Can only echo what everyone else has said deeply disappointing. in summary and this should please Jim Pooley/Gutterfax/any other aliases in use:
1. we need a half back/leader who can lead, ours currently add nothing - they may be good in the long term but are not ready
2. Why when you have a small pack keep playing one man run down the middle rugby? (the cricket analogy was spot on)
3. re points 1&2 we need to big grizzled props and one decwent half back
4. Stop laying on in the tackle to the point you give away penalty after penalty, and learn to catch the ball - surely a pre-requiste for a professional rugby player
5. develop a kicking game - we rarely get repeat sets, Dewsbury got at least 3

So overall a combination of lack of players/guile, appalling completion rate, and rotten tactics. Positives....................... we tackled reasonably well at times.............

Spot on! If I were David Hughes I would appoint you Hendo's mentor - you seem to know more than the present incumbent!

Not rocket science, suspect most LB regulars would come up with the same analysis. The worrying/sad point is the props/completion rate (maybe more) has been around for the past three years!

London Broncos. Not sure why you felt the need to ask that?

Probably because of your incessantly negative posts about anything and everything to do with London Broncos

sorry. I didn't realise that positive posting was a requirement on this forum!
London Broncos, 6 seasons ago as the "misunderstood" harlequins RL had 2,900 more fans paying 50k a game into the coffers of the club and we had the visits of Wigan, Saints and Leeds to look forward to. Forgive me for not getting moist at the thought of redemption v another bunch of part timers after another embarrassing loss to a bunch of part timers.
If you and the other apologists on here can't see that David Hughes is the problem, then god help the club.......without central funding RL in London is dead.

If you need proof of this, look at what has happened to the skolars since we stopped drip feeding them.........

Jp from what I see no positive posting is not a requirement of the forum as you well prove, however constant living in the past is pointless we are where we are that's in the doldrums, constant comments about people stealing a wage at the club achieve what? Actually is there anyone at the club you do like. As for Mr Hughes and central funding, without Mr Hughes at the moment there is no London broncos, there is no central funding the rfl would let us die.

And ain't that the truth. We all know David Hughes is a poor man manager and decision maker, but he's all we've got right now. The RFL have shown their hand, they are not interested in anywhere outside the heartlands.
It's just a shame that Mr Hughes largesse means a long slow decline rather than an instant implosion (if he'd walked away).

I am not negative just for the sake of it. I want the club to succeed but under its current ownership model, that will not happen.
As for the clubs future without Hughes, better we get used to existing without him than kidding ourselves we are ever getting back into SL.

Are you saying Broncos wont succeed with or without Hughes and that fans should accept a more successful team at a lower level.

Assuming Hughes pulled the plug and cancelled all of Broncos debts what could be reasonably expected?
