St helens v London.

Just......why?

London have been televised twice away at 2 of the top teams in the league. If you are going to televise them, show them v bradford, in a game that could be a contest.

I've never been a fan of the top team v bottom team televised combo. I accept there are certain things at play with teams being televised a set number of times and when fixtures occur and when you can fit them in yadda yadda yadda but f*ck that's a shocking call.

Spot on. I'm a massive fan of rugby league but I've actually turned it off because, to me, it offers no entertainment value. Who else would tune in to watch a Saints training session?

Not even saints fans can get excited about it, half empty stadium and no atmosphere. So how are neutrals supposed to?

No doubt later in the season they'll televise them against wigan, after they've been relegated of course.

I think it's called twisting the knife, they have probably had enough of the Broncos saga.

Why are you not watching Mo & Ron Ball's game?

RUGBY LEAGUE is being played.

Your choice but Rugby League of any kind is worth watching.

Watching snooker instead

Completely agree!

If this game was programmed at the beginning of the season, then fair enough, however it was quite apparent from very early on that London are dead men walking, so if it’s a fairly recent addition, it’s a shocking decision.

Any newbie who just happens to be flicking through the sports channels & comes across this won’t hang about. It’s not a contest, just men v boys in a half empty stadium, with the usual fare from the commentary team.

It must be soul destroying playing for, or supporting London right now

Ruined my Thursday viewing...20-0 turned it off

I'm a saints fan and was bored as anything ... Don't understand why it was picked

Thought it was an interesting game, not the best contest but saints played some good stuff, there was some great bits of play and it was heartening to see London not give up, they improved as the game went on and would have pushed a few lesser teams quite a bit closer

I enjoyed the match. Ok there was only going to be one winner, saints looked to stroll through for try's at times. But there was positives for London and they never gave up. Nothing worse than watching a losing side giving up so for me still a contest to watch.

Why not have them two teams?
Wigan vs Warrington this year... Boring as hell
Warrington vs saints only one winner.
Catalan vs leeds and giants. Walkover scores.

Nobody can predict what's going to happen in a game. Even the 'top teams' provide awful entertainment.
Well done London for showing courage and not giving up. Rugby league how it should be.

The difference being you have no idea if Wire v Wigan is going to be boring or one sided but a top team versus the worst side in SL is a forgone conclusion.

Thought London battled well. Had saints 26-30 but I will credit the broncos for that.

Disagree there. The essence of rugby league, and any sport, is the contest. When there is no contest, there is no point.

As in the game where they played away at Leeds, I decided i would stick with it until Saints got a couple of tries, and once it was obvious there wasn't going to be a contest it went off. I have turned off two games this year, and both involved London.

See to me, rugby league is more than just a conclusion. I like to see what's on offer, wether a team will under perform because of an opponent or a weaker team will show spirit and fight for pride. We all know Warrington will probably lose in the grand final again but I'll still watch it.

I watched it & was not as bored as I thought, as I don't support either side it was interesting to watch the young kids from around the league on loan at the bronco's. I thought they did some excellent work as individuals but they are just not a team & lack the experienced head out on the pitch. But it was rugby league & that is the only reason I have Sky so I don't miss it no matter who is playing, besides don't tell me there has never been a one sided miss match screened before in any sport?

Leeds vs London a few weeks ago? also a SKY sports friday night blockbuster.

Maybe they think it will be some what of an exhibition, so they know there will be some good trys scored. People loved to watch the great Brasil football teams hammer teams. To most RL fans it was probably a boring contest, but who knows how non RL fans reacted to it.

One thing I have to say, thought the ref had a very decent game last night. Didn't recognise the name, so I guess he's just coming through.

IMO the London Broncos are improving week in week out and it will not belong until they get a win or 3. They have quite a few young players who with the right nurturing will make a decent career in the game. The problem is that the coach (Tony Rea) is not the coach to do that and they have no senior players who they can use as role models.

Enjoyed the game. Not the best game ever, as London were clearly outclassed, but they made a decent fist of it, were not disgraced, and it was good watching their collection of young uns and lesser lights busting a gut and achieving a creditable scoreline.

Yep, those of us who have stayed with the club, are soldiering on largely because of the players attitudes, far superior to last years bunch of wasters, moaners and quitters.

I have a lot of respect for Rea, in many ways he is Mr Broncos, but as a tactician he's hopeless, to be fair I guess he hasn't a lot to work with and he has instilled a spirit in this bunch.

Losing by only 30 points a game now......Catalans at magic is there best chance of a win other than maybe the last he game of the season v Bradford if the bills are already down.
