To be honest (and as a longstanding RL fan I take no pleasure in saying this) I have found RL increasing boring over the past few seasons. Five drives and kick, 13 big lumps v 13 big lumps .... it just bores me.
I used to love watching the special players who used to scare me when they had ball in hand - Drummond, Johnathon Davies, Scot Gibbs.
Even the kids weren't that bothered about renewing the season tickets .... I'm even close to cancelling Sky Sports I've so little interest these days.
I would much prefer a return to specialist positions, a variety in styles of play (at least Saints try and move the ball, proper commentators (Eddie & Stevo are pitiful)and some competent ref's.

It's like watching a game in a grave yard

Don,t worry us lot from over the hill will bring 5 to 6k on Friday, normal service will be resumed at least for the derby anyway.

But the point is that RL attendances are DOWN on last year regardless of the "every minute matters"

Do you think Saints V Wigan at LP will attract 18000 in June?

Are attendances lower? I'd say on the whole it's pretty similar, just your men lettin the team down.

And yeh, I'd be surprised if there wasn't 17k+ on for the June game

Yes.
