Salford and ourselves. Do you not think it’s fair to say that has played a part and shows the issue of unbalanced fixtures? Not just in games missed/played but also in respect of teams having training shut down and very little prep time to then be playing teams who’d had uninterrupted training.

As for dealing with adversity is probably a little easier for someone who is familiar with a club and players than someone who’s new particularly when training is shut down at times as you can not get any continuity.

Yes we’ve been poorer than expected no arguments there however there’s no escaping this season has been somewhat of a lottery.

Pure guesswork, you could have lost them all. Similarly our cancelled games, Rovers (A), Warrington (A), Leigh (H), Salford (H) - we could have won all of them or lost all of them - though we were in good form before the triple cancellations between the two Huddersfield games.

Lets's all hope for a fully completed fixture list next year.
