Tbf a number of clubs have now had their bums bitten by London so bad as it was it could have been worse - we were set up for that game as we are against every promoted team, we were not meant to win and we obliged for once.
Set up or not, this Trinity side is plenty good enough to beat London and something was adrift, either in our preparation of application or both and IF we are serious about being a top 5 side, that isn't actually good enough.
I know that these things can be in the mind but, we have to be more professional and dominate any lesser sides.
All sides slip up at some point and Trinity have very often been the side to beat some of the so called "bigger clubs" but, we cant afford to "sacrifice" points against the likes of London (or Huddersfield) if we want to e challenging at the end of the season.
In the past, the likes of Wigan , Leeds and Saints have been able to field weakened sides or throw some of their juniors in and not worry if they get beaten in the odd game, knowing thet in the long term, they will still qualify for the play offs etc but, at this point in time, Trinity certainly cant "go easy" on anyone. We will need every possible point to make the play offs and hopefully, we will be able to start and accrue some big game experience, which will be vital if we want to progress to the next level.
We need to approach these games as though we are playing St Helens, rather than Huddersfield.
