Got to agree with Mopsey and Chapster. I went to Bradford today and was bored. I've got the utmost respect for our guys who pull on the shirts and usually to a man give their all, but I'm tired and fed up with a sport that doesn't want my team (and others like them) and a sport that doesn't give a shiny $h1t about clubs below Super League.
I now get more pleasure watching local amateur rugby league than I do professional rugby league

That's the key, there should be major restrictions on imports, everyone agrees to a quota then makes a mockery by signing garbage players on Greek passports or whatever. We're as bad/worse than anyone. |

| Quote ="TRB"Can understand the sentiment entirely.
I have lost a lot of enthusiasm for the game itself - and I blame much of that on our position not being dictated by matters on the field - where it should be.
To further complicate matters, RL, and WTW in particular, has always been the one thing that me and the Mrs have enjoyed together. With the exception of a handful of games we have been and watched the team play most games for over 20 years. Her first RL game ever followed our return to the old 1st division, when we had just beated Wire, Wigan and Hull (AK's interception!
 ), and we played Salford at home and got stuffed - courtessy of Tex Evans' hatrick. Now I genuinely feel like I'm putting her out by taking her to games!
I would lay some of that blame at the club and some at the way the game has changed. I am, by nature, a loyal kind of person - even when that is not in my best interests. I like 'normality' and 'familiarity'. I like to feel that there is something bonding me with the players, the coaches and the management - and I genuinely believe that we get better performances from the players when they feel it too. So, given that, who is our longest serving player - Sam, but he only came around 2005. BJ was here earlier, but left and came back. Otherwise, nearly all of them have been here only since around 2006, and too many have only just arrived - and I'm sick of it! I liked that side with Grixy and Ollie Wilkes etc, yet we ditched them for something 'better' - well that turned out well! The only other person who really cared for the club was JD, and he.... well it just went sour.
So, despite the fact that I long for some small modicom of success going forward, I desperately, desperately hope that some of these guys we have at the club right now, especially the academy kids, stay with us for 5, 10 or even 15 years - possibly even do a JT and stay for longer. That we build affection for them and them for us and, that by doing so, we demonstrate that the club is viable and stable and will hopefully have endeared a much wider audience to come and view who we are and what we do.
We're all doing it tough right now (it's just a phrase but it's so very true right now) and all of the people at the club must feel it as bad or even worse, so let's just hope that all this can be sorted quickly and we can begin the long process of getting the pride back into Wakefield's premier sporting club!'"
Last year for the first time in 40 years of supporting and playing for Wakefield, I didn't attend one single game. It had got to the point that watching Wakefield was making me feel ill and I couldn't go on with that. I would sincerely like to visit the old lady before the bulldozers come in but unless something changes dramatically between now and October I won't be doing so. |

Unfortunately, the rot had set in from the season before and I had a feeling that the bright start was only going to be a false dawn |
