Getting Wigan away on Easter Monday was the last thing we needed and with a lot of injuries we couldn't even bring in fresh players. The outcome was almost inevitable, we kept it to 0-0 for 27 minutes but the energy ran out and then it wasn't a contest.
Would Huddersfield, Catalans, Salford or Widnes have done much better, I doubt it and I agree that we are in a 5 team mini league the prize being 8th place. Not saying we will come out on top of that group but certainly it is still all to play for, we have 4 games left against those teams 3 of them at home.
The Saints game saw us lose McGuire, Lawler, Heffernan and Mulhern for the entire Easter programme to add to Shaun Lunt and Danny Addy. It was bad enough going into the derby without that lot but to back up on Easter Monday at Wigan really was too tough.
The good thing I suppose is that Wigan away is a probable loss anyway and in the circumstances we may well have lost to more modest opponents.
It's going to be tough of course it is but right now is a low ebb and there will be better moments for sure. If we do end up in the middle 8's I think we will be OK. London have been going great but with much the same team that couldn't live with us last year.
As for Sheens I do wish that those who criticise could spend 10 minutes in his company they would soon change their minds.
