You might think it stupid but it isn’t remotely unique.
There are loads of sports in which the Champions are determined in a season of scheduled fixtures followed by a play-off series and final, and it happened way before Sky existed, including for long periods in our sport.

Reflecting on last night's performances, very clearly Saints faster,sustained levels of intensity throughout the game both offensively & defence.Injuries aside, are there issues regards our conditioning? or simply to many players who've been around the block to many times?

Conditioning and Coaching are the problem. Give our squad to Holbrook or Price, or dare I say Smith.They would perform better consistently .

I think you added 'defence' by mistake Jake
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the (Dark) Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

He added defence to be polite . We need a change to reach the top level. Saints and Wire squads on a par with ours. What is the missing ingredient? On our day we are more than a match for anyone. Why are we so bipolar? Last night was 1 v 3 in the table ! No way should we be getting beaten at home like that ! Squad nearly at full strength. The side seems to have no belief when we play the sides above us . For me , that is down to preparation.

I guess if you're the kind of person who just accepts averageness then it's ok to laugh it off but some of us actually want to see our team at least be competitive
