Odd comment to make. Anyway, the point I made is applicable to Hull FC too though. Like you probably do on Rovers, I spend a lot of money and time following FC, watching a lot of pretty average games (in terms of skill level and quality) played by some pretty average players (I'm looking at the Steve Michaels, Chris Green, Liam Salter, Dane Tilse types).
So, when some genuine world class players do show up to play a rare game in our city, some fans like Roversmad see it was a waste of money, despite it being proportionately a fraction of what they spend watching Rovers over a season.
I find it bizarre.
Agree. Second half was much better. Burgess was immense off the bench.

I'm afraid Roversmad is probably one of many who feel this way. This is due to the state of our international game. The days of scrambling for tickets for the deciding test at Elland road in 1990 are long gone and the RFL are just happy that enough turn up to make the stadium look full.
