Another shambolic defensive display. Some decent play and a moment of magic (Dixon's try) yet again overshadowed by another heavy defeat, due to the fact we can't do the basics right, ie tackle, pass and catch!

Howell is useless.

Re: vs Catalans : Sat May 25, 2013 1:13 pm  

The only players to put in good performances today were, Gower, Bailey(in parts), and Robertson.
Players we need to get rid of are O'Callaghan, who constantly gets found out whenever we play him, he clearly isn't good enough for SL. Probably not for the Championship either. We won't miss Sarginson much if he goes to Wigan, all game he had opportunities to pass to his winger, and the one time he shouldn't pass it, he does and Dixon gets put out. Howell had an awful game, just looked clueless at times.

I'm fed up of watching our team play like that, Catalans weren't that good in the second half, we just kept giving the ball back to them, time after time after time, and I'm sick of it. It is frustrating.

Hopefully these other games will provide some excitement to a dire start to the day. And that Wakefield and Castleford have a few fights so Castleford won't be at full strength for next week, as I have no confidence at all.

London Broncos coach Tony Rea told BBC Sport:

"I've seen enough good things that will stand us in good stead.

"But I think we're just lacking a bit of confidence, one of those intangibles in sport.

"We're short of belief and, as a group, we've got to believe in ourselves and each other.

"I've got a feeling good form is just around the corner."

is he on crack or something?

How can you expect players to believe in others who are just not up to scratch? They'd be delusional.

Tony is the one getting delusional! why do we get second half collapses time after time and He does nothing about it! Yes agreed we have some weak players, but we make schoolboy errors, Rea talks about "belief" is he not there not only to coach! but also inspire his players? perhaps not.

The way our players just give the ball away by running towards the line like JOC and usually Dixon as well is unforgiveable. RL is a territorial game where posesion is critical and more than often wins the game. To be as casual with it is ridiculous. JOC has been doing this for long enough and after Dixons howlers last season and this someone should have a word with him. Again Sargy showed his lack of understanding of the situation running towards Dixon who was on the line with nowhere to go and pasing to him for to be pushed into touch with ease.

With the end of the current series of Doctor Who last week I thought that I wouldn't have to hide behind the settee for a while. Wrong again.

Just back from Twickenham Stadium watching the yawnion premiership final rammed with 82,000 (a bl**dy good game, a sending off, 7 tries & only 5 pen cons thankfully) put on the recorded London v Cats game to see there are about 300 in the crowd. Depressing.
