I think what we saw in the fax and Sheff drubbings at POR were the after effects of our boys titanic efforts against Cas and Wigan. There is no doubt that the lads were battered and bruised at that time and possibly got carried away with the hype.
Don't forget our guys are part timers and the effort put into stopping Wigan and Cas handing us our axses was immense.
Since then we have started to build slowly back to the team we were last year,with each of the last four games a noticeable confidence and self belief is returning just at the right time.
If you were to ask me if I was prepared to suffer 2 drubbings on home soil in trade off for dumping Castleford out of the Challenge cup and giving Wigan a fright,Then you BET YOUR LIFE I would because this is a marathon not a sprint and we have the rest of the season to put those drubbings right.
DP is the best Coach in this league by far and seldom has got his strategy wrong and I have total faith in him to lead us onto bigger and better things this season.
We have the mighty Fax coming up this week and this one is gonna be a humdinger because to mind we are still hurting from our last encounter and the lads have a point to prove to the Fev fans and themselves.
Nothing short of a very convincing win will do in my opinion at the Shay,if that happens then I think the rest of the league better get ready because the Fevolution will be back on track.
I am happy to play underdog to the league leaders Fax because that I believe is where our motivation will come from going forward,Im happy to be reminded of the 60 point drubbing and I hope DP uses that as the driver for the rest of the season.
Any fight I have ever won in life has been when the result was supposedly a certain loss for me..
Come On You Cappers....
