It was exciting being in the relegation fight. This year no relegation, no excitement being "down there" hence less speccies. | | |

I wasn't disagreeing with the reasons for the decrease in attendances. I understand why people are staying away. My point was I didn't want the notion going that 2006's performances were better than they are now. The attendances will probably fall back to where they were pre 2006 IMO as people become apathetic about going. | | |

this shower are a different kettle of fish.
on paper they are stronger than 2006, but on the field they play with the same lack of passion.
the crowds are already dipping, and it'll continue until we play attractive rugby again, and play with passion, and bring with it a few wins.
the paying public have had too many empty promises since nobby arrived, and lenighans not the saviour we all thought he was.
the fans are showing displeasure and summat needs sorting quickly.
its not inconcievable that we will be played 6 lost 6 ........what then??[/quote]
You have to say on the performances so far this season, it is more than concievable, I hate to say this, but I think that's where we will be after 6 games = zero points. I hope I hope I'm wrong, very wrong, but I don't think so.

This is the worrying thing, next 3 games Harlequins(away), Bradford & Leeds. Can't see us getting close to any of these hope I am wrong but Christ we are looking at 0 - 6. Steve McCormack anyone?????

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

Wigan were unfortunate getting Millward so soon after his premature exit from Saints. At the time his head simply wasn't ready to take over a team in desperate need of chemotherapy.
Since then the cancer has spread - terminally - and Noble's out of his depth.
As for comparing the two: Millward knew more about Noble than Noble's mother did. It's the reason he flat-lined him in pretty much every game that mattered.
