Quote: Wilbred T Pricklepop "That section of sinfields speech was aimed at people within the media that had written the team off and not the fans.
The fans have shown tremendous support at times (they'll always be a minority that boo after bad games). Look at the grand final and the encouragement recieved after the team went 8 down and looked gone. THAT was great support.
Who gives a feck what s small minority (in the grand scheme) post on a bloody internet forum, do you think the players even bother to read? We still turn up in thousands and make noise and cheer the boys on. People turned up at catalans after we copped a thrashing by saints, they turned up to cheer the boys at headingly against hull after said thrashing with catalans. We give them good support, doesn't matter what's written on here.'"
Got to agree, i've been to all the games bar two this season (away to catalans and harlequins) and the support has been excellent considering what we've been through. The only time i've heard more than a tiny minority attack the team was at Widnes when we got a drubbing off Saints, and that was a group of pished up idiots that didn't seem to understand the game anyway. I can't remember the team being booed off which has happened to clubs like Hull,Bradford and st Helens this year. I have doubted the coaching staff and the team, probably like 99% of our fans if they're being honest, but i've always given them my full support and never verbally attacked the team or manager, once again like the majority of our fans. We got what we deserved for averaging 15,000 despite a disappointing league campaign and turning up even when the season was going badly wrong.
