Honestly fear for your lot this season because we didn't get out of second gear and didn't need to.

Not coming on here gloating (because I'm not 18 any more) but you've got a long season ahead of you and if a good team decides to go full steam they could hit 100. It looks like there are too many inexperienced kids out there and obviously I'm delighted by our progress but it just wasn't a test. I'm struggling to see one stand out player for you or even give you a silver lining past, there was no injuries and the discipline was fine.

We scored twice - just need to sort the defense out.

I pray the youngsters in our squad don't lose any spirt and put this behind them for a win against Salford next Saturday.

I don't suppose many on here are particularly suprised at the result - just hope that this isn't the shape of things to come. At least I had a happy afternoon at the Racecourse Ground, nice day and a good win.

we need experience, nous and muscle fast or we are dead in the water. it wasn't awful - we tried, we just were not remotely good enough!

Yep, most of us kind of expected it, we'll suffer some heavy defeats early on, even had we have managed to recruit better, with no prperation time we would still be looking at some tough times.

Its gonna be uphill all the bloody way, Rea has to find a way of not letting the younger players break so we can come good towards mid-season.

Where was Kieran Dixon? He would have been worth a couple of tries.

Nick Slyney will add some mongrel to the pack. But London needs more than just him to make the forwards effective. The team needs four tough forwards, plus the Albanian pair, if it is to compete.

Dixons out for months with a "bad" knee

Re: v WIDNES (a) : Sun Feb 16, 2014 6:35 pm  

Yep I been saying all along we need a veteran half-back and a couple of big old ugly props!

BUT, we WILL get there, we did get two tries, so it can't be all bad news.

To be fair Ray French said MCB has scored both!
