I never expected the win. Wigan have shown to be better than us over the course of the season and the big thing was they had a lot more creativity about them than we did.
Better season than last year, losing in finals isn’t what you want but it’s a damn site better than fighting off relegation!
Losing in finals is actually just becoming like losing normal games now. When we lost the semi to Leeds in 2011 I was absolutely gutted, that was our year that one! Losing the finals in 2012 and ‘13 were bad but since then the CC finals and GF defeats I don’t think we’ve been the best side in any of them and can see why we’ve lost and accept it fairly well.
We need to put more thought into the structure of our squad.
We overachieved in 2016 and 2018. No way were we a particularly top side in either year but we reached four finals and finished 1st and 4th in the league. What does that say about the rest of the league?
