I just don't get why anybody would boo!

The team are not playing well and is probably the worst I've seen us play for a few years but think they deserve some slack after the heroics over the past few years, we have been spoilt in Leeds with such a great team and as soon as things start to go wrong that's it! People turning on them.

Believe me this is the kind of criticism Rhinos can and want to put up with. They wouldn’t be playing or putting themselves in the firing line otherwise. Yeah you have good games and bad games.

But giving them slack because of what’s happened in the past, is like keeping Shaun McRae on a Salford because of what he did one season years ago.

My dad always taught me; it doesn't matter if you lose as long as you try your best.

People are not booing because we're losing, they're booing because we're showing little to no effort.

I'm just saying give them time to turn it around, I'm not saying keep players that are past their best like a few probably are but they still shouldn't be booed, they're not making mistakes on purpose. I just think its dis loyal.

I do agree its very frustrating and some players don't seem to be trying but its not just them you are booing, its all the players, some of which try their hearts out every week.

It's not dis loyal. Dis loyal is not turning up the week later.

I boo'd them off at half time to show my discontent at the effort they were putting in, then cheered them back onto the pitch for the second half as if to say... "Clean slate boys, you know how we felt about the first half, now we're behind you for the second half!".

Next week is a new game, and I shall be giving them the loyalty they deserve and cheering as loud as I always have to show my support, but they can't get away with charging people to watch them just not give a sh*t. They're better than that, and they, and we know it.

Correct. I also recall in JP's book saying that in 2006 towards the end of the season when we hit a slump that the team were desperate to get out of it so did more and more training, fitness sessions etc and went away from the tried and tested, taking the stick instead of the proverbial carrot is the analogy i recall him using, looks like history is repeating itself.

perhaps the players need one of these to get back on track...rlOutbackrl

its worked for Cas

A free trial for News of the World?! Can't see how that would help.

At least we now know what Brian McD is up to during the week!

I sort of agree. I personally dont boo, but not all people who boo are glory fans. My old man doesnt boo, but he shouts etc at the players (quite embarrassing sometimes.) he has been going 70yrs. Not a glory fan.

Its your money and you can boo if you want to. It is easier to be negative than positive but i just think that it boils down to frustration really no malice.

Agree, Its not really me to boo, but I can sort of understand people doing it. And it isnt very cheap anymore. Think it does boil down to frustration, lots of money being spent, and people thinking they have "paid out all this money and they dont look like there even trying"

I know this is a Rhinos matter, but I think across all sport you will find supporters are a lot quicker to criticise a team for a poor performance than applaud them for a good one. If you look at most threads on blogs and on match reports on local paper websites the amount of comments after a loss tends to outweigh those when the team wins. Unfortunately this seems to be the way. I am obviously not saying this is always the case, but more often than not I think it probably is.
