Why does attending a game mean you've been "sucked in". Maybe the problem is that some are unrealistically expecting a performance like the Wigan one on a regular basis. I do wonder just how much sport some on here have actually played, if any. It's not that simple or easy to be at the best everytime you play, especially in team sports like RL when it requires 17 performers (with 17 others trying to stop you doing it).
If Leeds play badly then I feel disappointed for the players because I do know they can play better (but I do realise its not that straight forward to do) and its them for whom its more than a few hours hobby on a Friday night. It's everyday of every year until they retire, they're the ones who spend the hours practising, spend the hours fitness/conditioning/strength training, spend the very hard hours overcoming the injuries......that people then feel bad for themselves because they spent something along the lines of an hour or two wage instead of staying home is quite tragic.
Like I've said previously, if the risk of not possibly getting 'value' on £20 is too much for you then perhaps sport isn't right for some people.
