We had high hopes of getting to the Challenge Cup final at Murrayfield.

It wasn't arrogance, we were just confident in the squad we had out against St Helens.

Everything had gone to plan in the build-up and we were really fired up.

Unfortunately for us, Saints came out and really battered us. I thought they were outstanding and totally deserved their victory.

If they play like that for the rest of the season they won't be beaten. They were that good.

Everything they touched turned to gold. In stark contrast, nothing went right for us.

It's difficult to accept how poor we were, but we've knuckled down in training this week.

We realise we've got a big game against Wakefield coming up on Friday night and know we must bounce back quickly.

We are still in the running for Super League honours so we will try to focus on that and try to forget the Saints game.
