It's a sad state of affairs when fans get to this point. I'm sure the winter famine will generate a bit of enthusiasm in us but the harsh fact is that I can get virtually all the RL I need from Premier Sports for next to nowt without getting off my backside and with the added bonus of avoiding all of the crap on Sky that winds me up. It's getting to be a no brainer and that scares me TBH.

If I could get premier Sports on Virgin, the decision would be a lot easier for me. Unfortunately at some point I'll have no other option than to watch Salford v Castleford as my weekly game rather than Melbourne v St George.

I'm the same as most people on here. Used to be crazy about the sport but now its nothing more than an afterthought.

UK Rugby league is in a dreadful mess and supporters will drift away en masse if it continues.

This season in particular had been a bore fest, particularly for us, with most of our games being over before half time. Even Eddie and Stevo havent been banging on about how great our game is, so it cant just be us!! I think the CC QF was a turning point for me, possibly the worst wigan saints derby i have ever seen for intensnity. Yet the game on friday has actually reignited my passion for the game, it had everything and even though we lost i left the game thinking how great rugby league can be.

To all the disillusioned on here. This is my suggestion. Get down and watch the U19's next year. I get as much pleasure from watching the emerging talent from the young sides as I do watching the first team.

Whilst I agree Brian (I also try to get down to Orrell as often as I can), quite a lot of the U20 fixtures are pointless one sided affairs with only Wire, Saints, Leeds matches being the exception.
