The team's performance in the match has been deemed a disappointment, with some fans and critics questioning their ability to maintain consistency and performance. However, Smailes argues that the criticism might be excessive, especially considering the team's recent successes and achievements. He highlights the importance of normality and predictability in the team's performance, emphasizing that their success in the past couple of years has been built on a solid foundation of performance and fitness. The author also mentions the team's ability to shut out the noise and focus on their goals, which is crucial for their success. Despite the setbacks, Smailes believes that Hull KR can recover and bounce back, especially with the upcoming match against Huddersfield Giants, which provides an opportunity for the team to regain their form and confidence. He concludes by encouraging the team to take action and focus on their goals, rather than getting caught up in the criticism and expectations.
