Why In some ways I wish we had never won prem.

After losing to Sarries and hearing the booing; I thought to my self is that what winning does to a club?
Don't get me wrong winning is great and of course the idea is to win, but there are many ways to win. Rugby wins because it is a sport of respect; once we lose respect to aid our winning; we have lost.
So has winning the prem made us want more of the same, of course it has! We should be weary though of losing respect in our hunger to win.
Even with all the advantages afforded Sarries, as a club we should through hard work be determined to compete with them. Yes they can buy the best skills and conditioning coaches around but passion is something we need to find. But let us not find passion at the expense of respect, let the players find passion OUT of respect for all the fans that pay their wages; and most importantly out of respect for themselves.
Come on people, don't turn rugby into a football culture.
