Come on gutters when it boils down to it what do you expect "us" fans that are actually in a position to go and watch em, unlike you, do?
walk away?
not turn up?
get your head round it "we" all get what you say, but love me mate you get very dull
I am with you brian

And what do you want to sink in?
please explain?
IF we have a mare of a season and the worst happens, then we pull our sox up re group and deal with that.
it has not happened yet, so until it does optomism has to be the approach.
Has anyone said on here we are gonna be doing anything apart from trying to finish 12th or better, its not blind optimism we are all realists (and yes the royal we) but we will still go and support the boys and hope they can go againstwhat everyone expects.
We all get it mate

Let's get something straight. This thread is about a pre-season friendly game, in which we were ripped apart by the team that has pretty much been the dominant force over the last few years.....but a team that recently has developed the ability to win "cup" games after mediocre seasons.
Losing a game is one thing, but 60+ point hammerings are bereft of any positivity, in any way shape or form. This isn't negativity, BTW, it is realism.

At no stage have I said that anyone should not attend games or boycott the club. I wouldn't be so arrogant as to dictate what people do or SAY in regards to the club.

If you want to roll out the "don't be negative gutters" mantra, can I suggest you steer clear of a thread designed to discuss the build up and then outcome of a game in which we had our s handed to us....severely.

Widnes will do us by 20+,Salford by 20+ and Bradford by 30+.....don't let my predictions ruin your enjoyment as spectators.

you have very quickly from assessing pre-season friendliest to the actual season?

if your right we are not going to win a game? I think my point is "what is the point of the post?" do you want them to lose every game? just feel if that is your view why bother wasting your time posting?

I prefer my pathetic, and probable misplaced optimism.......

There are other teams to support in London. Today's game was not of the greatest quality but both teams put in 100%. Not something you can rely on the Broncos to do.

I would expect this year LB to put in 100% but we have neither the strength or depth of squad to complete in SL, at least that is my view on the players we have on the extended team sheet.

Them giving 100% when they are being well beaten by a much better team is all we can ask. Last season that was what we wanted with a better team but didn't get it. If we survive relegation then that is something big to build on. Im sure we would also get better and more experienced players then to replace the loanees and hope the 'giving 100%' ethos continues.

Gutters mate, it's bad enough that we may well lose these games but you almost seem to be wishing it so in order to make your point.

obviously it was a poor game but how did james greenwood get on?

where did I say that?

the opposite actually. I hope they are sitting on 6 points (12 ahead of Bradford) after 3 games....I just don't have much faith in that being the case.

No, I clearly remember that. I just don't recall saying there was no point in going to watch it....as I've said, I don't dictate to anyone what they can say or do or where they go, unlike the uber-optimists on here who decry my negative realism and predictions for 2014.
Brian Mac on the BBC site reckons we'll get some wins this year......I suspect that depends on the challenge cup draw.

I've never dared tell anyone to buy memberships or not....I've never had the nerve to suggest fans stay away either. As for a differing view to mine, it's what makes an Internet forum........if we all thought the same, it truly would be a boring world. This is a thread about the Leeds friendly......this is a game that TR said was key for the team and we got rightly spanked. There is no positives to take from it. Watch the highlights again and tell me that if we defend like that all year we will be anything other than fodder. Hey.....enjoy the games you go to.....there's more to Match day than the result, but don't have a pop at negativity in a thread about a 62-10 thumping
