I stayed to the bitter end. It was a long last 20 minutes though.

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 and Toronto recruiting a lot of players 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.
