that's gold! Pure comedy gold!
The letter might as well be titled "please ref the game to suit our teams game plan! Because we don't have a plan B"
I thought some of the rugby I've seen this year is as good as any in previous seasons!

(which would be equally desprate!)
saints are a quality team but have relied on the same game plan for too long

| not just saints matches though is it.. how many other matches have been exciting.. i used to watch every game fri/sat on sky, now i don't bother, but watch the NL matches, as they tend to be more exciting..
anyone who thinks saints will fayre any better when the game is quicker is dillusional with our lack of pace, if anything we will probably we worse..
i just want to watch a bit of rugby that is entertaining, whoever is playing
what i suggest is you watch any game from 1997 - 2003 (a time where we won only 2 super leagues) and watch how much better the game is as a spectactle.. it's so much quicker

A word of sanity. The thing that is shocking about your team nowadays, is that kicking you to within your twenty metres is great tactics, because you simply don't seem to have the ability to go 80 yards to score any more.

Saints lack pace out wide, but around the ruck you're usually very quick which might be why the slower PTB has affected you more than some other teams. Saints should still have adapted quicker though.
The problem is that in SL we have usually had very quick PTB's that means teams can often make easy ground simply by diving to the ground, a quick play the ball and a scoot from dummy half. That in itself gets boring after a while too and doesn't encourage the halves to be as creative as they would have to be against a set defence.
Personally I say keep the PTB as it is now for about 5 years and see if it brings any benefits.

[PS: I signed it. I'm fed up of boring SL matches!'" your more than welcome to come and watch Leeds!
Super league was more borning for me turning up knowing we were gonna muller a team! Now I never know who's gonna win! which is awesome!
where as I get the feeling you just enjoy watching saints muller teams rather than seeing a contest where the out come isnt a for gone conclusion.

| last year's super league playoff attendances
GF - 68,810
Saints v Leeds 11,407
Wigan v Bradford 6,806
Cats v Wire 8,442
Cats v Wigan 9,985
Leeds v Wigan 13,112
Average Exc. GF - 9950
this seasons
GF - 63,259
Saints Wigan 13,087
Leeds Catalans 13,409
KR Wigan 8,162
Giants Catalans 4,263
Wigan Cas 8,689
Saints Giants 6,157
Wakey Catalans 4,008
Average Exc. GF 9626
That's 300 less a game this year on last year, and this year there were 2 semi finals compared with last year...
average attendances down 1000 every match this season
still, you hold on to the belief that superleague fans are not voting with their feet

thanks for such a thought out response, rather than rantings from some of your other fans.. i get just as bored watching saints putting 50 on a team as anyone, this season has been the closest ever, we were only 8 points from being champions ourselves, not a million miles away.. but this season i can honestly say i can not remember any memorable games
