Quote ="brook40"You really do talk rubbish,it's all superleague experience,doesn't matter who it's for, it's against the same teams we play.'"
When you get out of bed in a morning do you need written instructions telling you how to put one foot in front of the other? The important point here is NOT the fact that at Salford he's playing against exactly the same group of teams (except Salford) as he would be here. It's that he's doing so within Salford's frame of reference - which since I can remember has been one long chain of miserable failures stretching back decades.
Players routinely talk about a change in "mindset" when moving from less successful clubs to Saints or Leeds or Wigan etc. So even though they are still playing against the same teams - they are doing so with a fundamentally different appreciation of what is required of them.
Some players can handle this step up. Others can't. Good examples are Michael Shenton & Danny Orr. Two uncultured barbarians from Castleford who looked to be SL bigshots until they arrived at St. Helens and Wigan respectively where they couldn't cope with interior toilets, running water and quilted toilet paper.
