This "unravelling" or lack of composure has been with us a long time
2012 GF Leeds 18 - 14 up with 20 minutes to go - lost 18 - 26 (capt Morley)
2013 GF Wigan 16 - 6 up with 31 minutes to go - lost 16 - 30 (capt Morley)
2016 GF Wigan 6 - 0 up with 25 minutes to go - lost 6 - 12 (capt Hill)
2016 CCF Hull 10 - 0 up with 20 minutes to go - lost 10-12 (capt Hill)
With the mental fragility still unaddressed we compounded that under Price with the inability to score points when it mattered ...
2018 GF Wigan we just couldn't score for 68 minutes - lost 4 - 12 (capt Hill)
2019 Playoff1 Cas - lost 12 -14 (capt Hill)
2020 Playoff1 Hull FC - lost 14 - 27 (capt Hughes/Hill)
2021 Playoff1 - Hull KR lost 0 -19 (capt Hughes)
In our 5 big games with Price we won 1 against Saints CC 18-4. The telling stat is that in all those 5 games we only scored a total of 48 points.
If Powell can fix the composure and attacking threat we will have a much better chance of success.
Those stats are a damning indictment. That '13 GF. A disgrace we lost that, after being 16-2 ahead. The moment Monaghan got injured, our players just stood, individually. Tomkins went and spoke to virtually everyone of his side. They neve looked back, from that moment on. The most frustrating game of my watching lifetime. We were like the proverbial rabbits in headlights
