Where to start on this one eh? To be honest there is nothing more than I can add to a what we wrote on a number of occasions last season.
When it comes to big games away from home, this team doesn't have the ability to compete, let alone win.
The players may change, as had the coach, but the level of surrender which we saw in the latter days of Laurent's reign is still very much alive.
I'd hoped that some of the players coming into the club would be able to affect a better attitude, approach and level of performance, but it seems that soft underbelly would be in effect, even under Wayne Bennett.
It's tiring having to endure capitulation after capitulation and we can make excuses until the cows come home. The fact is that the players and the coaches are responsible for this and are the only ones who can fix it.
Is this our usual McNamara out posting? no... at least he has had the courage to stand up and call his players out for their attitude. Now whether that's to save his job or not, I don't know.
The facts are that as with last season, that early year positivity has long since evaporated and with other teams starting to pick up their can be genuine fears about getting pulled into a relegation battle.
Catalans cannot rely on London falling apart or Wigan and Leeds staying rubbish to preserve their Super league status.
Over to you lads...
