The critical issue is whether we can bounce back in the last 2 games. And that in my view is a very open question.I can’t see it.
It felt - watching them today - that it felt all too hard for them so I don’t see us winning.
Maybe they’re demoralised because they know the season ending injury count is way too high and feel it’s inevitable that it won’t be their year?
I disagree about the earlier suggestion re them not playing well because rumours of Cripps leaving - they’re professional athletes and if they had a shot at finals and premiership, they’re not just going to give them up being sooks because someone is leaving at seasons end. They want success now and would strive for it particularly if, as it’s suggested Cripps is going, he’s still playing his arse off.
