I will be going to the CC final as we do every year - does this clear me for not going to the Cas game?

I haven't been to any games this year. This is not a moral stand and has nothing to do with quality of performance. Just so we're clear. If we were top of the league having played scintillating rugby against a series of high quality opponents, I still wouldn't be going.
I'm not sure whether this makes me a worse fan than Batley or not? Can somebody help? My place in the supporter hierarchy is now unclear.
Thanks in advance.

I will be attending the cas game for two reasons. Firstly I have free tickets. Secondly the wife has been pestering me to see the Olympic tourch relay. Something I am not bothered about, however this way I get to kill two birds with one stone

Meh. If I want to see the Olympic torch it will pass a couple of hundred yards from my house on 1st July. Not sure I can be bothered really though.

I'm going to see the Olympic Torch round my way as my daughter tells me it is a once in a lifetime chance. She is 7 and swallows far too much crap that her teacher tells her, but it creates interest in sport I suppose, kind of!
As for Cas, I am not in attendance. My 'disposable cash' is not quite as disposable this year. I have been to 2 games this season and have been graced with a brilliant WCC win and a pretty lacklustre loss to Wigan. I suppose I am the case study of 'Glory Supporter'.

Even if you're excited by the Olympics (and my excitement has diminished since it became apparent that the "once in a life time opportunity" was mostly to be available to Coca Cola, Visa, McDonalds and Procter & Gamble rather than the British public) the chance to see a load of people wearing Jimmy Saville's tracksuit carrying an oversized cigarette lighter up Coventry Road is somehow not inspiring me.
It may well be the only chance I'll ever get to see this spectacle, but that doesn't mean its a spectacle worth seeing....

Would that be from his view or the viewers view?
I do wish you'd be clear about these things, it's important. |

| Quote: Towns88 "Nah there won't be a decent turnout. Everyone's feeling pretty low right now at the club, terrible season on the field, things going backward off it, generally speaking we get spanked at HQ, not much to play for. If it es it down, it could be a leveller, if not you'll win easily. Either way, a win for us won't mean right much and a win for you won't mean much either other then a step to cement a spot in the 8.
grim really. ![]()
Bloody hell, I'm going to be a bit lonely then if even you lot don't turn up.
I bet it'll be cold and raining as well.
Still ... if that's the price of smugness.
You'll all be sorry when McD picks all his players in the right position, subs them at the right times, and we see a solidly structured defence.
Could happen.

No Peacock, apparently a knee injury. IIRC he carried on playing so it can't be disastrous but even without a knee problem it's a chance to rest him. Good to have Watkins back, hopefully McGuire will be fitter this week.
I'd go with:
1. Hardaker
2. Jones-Bishop
3. Watkins
4. Ablett
5. Hall
6. Ward
7. McGuire
8. Griffin
9. Lunt
10. Moore
11. JJB
12. Delaney
13. Sinfield
14. Burrow
15. Leuluai
16. Bailey
17. Kirke

Rule 1. I am always right.
Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42170.jpg |

I like the look of that backline! The forwards are again the same plodding aged incumbents though, even just giving 2 youngsters a shot in the forwards I think would help rejuvenate the team a bit. Some youthful enthusiasm to help lift the older players could make a world of difference.

I'd agree, I'd have liked to have seen Singleton in the squad and rest either Leuluai, Griffin or Delaney. |

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

There's your problem. You're labouring under a misapprehension.
Batley Rhino has splashed out for half a season ticket once in over ten years. For various reasons (and I imply no criticism, merely an observation) he hasn't attended regardless of performance for many, many moons.
That is why I found his outrage amusing. Especially as he's loafed the occasional freebie of me, just because he buys me lunch on his expense account every now and again.
His points may or may not be valid in principle but he's hardly the vanguard for change at the club. His pub landlord is more likely to be economically effected by Batley suddenly deciding not to watch the Rhinos any more.
Besides, he's pulled the wool over over ones eyes. He's a miserable old fekker who actually enjoys it more when we're doing badly and has nowt to say when we're doing well.
Regardless, to suggest that supporters staying away from the club is the best thing for the club in the long term is, frankly, baffling. It's axiomatic that doing that will hamstring the clubs efforts to implement any kind of positive change.
