I think I prefer starting poor and finishing strong, instead of starting well and then dropping out of the game. Individual errors hurt both ways of playing though.
Wigan missed a lot of chances first half and we still let them back in the game easily. Our kicking game was basic and the forwards competed fairly well but our three-quarter line was rubbish. Tindall tried but isn't up to scratch, Olpherts looks like a mistake waiting to happen, MacDonald didn't really get involved for me, and that leaves one more who missed two tackles that led to tries and bombed the chance for a winning try.

Yes. Gave me belief too. I remember sitting in the Supporters Club after that game with no doubt whatsoever that we would beat Wigan the following week and get to the GF. I can't recall ever being so confident about a game.
