We've been much better than I expected but I do worry that we looked devoid of ideas in that 2nd half yesterday. Hopefully just a game too far and we'll be better next week then have a couple of weeks to recover before we start again. We also have to remember that the bulk of our home games come towards the back end of the season so if we can pick up more away wins then actually start to win some at home we should be well placed for a real tilt at a play off place.
The league is very tight though and a couple of losses could suddenly see us sat in 9th.
We've also not played Salford. If they don't go bust i wonder what they will do about their results and the loop fixtures
If Salford go bust then the only fair way to do things is void every result against them and deduct any points already won.Loop fixtures have already meant some teams will play them 3 times which is a bit of an unfair advantage over the rest of the league. But it would then throw up a counter argument that any team who didn't have Salford as a loop fixture then would have had a chance at an additional 2 points that somebody such as Rovers/Leeds would have had taken away.
Salford really have made a bit of a mess of the league this year. Gifting Saints a +80 point PD in game 1 could be crucial late on in the season for playoffs/top 4/whatever, in a league that is currently so tight (4 teams on 10 points but their PD is so much better)
