The Speculator:
Well, Wire are playing tonight - not that you would know it. I have never known it so quiet on here. We've not even had a 'Squad for Leigh' thread. I'm sure a few people have drifted away from this site because of how user-unfriendly it has become. I'm equally sure that a lot of fans have just started to gradually lose interest in Wire or the sport in general in this country. To be honest, I'm one of them. How many neutrals would have bothered tuning in to watch Hull KR put 70 on Salford last night? Not me. I have not even bothered watching the past few Wire games. The weather was nice so I went out with my family instead. And with Wire having eight games left that are, let's be honest, dead rubbers, I don't see the situation improving any time soon. Maybe Wire will put in some great performances between now and the end of the season, rewarding the faithful and reigniting my interest a bit, but right now, everything just feels at a pretty low ebb, rugby-wise.
The site is not ideal and I have messaged them a few times about it and I have been patient but it’s been a long time now since it’s been up and does not look like getting better anytime soon.
Regards the squad for xyz and match day thread I have been the one starting those for a fair old time now. Not done it this week for the first time I can remember because I have become so disillusioned with the club as a whole and rugby league generally with the appointment of Nigel Wood and the ongoing nonsense at Salford. Lot of players dropped out last night and now Chris Hill leaving with immediate effect to join a championship club.
Owners and the RFL are totally responsible for this mess and it impacts on fans and some players.
