That FB* was tackling like a prop yesterday, forgot to mention it yesterday but he put a superb shift in against their big lads.

Apart from being shaky under the bomb, I think your full back did ok and had a good game. Most of your opponents will not be putting up spiral bombs like Broughy did, and on such a wet day.

Dixon is pretty solid under the high ball - Brough is an exceptionally good kicker and the weather sounded foul. suspect if Gower had played we would have done some of the same. Centre and Witt are the worry. when Robertson is back he needs to go to fullback and can interchange with Dixon, Dorn to Stand off or scrum half with Gower.

Actually huddersfield sounded encouraging on one level - i think we can win on Sunday

From memory you guys are always brilliant against us, Wakey , at your place - 36 - 0 I think last year and please let me forget the 70 odd thrashing some years ago. Then when you play at our place you never hit form. So I think your first win will be an easy win this weekend.

Yes they do play better at home than they do at our place, where they haven't won since 2003 but you could say that for most teams in SL. Last time I went down to watch Trinity in London we beat them, I think that was in 2010. Hopefully it will be a good game but I'd be extremely surprised if was an easy win for London or for that matter Trinity.

You will have a good chance against wakefield. London put in a lot of effort today, defence was particularly good.
It was the high bombs that put you under a lot of pressure.

you were spot on! can you predict a hard day at the office for us next week, please?

Re: First Win : Sun Feb 17, 2013 8:00 pm  

I think the next win could be against Skolars in next seasons friendly - assuming there are still some fans watching LBut we might be lucky and win a game in the challenge cup rounds
