I personally love it but going on to all the message boards through the weeks
and im seeing a trend.

because teams are for want of a better word so inconsistent people are being put off watching/spending money on their teams.

Leeds/Hull FC/Wire/Wigan/Cas/Wakey/Bradford and to a minor extent Quins

all moaning this season that they don't see the point in going to the games.

Support your clubs guys we all need RL to succeed. Variety is the spice of life.


Funnily enough Celtic supporters are fine






It's been fun.

I don't think I've ever seen an instance of a Cas fan saying they won't follow the Tigers due to inconsistency, but would be more than happy for you to prove me wrong?

Inconsistency comes in sport, especially in one which is so open and competitive.

It's good that we don't have the usual top six of Saints, Leeds, Wigan, Bradford, Warrington and one other such as Hull FC, Huddersfield etc.

Be that as it may with teams being equal, thus implying inconsistency. The case remains supporters will always follow a team that tries hard, as opposed to one that doesn't. Point being inconsistency with effort, rather than results is probably more important to a fan.

I agree and I think most people realise that.

I think the ones who say "i'm not going because we are rubbish/inconsistent" are either looking for excuses not to go or they don't really care about the team they care about winning and they are the types of fans all clubs can do without.

I think that what people say and what they do are two different things, and it is easy to get carried away after a poor performance and say "why do I do it?" "I'm not going again" but the vast majority will be back there the week after as usual!

The whole point of supporting a club and attending live sports matches is that you dont know what is going to happen [ there are a few exceptions , Saints will always beat Wire at the death :wink: , or will they ? ]

If you knew what was going to happen you wouldn't bother going as the SL v Championship CC attendances testify

We are not just an entertainment business as some on here keep telling us

You go to every match hoping you will witness something special , a ' wide to west ' , a last minute drop goal , a 20 point come back , a derby win , if you are a Warrington fan hanghing on to a lead against Saints

That is why we go , inconsistency is what makes it what it is

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Really? can't remember any threads about quins fans not wanting to go due to any on field issues






Sarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them.

This is put on by a Wire fan they are a really bad bunch of fans who demand a winning team because we have got a new ground and when we loose we will Boo anybody or anything because we can not stand losing.

It's got to be good for the game!

Just look at the youth running round super league at the moment and it's not just at the top teams like saints and Leeds. Most teams now have good young players breaking threw.

Also I think in the next year but defo in next couple of years I think we gonna see few teams break the saints and Leeds from being the Dom teams year in year out.

The likes of hull kr, wildcats, giants could win the grand final in the next few years. Kr and giants could maybe do it this year.

Your match with Leeds on friday was a perfect example of why people pay good money to attend matches

It wasn't the best skilled game due to the conditions but for excitement and drama it could not be faulted

I just wished you had gone for the drop when you had the chance :wink:
