Is my love for the greatest game on earth wavering?

A look at 1985 Cup Final and 2017 Cup Final worries me. Is a pinpoint accurate kick being caught and put down over the try line really that skilful and exciting? I fear not. Look at the 1985 tries and the 2017 tries and tell me honestly which are the most skilful and exciting?

Watch the NRL.

Pardon my ignorance but HOW???

Freesport launches on sky and free-view on Thursday, it will carry some live NRL. some on delayed transmission and all wolf pack home games



But in answer to the original post, I feel the same, I'm bored of the "grind" "middles" "edges" i enjoy watching Cas play the game, and I'm desperately hoping they win the grand final with well structured attacking rugby, they remind me of Wigan in Wanes first year, we were scoring tries for fun, but ran out of steam by the grand final. That seems to have sown the seed for our low risk style of minimalist rugby. It has brought some success, but you need to be winning with it, otherwise fans start to get bored (about now) and start to pick games, then get get out of the habit of attending the games altogether.

I have to agree with your main paragraph. Becoming boring.

That final bit is an excellent point.

This is what I've just alluded to in another thread.

We scored three tries as did Hull. Two of their tries came from kicks. One from our bad scrambling defence.

Two of our tries came from passing down to the wing & one from a very lucky bounce of the ball from a kick.

Yes, I'm seriously thinking about dropping the season ticket next season and picking which games to watch if there are no major changes. It's sad when match day comes along and you're not looking forward it. However loyal fans are, it's not cheap nowadays and we do turn up in the hope of being entertained.

Ive mentioned it on another thread, Rugby League is no longer the highlight of my week and i will often not watch tv matches anymore unless its cas playing, if i do i normally turn them off after the first half or halve them on in the background.

So are you going to support Castleford then?
