What is a losing streak?
A losing streak is when a team or individual loses multiple consecutive games or matches. Hull FC had been on a seven-match Super League losing run before their victory over St Helens, making their win even more significant. Ending a streak, especially a long one, can be a huge morale boost and a turning point for a team.
