I had this horrible feeling of an inevitable loss very time we played Leeds or Saints last year ... it would be nice to believe we can win a (few?) big games - that to me would be progress.
It's only one season ago that we had one thumping win, one draw, a narrow defeat and a Ganson-Klein production against Leeds. Over due a win against them at Odsal, mind.

IMO that perfectly illustrates that as a club we've gone backwards.
I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

Yes and put that in context - how many times have we played Leeds or Saints in the past 3 years ... I'm no stato but I think it's about 16 times and I can only recall 3 wins.
All I was saying is that for me to have confidence in what the coach is achieving at the Bulls I'd like to feel more confident when we come up against these 2 rivals

Which is what I have been saying for long enough. TBH, to expand slightly, it is the big game mentality of McNamara that is in question. Fair enough to say that Leeds and Saints are better than us but Wigan are not neccessarily, Salford in 2006 was a shocker too and it seems that he spectacularly fails when the going gets tough. (CC semi last year, Wigan play-off 2007 for example).
Glad to see you have caught up.
