I want us to win every week in every single game but I'm at the point where I'm considering not going games (season ticket holder for over 10 years). I don't know how much more of this bore fest I can take and the atmosphere is rock bottom. The is more noise down at brook on Saturday afternoon.
Yes people are moaning but if you have to sit 80 mins watching the most boring team in super league which we are paying money to watch, then I feel we have a right to complain.
I'm just bored to tears at our games.'"
Not just you mate, the amount of people on their phone or with their backs to the pitch just talking to mates gets more as the weeks roll by.

Unfortunately my shift pattern prevents me from attending a lot of home games and any away. I would take a winning team over an entertaining team always. I have been watching them for 35 years and have many memories of entertaining rugby but ultimately winning nothing. I want us to win first and entertain second. If you are winning players want to come and you can change to an entertaining style. If you're not winning , players wont come no matter what style of rugby you play.

That's not just us by the way I mean the game in general is boring - no characters no real confrontation, nothing. The game has been sanitised beyond belief.

Similar thoughts as well, I'm going to use these next 5 games to decide whether to carry on supporting the club for the remaining season.. The game is littered with time wasting by players, referees, sky video replays. KC and his blinkered coaching approach is just accelerating my decision to stop watching Superleague altogether, the quality player, game intensity and game attitude isn't there anymore.

I would go as far as to say the current crop of super league players is the worst since it's conception. Also the poorest Saints team I can remember.

| I think if we come out of the next 5 games with 8 points or more, then the moaning (including mine) will subside.
But KC needs to be careful. At the moment he has the smouldering embers of discontented fan base. Going public criticising fans is the equivalent of throwing petrol on that. He should choose his words carefully. He must also be aware that soundly beating Wakefield is not going to win many hearts and minds from a fanbase that considers anything else to be a dismal failure.
He should have saved those comments for after the Leeds game tomorrow. If we beat them convincingly, then he'd be on much steadier ground. As it is, he's missing the point a bit about what Saints fans want.
It's about a style of rugby. Even against a defence as terrible as Wakefield, nearly all our tries started with a PTB within 15 metres of their line. His tactics are the classic mid-noughties Bradfordian territorial grind, followed by a defence cracking in their own ten metres. It can be effective, but it's incredibly dull. Saints fans are conditioned from an early age to want much more adventure than that. We want fast wingers who can go the length, we want deep backs moves from within our own half, and we want that sense of butterflies and anticipation when those special players get the ball, because you just know that something extraordinary could happen.
What we have is the near-sure knowledge that nothing is going to happen at all, unless we manage to force them into a mistake within their own 10 metre line, so 90% of the game is essentially waiting to get there with 1 man-drives and kicks.
It might be effective, but God it's dull.

| KC is correct we are winning and that's his job to get results but he can't hide the fact the fans are bored. You can see it in the crowd and the atmosphere is dead.
Would I rather you play this boring rubbish rugby and go on to win the grand final? Yes 100%.
Will I keep paying to watch every game like I do now? No I won't, if the brand of rugby doesn't Improve then I'll pick my games and I'll watch the sky games at home.
I've never been so bored in my life as I am sat at Langtree park this year.

Why is the format dull? If we beat Leeds today, do you think Leeds fans will th ink a top 4 play-off format is dull?
Under the old top 8 their start to the season would be irrelevant.

Perhaps not who knows in RL at present, but their attendances are dropping been around 14,500, be interesting to see what tonight's gate is, a lot of Super League attendances seem to be dropping.

TBH mate, I struggle to get interested in watching them on Sky at present, they are that dull.

I think we mean In a proper manner. Both teams look poor. Can't knock effort but our execution is poor.

| Well I enjoyed it. Would have enjoyed it more if Sky had not kept interrupting the game with tries from Warrington.
