Don't think this was completely unexpected...but man, it's frustrating.

As already pointed out, all the hard work and hard fought wins of the last 3 rounds feel a bit soured now.

Whilst injuries and tactics obviously were the reason for the loss, is the root cause of this being part time?
These are the fixtures a championship winning team would go and get a win, even if ugly.

Whilst there are full time and part time teams, you always feel that will be the difference ultimately.
You can't really blame the players either, I mean who doesn't have an eye on work next week when Sunday comes around? I know I do. How many had a tough start to their working weeks on the Monday? Can you really get up them if that was the case?

It reminds me of the "almost" title winning side of 93-94 (IIRC) where we'd gone and won at places we never usually did like Cas and Warrington, then stuffed up against Leigh at home and Hull KR away (the bottom 2 sides I think). That was a part time team competing with a FT Wigan side. I'm still spewing at that lol
