Have to say this exact thought crossed my mind the other day. I'm not quite there yet, but I find myself going through the motions. I rarely look forward to matchdays any more, the uninspiring performances of the last 2½ years make attending more of a chore than a pleasure, and the lows are heavily outweighing the highs for no good reason in my eyes. I've been asked a few times over the past year why I continue to go when it I come back so miserable and the only answer I can come back with is 'They're my team, you just do don't you?'.

On the selection points on here, Moa is clearly one of Agar's favourites. He's done almost nothing to warrant his place but appears to be a regular fixture now. A poor message to send out IMO.

Disagree there Kosh, we should be aiming for more than being a 'Kear team' and targetting the CC.

Our next two games are more important and ones were we need players fully fit , so resting today would have been a better option for me

But the key point to me is that we were pretty the closest team to Leeds and Saints in terms of parity. Won a trophy, split the top 2, and a GF appearance. So the big question that sticks out is why did we fall back into the chasing pack when we should have moved on to establish ourselves as part of the upper echelon?

money shot

I can well see your point, but it's the only trophy we stand a chance of winning. Is seventh and a CC win better than fifth and no CC win?

Depends were you go on from that 5th spot

We're not going to win SL from fifth, are we? I'd like to think we could build year on year, but as carl spackler mentioned, we got to within one game of winning the comp and then drifted back to obscurity.

Those performances look like superb displays compared to the Walsh era.

Fair point, well made.

Long term I agree with your point, but I guess I just don't believe that we have a team capable of winning SL this season. That being the case, I'd rather we took our best shot at the CC.

I was thinking more of the other players mentioned TBH, like resting Dowes, Cusack and Berrigan.

The Moa situation annoys me a great deal. If Agar thinks he's fit enough to play then he has to do more than one 10 minute spell in the 2nd half. If not, don't play him.

That's more poor team/bench selection than resting key players TBH.

Tell me about it. Like I said on another thread, how radical would it be to play four props and rotate them in 20 minute spells? And perhaps we coud even stretch to a recognised loose forward.
