I was at game on Friday, just have a look at the Leeds line up, proper strong squad, they put out, BJB had a field day in 2nd half.

Close 1st half though, fitness was a big factor, no real pre- season and the players are still not used to each other yet, GIVE THEM TIME.

We will struggle, But that's London for you, Get behind them,

Were there any positives from to take from any of the players individual performances. It wil take time for them to gell but i would like to think that when they are fit they will be able to compete at this level even if we are only turning over our fellow fighters scrapping to avoid relegation.

Serious question, have the Broncos got a new conditioner this year? Last year the players were not fit.

There was a lot of positives to take out of Fridays game, the 1st half we were very competitive and just did the simple things, against a full Leeds team, some very good individual tackling going on, they just need more time together as a group to work out the dummy runners and channels etc.

2nd half, we ran out of steam and the classy Leeds boys, just run away with it, they have been together as a group for years, not like us at three weeks.

We have lost at Leeds before, with better London sides,

Though, we must just pull together in 2nd half of games more quicker, hopefully time will tell.

Matt Cook was giving orders out, fronted up and tried to marshall the troops early on, we looked lightweight in forwards, but movement was good.

Also Mr Dixon is still out, our wing set up still to be explored, so when he does come back we will have to bed in again, with sets of plays and running channels etc.

Reality check, et all, we are still around and have a team, that will struggle, but I do believe, will try and will get better.

Well we really need them to be getting better very soon 'O' with critical games against widnes/Salford/Bradford games coming very soon. Can we match them with these players do you think? Catalans suggested there is hope and Leeds are very good - among the best. Would have thought the Leeds loanees would have been as fit as the Leeds team? How did the halves play by the way?

Don't think you should expect anything too specific from Westy.

On matchday, I'm sure he will have been (ahem) entertained by his two favourite women, Stella and Brandy!

A question for the fans' forum?
