There is a flash sale on the Broncos Facebook page doing tickets for this game for £5. Promo code is JulySale25  Up The Fax!

Just purchased the stream on 247 tv , pretty straight forward,  £10.

Well I stupidly also forked out a tenner  for what so far has been complete dross. Playing 3 hookers again against a big pack is madness - also really missing Brandon Douglas - wouldn't be surprised if he's been dropped having been subbed last week after conceding a penalty for dissent. I'm afraid at the moment we look a complete rudderless shambles.

Absolute dross. 

A team littered with passengers. 


Both halfbacks pathetically ineffective.


No idea what happens in training but it's definitely not attack or defensive drills. 


League survival is the objective now, unfortunately. 

Lost the ability to both attack and defend, energy levels look low and so does confidence because of recent form.

Can’t remember or be bothered to check when we last had the likes of Douglas, McCarron, Dixon, Calcott and Tangata in the starting 17 at the same time to give us at least a half decent pack but having 3 hookers and McComb in the second row in the starting 17 at the same time is just bonkers the balance is just all wrong
On recruitment Nofaluma and Alfie Johnson have been okay but in the pack where it was needed the most the rest have added little to nothing.


What with the disruption to the home games for weeks on end and the standard of play hard to see it ending and overall could well go down as one of the poorest clueless campaigns for some time.

Injury free we actually have a half decent side but this constant playing players out of position is killing us . Signing hansen on a three is madness , doesn't take the line on and that high bomb to the corner is no use nor ornament and there is no shape to our attack. No scrum plays or any kind of threat in attack which bemused me as eastmond as a player was like jason Robinson as a half .When fit I'd still put woody at fb and drop salty for nofoaluma. 


Team should be 


Woody
Nof
Crooks
Johnson
Tibbs
Jouffret 
Hansen
Douglas
Obrien
Dixon
Mccarron
Tangata
Fairbank


Inman
Calcott


Then two of the other forwards.

We have gone from looking like we'll score every time we attack with a solid defence to not having a clue on the opposition line with a fragile defence. The coach has gone from being the best young bloke around to looking like he's totally lost the plot. The only good thing about Saturday was the £5 entry fee! As long as the team is being swapped around with players out of position and one of the most ineffective half backs I've ever seen in a Fax shirt nowt will change. The players are there, they've shown that, but summat's not right. Up The Fax!

Losing to a poor team that we hammered a few weeks ago,tells a story.Graham as 18th man behind 3 hookers and Mccomb tells another.If there's any truth in dropping our best player for a dissent penalty then Eastmond should go now..there should be a club fine system to deal with issues of discipline,not one that makes the whole club and supporters suffer as we're are spiralling towards league one.Was there no post match coach interview...? I had noticed he was getting more and more defensive each week even though the questioner was nowhere near as searching as he should have been..

This whole Inman playing.... well I think it was 13 its just bizzare. He tried 3 40/20s by my count and didn't get one. I actually thought Halafifi, despite clearly being unfit, offered more than O'Brien and Inman. 


Other curiosities; 


1. Where was Douglas?
2. Dixon is just wasted. He looks the same shape since pre- season and is only good for 20 mins. Play him off the bench for the last 10 in each half
3. Brad Graham is a second- rower - This experiment with McComb in the second row has to end. C. Graham is not a centre. 
4. No more bang average DRs like Cowen. 
5. London were a lot less structured but both their half's, won them the game but just being incisive and taking the line on. We didn't struggle for field position but Hansen is a shadow of a Keyes. Both our half's are not playing with any confidence. 
6. Questioning the quality of our assistant coaches - Who is our assistant coach? Coleman? 
7. Back 3 played well but Nofa needs to be playing on the wing. 


Not sure how this is going to playout. Toulose this weekend so predicting a crowd of 500 and a comfortable loss. No wins in 8. 

Spot on!
