Quote ="Kettykat"Well me the the missus n grandkids went over and watched the game for the princely some of £30 , and had a great time and watched some decent rugby along way , roll on Englands next game I say . The team that turned out for this game will look nothing like the team that plays in the World Cup , this was nothing more than a training , get together game and for that purpose I think it went well . People moan when we lose and at the same time moan when we win , I really do despair at times with the apathy of RL supporters when more people moan about our effort than applaud them . If anyone is still in the dark as to why international or our domestic game for that matter RL can’t make it into the main stream sporting events , you don’t have to look much further than the fans. Kevin Sinfield posted on a RL site got more likes on social media for helping whatever their called win a cup in Union than than our England team in League. And there you have it in a nut shell , Apathy. it was a day out making memories and watching two decent sides , and it didn’t cost much more than a Packet of fags a few pints n a Chinese.'"
I totally get what you say. I am one of those fans however that has little interest in this type of thing. You alluded to the reasons firstly the England team will look nothing like the team they put out at the weekend. You talk about fan apathy yet some clubs have shown the same by not releasing players. RL needs to sort it's act out get some sort of real structure in place for these types of games. The last few weeks has seen patchy RL being played and by that I mean the last few weeks have seen a few empty weekends with the cup and other breaks. To be honest this is negative for the game. Now back to this weekend game I actually thought thought it was a poor game played by 2 teams thrown together. Not for me this stuff unless it becomes a serious game and not a run out.
