Just watched CC's post match press conf. Hardly surprising that he's not a happy bunny......
His non-verbal cues gave away his frustration!
I did think that Anthony England should have started - it seemed a strange choice of forwards and I also agree with some posters who said Justin Horo should have started too.
Oh well, onwards and (hopefully) upwards!

That was the only positive part of the day, a quick & efficient service even when swamped with Trinity fans. A tad expensive though!

It will be nice in the summer when that Beer Garden is open too.

Simple thing is that you didn't track any London players defensively when we were attacking, which is how we got to have a man over on a number of occasions, but what i was really surprised by was how unfit a number of your players were, they looked knackered 10 minutes into the second half.
I never thought we would start the season with so comfortable a win.

I thought it was fine. I'm not sure how you'll cope when Wigan and the Hull sides attend, who tend to bring large away followings, but it's fine. Was able to get a good view and the staff were very friendly.

Historically the Hull teams don't bring large followings to London, Wigan and Saints did at the Stoop.

The ground has hosted Wires, Leeds, Hull KR in the middle 8's in recent years without issues.

that what happens when you sign a 40 year old half back who has never really been any good and at wrong side of 30 his best (if that was ever good enough) is well behind him.

we are in trouble this year,

We really aren’t.

Daft as it seems, I thought at 24-26 we were back on track to take the lead. We then spilled the ball under the London sticks a couple of times and missed the opportunity.

Re: London Away : Tue Feb 05, 2019 8:48 am  

Purposely didn't post straight away, as I didn't want to make any knee jerk reactions, like some have.

Still trying to find some positives from the game, but apart from some decent defence at times from Reece Lyne, and another good showing from Kopzcak, really struggling.

We were beaten by a side who were better than us in all departments, and were out enthused.

Yes we were very poor, and the good thing is Chessie has commented on the poor performance.

Lets not get carried away, and if we have a bad perfomance in us, hopefully we have got it out of our system. It is how Chessie and the players respond to this over the coming weeks.

Wouldn't make wholesale changes, as I don't think it always works, but don't know if Danny is facing a ban, but thought he was invisible in the game at parts, so would maybe bring Jowitt back in and put Rocky back in the halves

Apologies for the comments regarding ice on terracing, I had never been before. No, there isn't any, put I do think the area of the stadium and around it has scope to be developed

If you have Trinity TV, watch the game back. Balls stripped and all players went mad. Penalty and we are level. You can't see the Miller grounding but that was very close to a try, I was stood very close. If you saw Bradford's try v Fev
then Miller's was a 100%. Tom clearly got out of the in goal on Trin TV so shouldn't have been a drop out and it wasn't Broughy who had a go at the ref so shouldn't have been sinbinned. I thought it was a naive game by the ref but certainly not why we lost. Not sure if it was his first SL game but like players make mistakes.

Yes it's totally Outrageous that A Super League club expects supporters to have no option to Stand without paying extra. Unlike London Broncos Which does have a Free covered stand with Seating unlike the Visitors on Sunday .
You can get away with anything when you use the old "We've History & Tradition " Claptrap.

Positives - Friendly stewards on entry, nice bar, good beer, free to sit.
Negatives - Horrendous viewing most of ground, Only 3 ladies toilets in whole stadium, single lane to walk round back of sticks falling into building work (That will end when stand gets built), covered in mud at one side of pitch.

One side of the pitch is home side the other side is blocked by the wooden shack. Viewing from.the single stand is poor. When the new stand gets built I'm sure it will improve things.
