I think we are playing much smarter than other years actually, we have previously, mentally and physically put everything into every game in the past, giving us long winning streaks early season. these have, admittedly, brought us 2 cup wins but from that exact point onwards we have folded and given up, mentally and physically drained.
I agree when we have coasted into games we have been hammered and that isn't acceptable, but we can win the games we need to and are just now coming into our best form. Wire, I feel, have hit a wall, playing at 100% and now losing, and morale is maybe on a spiral downwards. Hull coming to the crest of a wave now at the business end of the season.
Saints are much better than anyone else atm anyway and can win without going all out.
I'm more confident than other years.
What's impressive about Saints is their consistency. Even their weaker performances have actually been pretty good performances by other teams standards. But I don't think their A game is that far ahead of everyone elses A game. If we play our best rugby when we meet them I think we can turn them over, and I think Warrington and perhaps even Catalans and Cas will feel the same way. Hull blow hot and cold, and the way we have downed tools at times really isn't acceptable for a professional team. But ultimately those blow outs won't mean anything if we make the top 3. In the playoffs its all about who performs on the day.
