Serious question - is there anyone who enjoys rugby league of the last few years as much as ever?

I realise it's probably significantly exaggerated by the raiders being shit, but seriously no games are entertaining anymore. I find myself watching out of habit alone. Based on this monotonous style that has crept in I find it hard to believe I'm on my own.

I'm well aware that McCrone's play was laughable, but can someone point out how it was ruled souffs ball? He tossed a pass straight into burgess who knocked it back and it was scooped up by a raider.

Seemed like a very lucky 6 again to me

My team is decent and even I agree with you. When Fox puts on replays from the 90s I enjoy it so much more. The players weren't as big or as fit but IMO the footy was much more entertaining.

100%.

That's exactly how I saw it.

The refs must have been blinded by McCrone's shitness.

It's because, other than a few late season runs, your team has been rubbish for the past 10 years.

Last year I felt similar then suddenly the Cows went on a 6 game winning streak and I loved my footy again.

Edwards is a terrible decoy runner. The cut out ball from Campese to Croker is a dead certainty when shifting left. McCrone needs a lesson in physics; no one has ever caught up with a 15 m chip and chase.

Quite possibly. But four years ago I watched every single game. Fast forward and I barely watch raiders games, and have zero interest in neutral games.
