was that in the second half? it was a kick or a pass, but whatever it was it was just when i turned on, i kinda shook my head at it and turned it off again.

Yes, second half. I couldn't believe that Salford just meekly accepted it. Probably felt it didn't really matter by that stage, but even so, you've got to stand up for yourselves.

Attendances are and will continue to fall (across all Clubs), until the game gets back to its previous format.
Officiating has been a huge factor in helping to kill the game by its amateur woeful performance.
We could list a plethora of cock ups made by officials (regrettably far too many errors influential on the games), to the point we hear the ref at the Wakey game last week, has apologised to Warrington for his mistakes....
For crowds to come back the game needs to change and be more like the game we all saw 8-10 years ago, recognise that it IS a contact sport - it is not Netball....
I have watched a lot of NRL this year, and have to say that the gap in skill, entertainment even commentary is nothing short of light years apart.
I haven't set foot in the HJ since pre Lockdown, and since last year, have seen nothing that makes me want to return - ignoring the fact that we are utter garbage, the game itself is boring.
This regrettably is evidenced by attendances, and this will only get worse, as money is tight, so we are having to prioritise where we spend it, and SL simply does not deliver any more.
Shame, but till someone wakes up and smells the coffee in the RFL, though for me, thats where a lot of the problems emanate, things will only get worse, SKY will re-evaluate (only their money would be the loss....nothing else, punditry is a complete joke), and probably walk away.

Look on the bright side mate, that’s the spirit!!!!

Last week there were 3 games on Sunday. As has been said before Sunday has become a family day, especially when the weather is nice. As others have said the main problems are the RFL hierarchy and the standard of officiating, but Sundays dont' help.

Wish I could, but I can clearly see whats going on before my eyes (and others).....and it aint good.

With the mobility of forwards these days perhaps try a few games without the six tackle rule & rely on natural ball loss in the game. As it is ,you get two evenly matched teams & because most sets end in a kick RL gets to resemble tennis or even RU in its bad old days when kicking was rife. Maybe stop so many rule changes too & maintain the important rules more rigidly .

With the reports that he has an eye condition, have you confused next doors cat with Thomas Mikaele?

Fully agree but not sure will ever go back to being a High risk, full contact sport…..

Getting back to attendance and a game i'm pleased that I missed has anyone got the attendance figure for our recent mauling by Leeds at home? asking for a friend

8,278. The highest attendance of the round . . .

I don't think that the day of the week argument is an argument that the club or the RFL would ever win.

Thursday is a working day and certainly not great for travelling along the 62 or perhaps for kids. I don't mind a Friday myself as it can set your weekend up nicely (although not on current form) and there's something about games under the lights. Saturday is a chores/doing day for many although a teatime kick off before a night out could appeal and then there's Sunday which works for me generally speaking as I'd like to bring some younger family members along to the HJ once we get some form

I think it's just a case of people having busy lives and options and with the current fare on offer and the call on their purses many existing spectators and potential new attendees will be put off any day of the week

Cheers Jack

Well I'll be going to my first match for several years on Friday.

Covid, costs and time involved getting to and from the match as well as apathy towards the way we played all contributed.
Added to the fact that I can see the full match on WireTV for £6.99 a month (but a few days later), there are more options.

So now I'm combining with a trip up to Warrington, and even though I dont expect much from the team, I still love rugby league and am confident that things will turn round at some point.

It’s the hope that kills us….
