Quote: I8pies "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.'"
That's exactly the way I feel and have done for a while. The kids are bored with a game with no stars or excitement. We may get 3 or 4 games a year at home with a decent atmosphere, the rest are just like sitting in a church. We need big names back in the game who will create anticipation and excitement. The clown, Nigel Wood, talks about a vision but he is not in touch with reality and I cannot see how the game will grow.
