Your flawed thinking is "The whole reason you play elite level sport is to win trophies" - each season only 2 teams (max) will ever do that - realistically each club sets its own performance targets, which, may/may not include winning a trophy.
You seem unable to comprehend that some supporters enjoy watching their team playing good entertaining rugby for 80 mins, where, so long as there's a level of effort and enthusiasm shown, we can be a bit forgiving of the end result - okay it's better to get a balance of results over the season, but there's no great imperative just to grind out results over 26 weeks - especially if you're playing a dull boring game that's not enjoyable to watch.
Sure, adapt and peak to win a final 1-0 if need be, but sport needs to be engaging to maintain a fan base.
Hence in many sports the best supported team isn't always the most successful team.
So using that mentality....if Wire play entertaining rugby every week with a "you score we score" mentality but end up losing every game and being relegated (unlikely yes) you would be happy with that because they were good to watch?
