I wasn't there to comment on the game. I just listened to the radio and have to say going on their commentary, we were lucky to get away with a win. I said before that St's have a lot of young talent and from what I can gain from the radio it was just their youth and keenness what let them down and stopped them from getting the win. As I said can only go on what they said on the radio, but it did sound like we were doing a lot of defending again.

I wait to hear from anyone at the game how it went and just how good or bad we were.

Also I hope the kid who was carried off (swift I think it was) is ok and is not to badly injured. The guys on the radio did say it didn't look good, so good luck to him.

Defence seems to be improving and we for played the full 80 mins. Hopefully this will give us more confidence, the players certainly seemed to enjoy some well deserved applause.

You sound like you were actually there at the ground.

If so, how did Gower and Witt play?

Who were the best London players?

First time I've seen them pay like a team, working for each other, this season. Witt played well, though stains haven't got any half backs. Dorn made a try saving tackle at a crucial time. dixon was well policed. All the forwards pulled their weight I thought. The big thing for me was the Broncos showed they could close down a game in the last quarter and grind out the win. Vast improvement.

We spent a lot of time defending our own line and coped really well. We missed a few tackles around the halfway line but mostly managed the damage.
A very disciplined performance; made metres simply down the middle, looked dangerous on the edges with ball in hand. Hats off to the Albanian massive down the middle! And Ben Fisher brought a lot of fizz at dummy half.
You asked about Gower and Witt. Well Witt played pretty well but Gower was absolutely MASSIVE. I know I've only just got home and my head is reeling from seeing us win but I honestly can't remember a better performance from a London player than the one Craig Gower gave us today. And he acknowledged the crowd on his way off the field!

Thought we really picked up when Fisher and Dorn came on. Dixon also was excellent, Cook stood out for me. Even Witt had a good game. But these slow starts still kill us. Saints forwards made loads of yards but could not finish us of. Great team performance. Two wins without Randall! Fisher is much better IMO.
I could get to like this winning feeling!

Superb win, great team performance and some superb individual showings! Gower was back at his best, thought Cook and Bailey were excellent, Dorns tackling late on saved us too! Credit also to Witt , I've been critical of him on many occasions but he was great today!
Really loved the way the players celebrated the win, seemed to mean as much to them as it did to us fans!
One of the most entertaining games I've seen in ages! C'mon London!!!

Fantastic and what a worthwhile day out. Well done London.

Did both Albanians play? Never heard the younger one mentioned on the radio
