letter to the players : Mon May 20, 2013 12:47 pm  

I hope each and everyone one of you feel totally ashamed of the so called performance you put out on Saturday and are ashamed to look at your reflection in the mirror. The sad thing is as fans we know you won’t because you think you are above reproach.
You are all guilty of killing this club, abject, clueless, witless, couldn’t care less, pathetic, cowardly performances time after time is a killer. You show no pride, passion, bravery or interest and can’t even get the basic schoolboy rugby levels right.
What really annoys me is there are so few true fans left out there who work hard for a living and choose to spend their spare cash on a season ticket and they are being let down time after time because you lot have a couldn’t care less attitude. We pay up front and commit to watch you and it’s a shame you can’t show the same commitment to us. You are well paid and probably a damn site better paid than 95% of the fans left on the terrace. We know the season ticket is not expensive but the getting backwards and forwards to matches, food and drink etc is both time consuming and expensive for a lot of the fans but we do it – heaven knows why….
I would hope you would be too embarrassed to collect you pay packet this week but we all know that is a futile wish as you have to have a conscience to refuse the pay pack and none of you have that.
I have watched this team for a good many years and can say Saturday was one of the most disgraceful performances ever. You have nothing to offer or if you have you are keeping it very well hidden.
Gus is being slated for not selling the club and losing fans hand over fist but to be honest on this one thing I do not lay the blame of fans leaving at his feet I lay it at the team’s lack of pride and commitment, no one – not even the almighty himself could build crowds while you lot run around the field like headless chickens at best and a load of Jessies at worst and achieving absolutely nothing.
Wonder if you will show any pride or commitment on the box on Saturday – bet a few will because it’s contract time and you probably need a new job because I would hope and pray none of you get renewed contracts next year.
I am not a fan of Craig Gower but he is the exception to the rule as he tries to get the game going but with a team of lazy misfits he has a hard job and that is probably why he looks angry all the time.

Am I angry - you bet your life I am

I suggested on Saturday that they should have been made to give their wages to the MacMillan collection that was going around the Stoop on Saturday.

so good he posted it twice - philosophise with a hammer as Nietzsche once said!

Good lord. This is a bit over the top.

It needed saying as we have not been at the races for the last 3 years. We blamed the towel for the way we were playing, but what has changed only the coach, the way we are playing is still the same as we were before Tony Rea took over so it must be the players fault.

The players have a great chance to achieve something this season. The Challenge Cup, a semi would look great on a CV. But if we lose to the Eagles, they will be a laughing stock. So no pressure boys!

Agreed. Wigan have & will thump many teams.

I don't think its over the top, and its not just about Saturday. The players are indifferent, and paying supporters have a right to express their feelings. At least the OP seems to care. I sent the players an email via the club. It was slightly blunter. It won't make any difference but I felt better for it!

I think we've played much worse than we did on saturday. Not that that's a ringing endorsement but....

I remember a game against Catalan last year or the year before (Karl Pryce was playing for us) and we were a lot worse - the defensive line kept running backwards as everyone was too tired to tackle.

We were worse in the Widnes game at the start of this season, and I remember a game against Wakefield last year where we were physically very weak.

We were outclassed on Saturday, but I still think we've improved since the start of the season.
