Our poor form has caused people to worry unnecessarily imo. There is still a big gulf in class. We can afford to rest the likes of Pryce, Minichiello and Houghton and still win pretty easily.
Wakefield, Rovers and Salford will all win without getting out of 2nd gear too.
The best we can hope for in this situation is a good performance without busting any players, no good racking up a shed load of points if we pick up needless injuries trying to get invovled in a war of attrition. Play smart, use our fitness/speed and know-how to bully them from the off and hopefully their heads will go down and the 2nd half is a more about making sure the players aren't overly extending themselves..

I get your point, but this blase over confidence is misplaced. We should not take this for granted. We are not playing well, we are bottom 4, and we could lose.

It's not overconfidence, it's squad rotation. We have 32 players in our squad (I know they are not all currently available) and they are all supposedly Superleague standard. We are coming off the back of the Easter period, we have two vital home games coming up and we have some guys who to me look like they need a break. I don't want wholesale changes. We can afford to rest a handful of guys as long as the ones who do play turn up with the proper mindset.
If we lose I will be the first to admit I was wrong, but I don't think we can lose. I expect a win by 40+

Maybe, but Wakefield and Halifax are 10-10 on 33 minutes.
