We were like a different team against Wigan. It was a real boost for us because we improved out of sight from the previous week’s effort and our intensity was ten times better.

We trained well all week – but then we had in previous weeks. It was just that the intensity and confidence were both spot on and we were really fired up.

In previous weeks there were times when we’d let our heads drop after conceding a try but we stayed with it and fought right to the end, even with 12 men. That’s what we need to do every week now.

Like I’ve said in the past, there’s no magic formula to it. We didn’t really change too much. It just comes down to your mental approach and how you get yourself up for that game.

We came very close to beating the Super League champions while playing with 12 men, so who knows what might’ve happened if Gaz Raynor hadn’t been sent off.

That’s the benchmark for performances and we have to keep up those standards if we want to start picking up wins.

Salford are up next and it’s impossible to forget our last game against them. I wasn’t playing that day and I just remember standing there watching in utter disbelief as they kept scoring.

That’s not taking anything away from them because they were good that day but we let ourselves down badly. We have a lot more to offer and I’m sure that day will still be fresh in the minds when we run out on Sunday.

Olby has been supplying the lads with fruit and veg baskets because his dad has a market stall and gave him some stock.

Obviously, now he’s signed his new mega-bucks deal and he’s looking for ways to expand, Olby saw the pound signs and started to flog the boxes.

But he was caught out when Lynchy went round to his house to pick him up for training and had a word with his dad.

Turns out the boxes only sell for £5 on the stall but Olby was charging the lads £10 a pop, so a lot of them aren’t very happy with him at the moment.
