Quote Saint Bert="Saint Bert" People are getting wise and crowds for weekly rounds will fall.'"
Then they're not proper fans then are they ? Getting wise to missing the thing they are supposed to enjoy ?
Cutting off their noses to spite their face and missing games for what reason ?
Jeez, the grand final gives rugby league a wonderful annual place in the spotlight, along with Wembley, and yet some Luddites complain about the fact that first-past-the-post teams aren't champions.
Yes, wasn't life great when Leigh won the title up in Whitehaven and no one knew about it ?
Or when Bradford won their 2nd successive title in 1981 after Warrington collapsed by playing their final 9 games in 23 days ? Warrington lost the Cup SF to Widnes at Central Park that year and then had to play a league game at Bradford (their main title rivals) the FOLLOWING DAY ?! That was good wasn't it ?
I wish people would just follow the game and enjoy it for the fabulous spectacle it is, rather than just complaining for the sake of it. The way we're carrying on it won't be here to enjoy much longer.
