Boring rugby league bores me as I’m sure its bores many others. Warrington and St Helens matches are anything but boring. The main reason why I didn’t get a season ticket for the Rhinos this season was because throughout last season most of the rugby on show bored me.

Everyone has their own way of enjoying rugby league I suppose and we shouldn’t be criticising each other for the way we all enjoy it differently. However this decision by sky just doesn’t make any sense.

I am terminally unemployed and therefore I don’t have the sufficient funds that you need to see a super league game tonight and not that I would. If I had a season ticket I would have been at Headingley tonight. However as stated above I choose not to have one this year thanks to dull offering last season.

It has all the hallmarks of a boring game I’m afraid thanks to what Catalan have represented this season and Crusaders have last season. However I’ll give the game a chance later on tonight and I hope that I’m wrong about my prediction.

About my unemployment my name must be blacklisted icon_lol.gif

In my experience, two evenly matched teams will not make for a boring game. It's only when one team comes up with suffocating defense that RL loses its luster.

Great point.

However every game is different no matter how many evenly matched teams play against each other that weekend. It could well be a bore fest between Warrington and Saints whilst the game on TV becomes one of the best of the season so far.

Another reason why sky subscribers should be up in arms is because of the inconsistency. This is an absolute disgrace that should be frowned upon to demonstrate our severe unapproval.

To answer your question it won’t happen unfortunately. Manchester’s (Oldham, Swinton & Salford) bad luck in rugby league is only seconded to Cumbria’s.

Such a shame you had to choose... if only you were sufficiently evolved to have the cognitive powers to listen to the Leeds game on the radio while watching the Crusaders game on SKY!

I tried multitasking on a job once. I’ve been unemployed ever since. Think I’ll stick with listening to the game.
