| nantwich-I'm genuinely not sure if you're being ironic or not, such is the flippancy and tone in your post, particularly the term 'rot' in reference to the majority of the season.
I purchased a season ticket this season, and I don't feel pitiful or that I've been ripped off. In fact, in the regular season we've seen much improved performances, as the fact that Leeds finished 3rd suggests. The table doesn't lie-Leeds have been the third best team this year, meaning they have been pretty consistent results wise, which is all you can really ask for.
As a matter of fact, the only truly bad part of the season was in May, when we lost four in a row: against Hudds in the Challenge Cup (it was a one-off game, and they were just the better team on the day), Saints at home (one we probably should have won, but you have to give credit to Saints-a team full of kids, coming back from 16-0 down away at the Champions), the Wigan game was probably one of the best games (and performances) of the year, so there's no grievance there, and as for Hull, same as the Hudds game.
What I'm getting at is that a torrid month aside Leeds have been consistent with their results, pulling off some big wins against Wigan and Warrington at home, the 18-all against Bradford (which was an absolute classic), away at Catalans and then away again at Wigan on Thursday.
As well as all this, we've seen the blooding of a lot of youngsters (something I'd have thought you, of all people, would get excited about!) and, as you say, Singleton has nailed down a first-team spot. You might say that this was only brought on by injuries, but that only makes finishing 3rd even more impressive.
In summation, I feel season ticket holders have had access to some rich entertainment throughout this season, and even the games that weren't particularly skillful or entertaining gave us a chance to look at the future of our team, which is always intriguing.
Oh, and I really hope your lack of interest doesn't persist over the next few weeks-I have a feeling Leeds (and SL fans in general) will have quite a lot more to get excited about. But never mind, I'm sure there's a lot to do down in South Cheshire.

| Quote ="Fat Boy"Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I think your analogy (above) is a little flawed.
I agree that if you were to go to a restaurant and have a bad meal then you'd be unlikely to go back, but if you were to regularly go to the same restaurant but sometimes you were served a two Michelin Stared meal and others a BigMac and fries but you'd never know which you were to get it'd be a tad frustrating.
With restaurants, cinemas, holidays etc you can pre-empt the value you are going to get to a certain extent. For example it'd be unlikely that you'd be served a poor meal at the Fat Duck or spend £3K on a cruise aboard the QEII and I doubt you'd dirty sheets on your bed.
With the Rhinos you never know which team is going to turn up, one day it's Côte de bœuf, the next Findus Crispy Pancakes.'"
For the analogy to work properly you'd have to be asked to pay for 14 meals in one single payment in November of this year and then only be able to visit the restaurant twice a month at which point the rest of your analogy kicks in and you hope for gourmet rather than burger.

| I think that Huddersfield were ok to put out the team they did. They'd earned it by claiming top with a game to spare, the only problem I'd have had with it is if the Bulls were still in for a playoff spot as it wouldn't be fair to the other teams. But alas it wasn't effecting anybodies league position.
