The players and personnel might change, and arguably their quality might improve. However a few times a season they simply don't turn up and are suitable humbled as a result.
Laurent couldn't come close to solving it and despite Challenge Cup winning credentials, neither can Steve McNamara.
But rather than pontificate about our terribleness, I want to say well done to Salford and that I hope their travelling fans had a wonderful time.
