I would love just love it, if London was to finish out of the bottom 4 next season just to put a spanner in the works of Nigel and Ralph. To think that promotion and relegation is the way forward for British Rugby League is in my opinion wrong. GB. England have never won a world cup or a series against the Aussies when we have had P & R.

Slightly off topic, but it was interesting to see our former secretary from the Chiswick era, Tim Lamb, next to him doing the stats - good to see one of the old crew still involved!

Thanks for that. I've often wondered who TR's left-handed scribe was, So now I know. Don't recall him being listed on the club staff though.

If TR and Shooter McGavin get us to Wembley or help us finish outside the bottom 2 I'll be amazed.

Still a massively underperforming set of players.

Done. This correspondence is now over (I should be so lucky!).

You think it was just Rea that persuaded Jamie to join us? I think it may have been a short term contract and being in the Capital of the country, rather than El St Helens, who would have loved him

TR is mates with him. He did persuade him to come.

Next game - Widnes Friday evening. We'll have had a week to get over our game at Sheffield but they have to play at Wigan on Monday evening which will be no stroll in the park for them.

So, we'll have a big advantage in terms of recovery time. But we'll have a CC SF scheduled for the following weekend and Widnes probably won't. Will our players be focussed on the league match or will they be dreaming of Wembley? TR's job to make sure they forget the CC until after next Friday.

As Brian Noble was heard to say repeatedly when coaching Bradford's Academy team years ago: NEXT!

And in the current Super League an even number of teams playing an odd number of games. Do explain that one then?

Re: Salute Mr Rea : Sun Jul 14, 2013 4:47 pm  

I would just like to think that the players are finally starting to learn. While good on Tony etc on Friday's victory, it's Widnes next, SF after that and the last few league games. I would like to see a few victories in amongst that lot but I still have a horrible feeling we may have seen t
He clubs last ever win.
