To be fair, I don't think I ever expected anyone to agree on RL Fans (just like Total Morons RL) as there's nothing wrong with the game in many people's eyes here.
However, what gets me is that people deride it as a load of rubbish but then don't actually have the intelligence to respond to the points raised, which makes me think that people just don't want to see what's staring them in the face. 
I appreciate that it's beneath a lot of you but there is a lot of discussion on this thread, and just because the content doesn't conform with Rugby League Propaganda, doesn't mean that some of the participants haven't raised valid points.
PS The first page is nostalgic old gumph. You might as well skip that.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Fair comment, balanced out by half the clubs in SL not being good enough for SL |

A bit weird that he's not harking back to a time when Saints were successful, but rather a time when they are worse than what they are now! |

In itself the article is fine, with many good points worth discussion.
It is the fact that it only highlights negatives rather than a balanced view that make it less worthwhile.
If he could bring himself to see some of the positives in the game, or even the negatives of the past he may find a different conclussion, rather than the game is dead.

| Quote: Asim "It's not a good demographic for RL to be losing support from, these are people who'd be expected to take kids of their own, or nieces and nephews to games to keep the line of support going - and if many fall out with the game it will have a negative longer term impact.'"
At the same time, I know at Saints of fans who have bought their first season ticket for years, including ones for their kids too. Attendances across the board appear to be growing so these must be a new generation of fans and old fans returning to the game now that it's more professional. Someone may wish to argue about the professional aspect but I bet if you looked at clubs' business plans from 1990 you'd laugh. |

| Quote: Starbug "Nobody needs to tell me ' my ' team isnt good enough for a franchised SL, that is plainly obvious, and from a playing point of view the Championship is a vibrant, competitive, worth winning in its own right competition, its just nobody wants to pay to watch it'"
Interestingly the Championship isn't as methodical as SL, so maybe the Saints fan would be better hoping that Saints were in this league? I do enjoy watching the Championship because it's not as polished on the whole. |
