Don't think I'll be watching again until I see some commitment from the ownership to helping them out.

They may be getting put in too soon and having it tough but having their careers ruined --- really!
Yes, you were venting but that is what happens on social media.

| Well that was utterly depressing! Out enthused, out run, out fought and out thought. Didn't see anything from either of the Widnes boys. The amount of times we were out of position defensively in the middle to let a man go in untouched.
More injuries to Oakes, Margrin Mendeika and Moore. Don't think any apart from Margrin are short term.
Attacking wise we went back to old habits of passing down the line with zero dummy runners. Poor all round.
Not good at all. Christ knows what the aggregate score for last 3 games is

| Well we've hit rock bottom. Ball firmly in the owners court. Are they serious about taking the club forward or are they just fulflling fixtures to spare Nigel's blushes?

| So 8 points off survival once again with two hammerings likely in next two matches. Not looking great is it? Least we're ahead of target though according to our chairman!!

| I think that's probably the final nail in the coffin. Our players, fresh off the letters informing them of an uncertain future here, are probably already securing deals elsewhere for next season. So why should they care what happens for the rest of the season?
I await a post from Red telling us all not to panic, we're going straight back to SL....He's seen Dane Chisholm's contract, don't you know?

| Bit worrying none of the players seem to be coming out on twitter apologising or promising to put it right. Absolute silence. Suggests they possibly don't care

| If anyone who attended the match wants a laugh, read the match report on the website.
"Bradford Battle to the Final Whistle". No mention that they didn't start battling until 65 minutes into the game
My personal favourite "Johnny Campbell arguably performed one of the tackles of the season." referring to when he ws handed off by the Sheffield player, causing the Sheff player to lose his balance and fall over, Campbell then got penalised for pushing him into touch.
It mentions the try scored by James Kelly, but doesn't list him in the team line up. Fair enough, it was a late change, but him scoring the try should surely have given them a clue he was in the 17.
It also refers to "The Eagle's Sam Scott". Apparently there's only one eagle...
And those are just examples. It's almost like propoganda the way it's positive about such a completely awful performance.

Why not? It's another of the RFL's little treats for us - being their favourites and all.

How did the players act at the end of the game? Did they thank the fans for turning up?

| Must admit, I left early too. Only a minute or two, as Sheffield went over for their last try there didn't seem a whole lot of point sticking around to watch them convert it as I had no intention whatsoever of applauding them. At that point I really wanted to just get home, to the pub and pretend I'd never heard of Rugby League.

| Well I couldn't be bothered going since I knew another thrashing was on the cards and I'm sick of feeling obligated to go to games - I want to go because I enjoy it. The next two games will see us concede another 100+ points. I can think of better things to do with my time so will be back for the Dewsbury game on 4th June. Lose that and we're done.

This is the first time I think I've ever felt like that, but I sat at the game yesterday thinking exactly the same. Just sitting thinking "Do I really want to carry on doing this, spending time and money on this total rubbish?". Normally, I would carry on out of obligation, loyalty and a little guilt of not going, but in all fairness, I don't think anyone at the club gives two turds if I keep going or not anyway. They certainly don't seem to care, so I'm not sure I should either.

| TBH I was feeling like that after the Fev debacle last season when we just didn't turn up and put in a shameful non effort. This season the team might not have been as good but it's given 100%. However they've been let down by those running the club. The Easter train wreck could've been seen coming for weeks and we're now cannon fodder. With a dual reg with bloody Widnes the supposed answer to our problems. The Operations Manager Russ McFarlane says it's hard to recruit because of Easter [iand Toronto recruiting a lot of players[/i That says a lot about our ability or desire to recruit.
I'm just not feeling it at the moment. The endless bodged up press releases, the Chisholm c0ck up and the Toovey and Phoenix visa fiascos. Not getting the away kit right. It's all so amateurish. The honeymoon period was always going to be short with the new owners after everything we've been through since 2012. I'm voting with my feet until I see hard evidence they're in it for real.

Dunno mate, I left immediately after the hooter sounded.
We scored some good tries in the last twenty, whilst Sheffield took a nap. Poor doesn't even come near to covering it overall.

No no, they weren't poor. Look at the report on the website, they battled hard to the very end!

Without actually planning to I already did the same, even before this slump set in. I had a burst of enthusiasm at the start of the season but it's a month now since I've been to a game. The only reason I'm here now is I literally just this minute remembered there was a game yesterday and I didn't know the result.

Except, apart from the precise scoreline, you actually did know the result, and that probably sums up why so many of us are so fscked off.
Be careful though - you'll have blockhead on in a minute accusing you of "taking your bat home".

All the players came up to the North Terrace and applauded those of us that were still there after the hooter.
They looked totally dejected.

Part of the problem was that they looked like that from the moment they conceded the first try. It was like they gave up straight away.
