Good post,although this season has been far from a disaster i agree on all the above mentioned points,mylergate has overshadowed the season and the stadiumgate has just topped it all off!with only a few games left it does look like we will finish 13th(although a couple of weeks ago after saints i thought we had the chance to climb one or 2 places).Whats making things worse as the season draws to a close is that we all know a good few players wont be around next year and to them with nothing to play for its as if there just going through the motions before they move on!
I do wish that our slug of a coach would like to at least give a couple of players who havent played yet there chance in the limelight!But no doubt against wakey next week it will be the same team we have seen today!
I will also keep the faith for the club i love and be renewing my season ticket,lets all keep our chins up and,,heres to our stadium being half built this time next year,the slug seeing sense in his team selection and tactics,Myler being loaned out to London skolars from wire,Father teds newest batch of overseas recruits steering us towards the playoffs and the shed bouncing every otherweek as the willows becomes a fortress again for hopefully its last season for real this time!!!
Keep the faith

Could some of the malaise come from the steadily more monotonous play of SL games (despite who is playing)? In NL you saw more passing moves and you felt that 1-13 were not clones of the same identikit player.

That last try of ours yesterday was an exception.

Don't disagree about the source of 'the malaise' but I think the style of play actually started in the NL last year. Despite our strength and dominance, we were awful to watch last year IMHO. If anything I think we actually been slightly more entertaining this year, although still dull.

This has been my least enjoyable season ever. I'm sure the stadium saga, the Myler situation and having a coach to whom every poor performance is 'A Mystery as we've trained hard all week' have all contributed.

However, I'm still looking forward to Friday's game. There's always that glimmer of hope that we can put on a good show and get a result.
