You weigh up every day whether there are more good or bad things to anything we do.

Some things are close to 50/50 and some further away.

Your Girlfriend, Job, House, favourite Cafe or your internet game. Every day you do it and get a bad feeling or experience, is closer to the day you just don't do it anymore. There is heaps of warning before this happens, as the score in your mind goes from 60/40, to 55/45, to 52/48. Then one day, it is more enjoyable to doing without it to with it.

Superleague for me is losing enjoyment than it once was. Some of the blame lay with me. Not having the time I once had for it, or just unfortunate circumstance makes my side less competitive. Could I make more time, possibly, which is what I am weighing up now. But that is from a coach only perspective. For a League perspective, I like to believe it is run the best it can be. I like aspects of it, that wasn't there before, but in other instances, the act of lining up a side is a bit more tricky, and when I consider what is a realistic action as a coach, and that being blocked by this competition, it takes away from the enjoyment for me.

Is this game ending for me, is it game ending for John, or any other coach. Not yet, but if it continues to disappoint, like all other aspects in our lives, could well become a thing of the past. And like a disagreement with a Girlfriend or a dispute with your workplace, the message is sometimes, if this continues to annoy, I'm out of here.

Over the history of this game, some have mentioned there waning interest for the game, and they eventually leave. Some just left overnight. One of which surprised the hell out of me, when one of our most respected and great coaches disappeared overnight, despite appearing to love the game, was there one day, gone the next with no reason He is back now, and respected and loved as a coach, who stays in the background and just plays the game with little fan fare in Madando or M42 as he is known now, little did I know he had a farming accident.

Apart from Slade taking over from The Ox, this group is the longest serving group to this game. It helps that there are plenty of such games, and interest in this sort of game comes from more sources now days, but it is good to see. But never discount someone's poor experience with what you are doing. Like a company that ignores customer complaints, growing number of poor experience decimates. And in Superleagues history, has before.

In the past week, if this game is one that brings in rules off the discussion of a couple of coaches, being Mods or not, is not something I want to be a part of going forward.

I think it is not unsalvageable so like John, I too am agonizing over which way I should go, but this has a lot more history for me, so I am hoping that we can see a way forward.
