Quote: Separate Ways "I find some of the attitudes on here shocking quite frankly.
Yes, we've won the title for 5 of the last 6 seasons
Yes, we finished 3rd in the table
Yes, we look primed to go on and retain our title this season
But it's not good enough. Because we haven't hammered some teams enough.
Could you be any more ungrateful to the work that GH & BMD have put in over the last two and a bit years?
Taking your ST away won't make the club better able to hammer everyone, it'll make it harder as they have less money to spend on the kind of players you (apparently) want to see in the team so that we can hammer everyone.
For goodness' sake, just keep a bit of damn humility in mind. I imagine 10 years ago Bradford were saying exactly the same about their performances in weekly rounds. I guess now they'd be happy to see ground-out wins against all but the best teams and good performances in the playoffs. You lot really do seem to have lost any sense of perspective. Success isn't enough any more, it must be domination and anything else is a failure.
If you want a succesful Leeds Rhinos in 2014 and 2015, renew your season ticket. If you want to feel good today and for us to be winning sod all in a few seasons, by all means don't.'"
OMG - take your Blue & Amber glasses off for a second and look into what is being said a little more objectively.
The point raised and being debated is the value of a season ticket based on the quality of the games we go and watch.
No-one is blaming GH or BMcD - it's the format of the play-off system that is at fault.
With the current 8 team play-off system clubs and more specifically coaches can afford to chop, change, experiment and ease-off through the regular season, then knock it up a gear in the play-offs. BMcD does this expertly and should be praised for it. The side effect of this though is some dismal regular round performances.
Hence the debate on the value of a season ticket.
