I think people should be able to boo if they want to. Like everybody says you pay your money and you make your choice. I didn't boo yesterday cos I don't think you could fault the effort, we just lacked a bit of direction in the middle of the park.

My issue with the booing is that I estimate that a large percentage of the boo boys were booing because they expected us to do Quins over. I've seen some outrageous predictions around here as of late. We've done nothing in pre-season to suggest we were going to hammer them. Beating a severely depleted Wakefield team and Fev isn't enough reason to suggest we'd even win.

I understand people saying everyone has the right to cheer/boo as they please, they've paid their money and as such that is their choice. Fair enough, but I strongly feel that that sort of reaction comes too soon. We've got a new team that still need time to gel, time to settle in and they've got the potential to be very good. Booing them isn't going to help, they're going to feel frustrated and this will lead to more mistakes which could cost us games.

We're all supporters, how about we get behind our team and support them?

Not as bad as some would have you think. We were lacking in offence but in defence we were pretty good apart from Luke Dorn's second try.

Tbh the game from start to finish was pretty dire from both sides.
With 20 mins to go i decided to read the Aye of the tiger magazine.
I agree it was the attacking opptions that was non existant.
All credit to our defence, but a lose is a lose and we need to get something on friday or TM could be a coach under sever stress.

He can't be under stress after two games of the season as that seems to be Brian Noble's job after two defeats in a row.

Couple of things about the fans yesterday. Most of the PS spent 39 mins of first half screaming for us to throw the ball around and the rest of the game abusing Sargent for doing just that. I just hope that they are now pondering whether more patience with the sensible tactics we had been employing would have made Sarge less prone to that blood-rush.

The booing at the end was disproportionate to the level of effort (which is all I personally demand of the team) but on this occasion I can sort of understand it. I suspect most of the 7000 crowd, having grown fed-up of one bad SL season after another, harboured hopes of something better this time around only to witness a repeat of just about every other opener since 2000. Getting that frustration out probably made them feel a bit better but ATEOTD it does demean us as a group and won't help the cause.

That reminds me, I think yesterday was the first time I've ever heard the PS stand collectively shout "Forward!" We didn't get anything for it though.
