I put this out there as a genuine, and I mean genuine, topic for discussion. Fully accepting that it could be viewed as a loaded sleight at PW, I dont mean it to be.

I've been asking myself, have we become too accepting of "glorious" defeat? I dont mean games where we get truly thumped and it appears nobody is trying - nobody defends those performances. I mean the games like yesterday (and blackburn, and norwich, and the draws against brum and huddersfield, etc, etc).

Is it just something we must accept due to the finances of RUFC comparative to others, or has it actually become an accepted mindset amongst the staff, and critically, us the fanbase? If the latter, could a tweak to that mindset reap tangible rewards?
