Agreed! The perspective is, as you have pointed out, those wins were merely papering over the cracks. Many posters on here always keep things in perspective and get slated by the rose tinted brigade for doing so.

If anyone wants a bit of perspective occasionally, follow the here and now and not the make believe! As Gaz has pointed out, his dad states he may have not attended on Sunday had the game been on TV. Now that's a huge telling factor that not just the rose tinted brigade should ignore, it should raise the alarm bells to another level. Is anyone listening? When loyal long time supporters start giving up the ghost, myself included and many more as Iain has pointed out the balance has shifted to a frightening level. In with the new? Out with the old? Yep I can see it heading that way but in what capacity? Better or worse? I fear the latter.

10,000 at the last game at The Willows, maybe 4000 on Sunday. Apathy is strife! Does anyone care if I don't turn up Sunday? I guess not?

I remember a story way back when, when my old fella was talking to a Featherstone Rovers supporter in a pub opposite Post Office Road just before we were due to play them. My dad asked 'are you coming to the game'? The Fev supporter replied 'I used to go but not anymore, they wouldn't come see me if I was ill so why should I bother going to see them?'

You'll always have supporters with blind faith and there's no harm in that, in fact the club relies on it. However it's like most things in life, if you don't look after it you'll lose it. I'm not saying it's doom and gloom for everyone, but, if you want a bit of perspective occasionally then there's some of mine!

I think we are one of the best teams in the league for chucking the ball about and playing 'panic rugby'. Do that from the start against Leeds and we've got a chance. If the ball doesn't stick we're screwed, but it's worth a go.

Problem is, you can't play 'panic rugby' for 80 mins against the good teams - however entertaining it may be.

You also need to be able to hold your own up front and IMO we lack the manpower. That's no slight on the coaches or the lads concerned and more a symptom of the fact that we're unable to spend anything like a full salary cap at this time.

Agree. And that's why we need to roll the dice against Leeds. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Totally agree mate, go down swinging n all that.

'Better to die on your feet than live on your knees'

As I said somewhere else I think the type of good rugby we've played this term is best described as cup rugby, I agree we need to from the off on Sunday try to ruffle Leeds by throwing the ball about and giving it ago. Don't if we win the kick off go long left and hope to contain them go short and try to win the ball and get on a roll, try the odd chip over the top from a scrum, play Owen from the start and see how long he lasts, get the ball to Jodie as much as possible and let him run at bigger bulkier backs, tell Smith this is his moment to shine and boss the game.

We might get beaten out of sight but I'd rather that and tried than do get battered playing like we did last Saturday.

Sign Zapata now! I blame Simms that we haven't already got him

Hate to say it but I have to agree. The Mrs is working I've got the children all day, in the past I would have made sure I had babysitting all set up but, to be honest I havn't got £17 to see how level the salary cap has made Super League.
