Re: Huddersfield Game : Sun Aug 16, 2020 9:59 am
In a season like this there will be disruptions and loss of players due to covid unavailability / lack of match fitness catching up with them so I'm less bothered about what it looks like, it's more about hanging in there and picking up wins.The harsh truth which was apparent even before the season is, despite the overblown bluff that KF puts out and some fans fall for, we are not a well balanced squad that looks like a SL winning squad. There are too many positions where we have question marks and too many players who are biggish names, and who fans think are better than their performances justify.
But last year these problems were here too and we scrapped our way over the line in the Challenge Cup and beat Saints at Wembley. My main hope for us is that we can scrap enough wins to make it to the playoffs and then this year, given all the random luck that will affect this season, it is more likely to be true that "once you get to the playoffs, anything can happen", whereas usually its "once you get to the playoffs, only one of Leeds, Saints or Wigan will be left standing at the end."
