People get older, their passions fade or change and they yearn for a golden age that invariably coincided with their youth.

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

It has been - at length on totalrl and redvee. The consensus on the former appears to be that whilst it raises some valid points about present days issues it is very much a dewey-eyed misrememberance of a heroic past. The consensus on the latter appears to be that the people on totalrl are a bunch of s.
I agree with both positions

I got bored half way down. I did agree with some of the comments but the most part just sounded like whining for whining sake.

I wish people would lay out what has been said in the link in the opening post. Five posts in and I still don't know what the feck the thread is about. So then I have to open the link. Yawn. That's 3.4 seconds of my excruciatingly boring life that I'll never get back.

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.

Read it all and have to say that I agree with quite a lot of what has been written.
I have been a fan of the game over 50 years and my agreement with many of the points made is not based upon dewy eyed sentimentality.

I posted similar on the Leeds board when this was discussed.
People in 60s 70s and 80s probably used to moan about the game not being as good then as it was with unlimited tackles for example.
The fact its been written by [iDespondent [/iDave is hardly surprising either. |

Nice. However, this is another one of those global responses that derides the content without actually pointing out what is wrong and why it is wrong. |

Interesting rebuttal rl"maxdecimus13.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/state-of-game-apologists-reply-to-dd.html"]here Dave.rl] Written by a poster I'm very familiar with, he has addressed you properly at least.
FWIW I'm not going to start getting personal either, but it's a shame you're not feeling the rugby league as of late. You don't think in any way this is down to St Helens not being the force they once were?
Your team won everything and were on top for so long that it became formulaic, and now, they've fallen a bit and it's not the same? You feel like when you're not on top the team is inferior but when you are on top it's not the same. The chase is far better than the prize. Have you considered this?

There's nothing wrong with it, its your opinion. There're are some things in the article I agree with to an extent but I can accept the game is different now, and I still enjoy watching it.
Its like everything in life, it changes and sometimes those changes are hard to take, whether those changes are going bald or your knees starting to go or the fact that there're no GB tours any more.
