I have read with interest the points raised by other posters on this subject. I do not take issue that France is a Rugby League heartland, however the French should play the French in France, they are just a bunch of journeyman Aussies. As for the poster that suggests we don't want to watch Featherstone with 3000 other souls, why not, I have seen some great matches at Post Office Road. Why must we expand? why? look at the gates this year, they have been down year on year for the last few years.
I accept that I am against the tide, I do not think my views will prevail, but I hope others see value in some of my points.
It will take a lot to get me back to the game, I miss the biff, I miss the skill, I miss the characters and the fact that different teams played different ways, but most of all I miss standing on a packed terrace after a couple of pints watching my heroes take on local rivals.
Whilst the game looks to expand, looks for more corporate sponsors, and new partners, puts all its efforts into being inclusive and offending no one, whilst not investing in skill ability and risk taking, then I for one will not be taking my place on the terraces.
