Despite the suggestion being scoffed at that our close defeats to Saints can derail us for a few games, I feel that is exactly what has happened to Hull KR.

I had a feeling this may happen, as giving your all in a game, being in the ascendancy and generally in control, only to lose must not only have you scratching you head but have you questioning your abilities, and therefore eroding some of your confidence.

Yes if you're a soft team.

If Saints lose 24-22 to Leeds I bet they won't go on a four game losing run.

I can see where your coming from with that.
I think it's a combination of the shattered confidence you suggest and a physical 'hangover', in that it is very hard to push your body to that limit on consecutive weeks.
As Sally said, if you fully believe in yourself, it probably has a lesser effect on the confidence, but if you give everything you have and lose, you do question "How do we win, then?"

The trouble comes when you've lost two on the bounce and you really begin to question if you have what it takes to kill a game off. If it gets to three or four, it can be difficult to climb out of a rut.

KR got great field position against us by getting in quick plays of the ball. Huddersfield when playing well don't let you do that this year

Lets hope the same thing applies to Cas

We lost to KR at MM but we still kept up the pace. Mental toughness is what's needed

Weak people need not apply

2 games last night...hull kr lose at hudds...cup hangover?...salford lose at the pies..cup hangover??..cas and wire...lets hope for a treble....

Wigan are just generally better than Salford.

Yes we had a hard game last week and i have no doubt it's left it's mark but i think TS has installed some mental toughness in this team and it will be shown tonight by beating Castleford.

Are Hull KR a soft team?
